T-Mobile's 3G portfolio gains momentum, Samsung t819 next


We're starting to sense a trend here -- much like T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home lineup, the carrier's nascent 3G lineup is quickly getting filled with bland, anonymous handsets that prevent power users from really getting into the tech. Then again, maybe that's exactly the idea: keep the really big, important initiatives in the hands of perfectly average users that won't be stressing it too hard before popping for the serious hardware. Anyway, here's the SGH-T819 from Samsung, a WCDMA 1700 slider that keeps things low-key with a relatively unremarkable design and a 1.3 megapixel cam for the occasional candid shot. It'll likely be T-Mobile's first 3G slider, but let's be honest -- the lion's share of buyers won't even know what magical goodies lie beneath that blue plastic. No word on a release date or pricing for the t819 just yet.
