It will come out in 2 colors: red/orange and turquoise/light blue. I am so used to windows mobile and andriod features that I didnt want to look a second time at it. Its much curvier than the Samsung behold and a little smaller. Its really nice, but they need to change the features. more at http://www.Samsung-Highlight.com take care

The data plan that you get with this phone is $19.99, with unlimited web and messaging… but you’re completely right. The web you get for that price BLOWS (can’t load any real webpages), and if you’re going to pay to use those features, why don’t you just get a G1 or myTouch 3G?

But I guess this phone was marketed for teens.

So if it includes Facebook and weather info, I assume that means you need a data connection to really make use of those features, right? No WiFi? Ok, so if you need a data plan at (IIRC) $25/mo on T-Mo, then why the heck wouldn’t you step up and get the G1, MyTouch, etc, that would actually make full use of the data plan with a real full-featured browser?

That seems a bit like paying for broadband at home and then only to going on AOL.com.

Hey dipHa: I betcha it’s a resistive touchscreen, not capacitive. That is all.
