"Relieved that I've found a good phone!"
Pros: Excellent LCD display screen, .3 inches thick, quad-band GSM, decent talk time
Cons: display does not stay lit, ringtones aren't very loud, battery hard to take off
Summary: I just signed a contract with T-mobile. Given the 2 week trial period, I started off with a Nokia 6103. I quickly traded that in for a Samsung t609 and was STILL unsatisfied. I decided to trade that in for the newest release, the Samsung T519. I immediately fell in love with it. Out of the three listed phones, the "Trace" offers the longest talk time(6 hours). The keys are easier to manage as well. The applications load up more time efficiently then the other phones i've used. One thing i really love about it is the ability to use mp3's as ringers. I make my own at www.myphonefiles.com and just send them to the phone. I had trouble doing that with the others. It's really a beautiful phone. It's so slim that I put it in my pocket and don't even realize it's in there. The extra memory slot is AWESOME...i can store many more pictures, ringers, mp3's, data..etc. One thing that was difficult to manage was the battery door. It's pretty hard to take off. This could be a GOOD thing and a Bad Thing. The keypad works excellent for me. However, someone with larger fingers could definitely have some issues with it. Overall, i'm extremely satisfied with my choice. I couldn't have asked for a more attractive, feature packed phone, at a reasonable price.
