We can think of about fifteen plain-vanilla EDGE flips from Samsung that we'd expect T-Mobile to launch ahead of something like this, but you're definitely not going to see us complaining. TmoNews is claiming that the guys and gals in
pink magenta have an ace up their collective sleeve in the form of
Samsung's F480 Tocco -- or really, an Americanized version of it dubbed T919. Naturally, the US version goes through the usual dilution, losing the front-facing cam -- but on the upside, it manages to hang on to the
really important stuff like a 3G radio (AWS, we'd assume), GPS, and 5 megapixel cam. There's no telling when it'll be on sale, but if we know our carriers -- and we think we know 'em pretty well -- they'll want it on store shelves in plenty of time for the holiday season.

other than that, you may notice 2 holes on the left of earpiece
cam for video conference?????
Weird! That is what it looks like, isn't it? Will this be the first US mobile that has video conferencing?
rtfa. it says they removed the front-facing camera.
this looks legit, i worked for t-mobile and i remember that carpet in the office. Not to say its not, but just my 2 cents.
VERy Impressive!!!
I Cannot WAit to hear New Details on this one....
BRING IT ON SOoner Rather Than Later PLEase T-Mobile!!!!
- D
FINALLY They're BRinging it!!!!
what!? if this is true i'll be the first at tmobile buying this phone!
WOW...I actually just got this phone unlocked about 3 days ago...The Phone rocks... i got it with the front facing cam in tact. Has an FM radio with amazing signal and the browser speed on the phone with T-mo is way fast i can image the speed increase once t-Mo's 3G kicks in. Its fully touch screen has a micro SD card great head hones that come with it and the AWESOMEST part is that is comes with a battery cover / leather screen cover.....The Tocco rocks....TouchWIZ is awesome.
that's funny, i tried out Tmo in the Chicagoland area, and i failed to get EDGE signal even once. GPRS was too slow, so i returned it and went back with AT&T
You wont notice any speed increase when T-Mobile flips the 3G switch. The unlocked Euro F480 doesn't have the right MHz bands for T-Mobile 3G.
Bad Problem: 3 1/2 hours talk time. are you kidding me???
