For now, the Samsung t819 is all EDGE on T-Mobile’s network. That many not be the case the down should T-Mobile decides to unleash the t819’s mighty WCDMA feature on their new 1700MHz network. Other than the AWS 3G, this slider form-factor phone is darn average with features such as stereo Bluetooth, 220x176 display, 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD slot ...
