Looks like T-Mobile is finally bringing the F480 Tocco to their lineup – albeit with a bit of a name change. It’s now the Samsung T919 “Behold”. Fortunately, though we don’t know all that much about this one’s insides, we know the important bits: it’s got a full touchscreen display, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, and according to it’s FCC papers, AWS HSDPA (3G), Bluetooth, and assisted GPS.
While this handset would have cost three or four hundred bucks just a year or two ago, the price of this one is a solid sign of the impact on the market made by the likes of the iPhone and the G1. According to TmoNews, the T919 will set you back just $149 (after rebate, presumably) when it hits retail on November 10th.
Behold is an elegant phone with a hip design. It isn’t a smart phone but this machine offers a wide range of higher end features not typically found on such a device: speaker-independent voice dialing and commands, USB mass storage, PC syncing, Web-based POP3 e-mail, instant messaging, voice memo recorder, Telenav Navigator GPS support, and Bluetooth with a stereo profile.
I found this really accomplishing my cell phone needs.
