Samsung prepping t429 slider for T-Mobile - Engadget Mobile (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/07/16/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.
T-Mobile Samsung launch details! : The Boy Genius Report (http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/07/16/t-mobile-samsung-launch-details/)
A little birdie dropped us some interesting details about a couple of upcoming T-Mobile handsets. Both the t429 and t729 are Samsung sliders. The Samsung t729, which will also be marketed as the Samsung Blast, is a BlackBerry Connect equipped device, sporting a SureType keyboard, 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and more. As far as we know this is the first BlackBerry Connect-capable device to come in a slider form factor. The Samsung t429 leans more towards the pedestrian side of things, sporting a VGA shooter, Bluetooth, and the usual host of built in apps and features. The Sammy t729 will be available beginning August 1st, with the Samsung t429 dropping on the 20th of August. No pricing info is available just yet, but we'll keep our ears to the street and hit you with any further details we happen to uncover. Full spec sheet after the jump!
Thanks, tmophonehome!
