Samsung SGH-t819

Samsung SGH-T819
With Earphones Angle Open Angle

review

By Sascha Segan

The flagship of T-Mobile's new 3G lineup—at least, the most expensive phone of the bunch—the Samsung t819 is a slim slider phone that just doesn't live up to the next-generation network it's supposed to herald. While it has a wonderfully bright screen, its mediocre call quality and other features make it less compelling than the competing Nokia 6263.

Bottom Line

The Samsung t819 is the most expensive phone so far for T-Mobile's 3G network, but it doesn't match the performance of Nokia's competing 6263.

Pros

Uses T-Mobile's new 3G high-speed network. Good battery life. Bright screen.

Cons

Mediocre voice quality. Poor music player.
