T-Mobile launches Samsung SGH-t429
Originally slated for launch -- or at least, so we heard -- August 20th, the SGH-t429 dropped into T-Mobile's launch list with barely a whisper of acknowledgment from the PR types. Featuring a VGA camera, Bluetooth, the usual list of instant messaging clients, triple-band GSM / GPRS, and very little else to distinguish itself, it'll slot in the ranks as a fairly worthy lower priced set. Pricing is set at $49 after $80 instant discount, and should be hitting the shops any day now, if it hasn't already.
Samsung prepping t429 slider for T-Mobile
It seems Samsung thinks that one slider ain't enough for T-Mobile USA's lineup. The aptly-named t429 (pictured left) will slot in just below the long-since-released t629, offering up a measly VGA cam and Bluetooth in a dark, reasonably attractive package with an expected launch date of August 20 (no @Home here, sorry). Boy Genius Report has the full details, plus a closer look at the flashy t729 -- a phone that curiously extends Samsung's licensing relationship with RIM for BlackBerry Connect and SureType -- with availability allegedly starting August 1. We'll wait for 3G, personally, but you gotta like Samsung's initiative here.
