T-Mobile Begins Advertising New Samsung Slider

August 2nd, 2007 · Source · No Comments

Updated. T-Mobile has begun feature the Samsung T729 / Blast in commercials recently. This slider is the follow up to the T719 clamshell and includes a similar SureType-style keypad with two letters on each key in a QWERTY arrangement. Recent FCC documents and support documents from T-Mobile reveal the T729 features a 1.3 Megapixel camera and Bluetooth like its predecessor and appears to add a MicroSD slot. The keyboard can be used in any application, however no mention is made of any Blackberry email application in the documentation. Neither T-Mobile nor Samsung have officially announced the T729 but since ads have started, a launch will most likely occur soon.
