More details on Samsung's t819 3G slider for T-Mobile
It looks like T-Mobile had a change of heart about the coloring of its next 3G device -- Samsung's t819 slider -- after it hit the FCC recently, changing from a rather lovely medium blue to "coffee brown." That got us to thinking: does a phone have to go back through the FCC when it changes color? Probably not; in fact, we can think of plenty of examples to the contrary. That seems a little odd considering that color formulations could almost certainly affect SAR ratings, but whatevs -- point is, Boy Genius Report has a little more info on the midrange slider now. Besides the aforementioned color change, we now know that T-Mobile expects to start offloading this bad boy come January. Whether the carrier will actually start to admit that its 3G phones are 3G by then... well, that's another story entirely.
