T-Mobile launches Samsung Beat
Attention, lovers of bizarre rings of color: your phone has arrived. Samsung's "Beat" for T-Mobile -- the SGH-T539 -- launches today, complete with that wild green ring of a speaker up front that we'd peeped before. The midrange, music-friendly flip comes bundled with a 1GB microSD card, two preloaded songs (hopefully not variations of that infernal T-Mobile theme ring), and stereo Bluetooth, along with a 1.3 megapixel camera and the now-standard myFaves support. Look for the Beat to drop today; we'll update with pricing information when we get it.[Via Phone Scoop]Update: The Beat runs $99.99 on a two-year contract.
Samsung readies A517 for AT&T, T539 for T-Mobile
A tipster has slipped us details on a couple upcoming models destined for US shores out of Samsung -- not to say that's even remotely out of the ordinary -- but in this case, one's 3G (which always catches our attention) and one's... well, funny looking. First up is the A517, yet another midrange 3G flip for AT&T that rocks UMTS, a 1.3 megapixel cam, a microSD slot, and music support along with touch-sensitive controls underneath the front side's reflective surface. Meanwhile the T539 for T-Mobile smacks of the E236 -- complete with that crazy green ring up top -- featuring quadband GSM, a 1.3 megapixel cam, and 220 x 176 display. No word on release date or pricing just yet.[Thanks, tuolumne]
