The phone also includes Bluetooth connectivity for both stereo music streaming and communication headsets, a 1.3-megapixel camera, MicroSD memory expansion, MP3 player with built-in stereo speakers, and a speakerphone.

T-Mobile Service
The T819 operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"). It's also one of T-Mobile's first handsets to use its new 3G UMTS/WCDMA network (1700 MHz), allowing you to download ringtones and games, send photos and videos to online albums, access high-speed color Internet sites, and email quickly while on the go. Where UMTS isn't available, the handset will automatically connect to T-Mobile's EDGE network.

This phone is compatible with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves from T-Mobile.

It also includes the T-Mobile Address Book service, which lets you add or edit contact info online, store it on T-Mobile's server, and then synchronize the changes with your phone. You can import from Microsoft Outlook, .vcf files, or use .csv files to import from Yahoo!, Gmail, etc., as well as back up your phone's address book with enhanced safety features.

The slim slider T819 offers stereo Bluetooth streaming capabilities and a 1.3-megapixel camera with video capabilities.

Phone Features
Measuring just 0.55 inches thin, the Samsung T819 sports a large 2-inch LCD screen with support for 65K colors and a 176 x 220-pixel resolution. The top of the phone includes a standard four-way toggle, two soft keys, and answer/end buttons, and the numeric keypad is found underneath the sliding face. The phone's camera lens requires that the face is slid open. The camera can snap pictures in four resolutions--from 128 x 96 to 1280 x 1024 pixels (1.3 megapixels)--and it offers a 4x digital zoom, night mode, brightness and white balance settings, self-timer, and multiple color effects. It can also record video clips with sound, and both images and videos can be saved either to the phone's shared 30 MB of memory or an optional MicroSD memory card.

Because the T819 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless communication headsets can be configured with the phone for total hands-free operation. It also comes with a speakerphone option for when you don't have a Bluetooth headset handy, as well as voice recording capabilities for short notes to yourself. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

In addition to SMS text and MMS picture messaging capabilities, the T429 offers built-in instant messaging with Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, and ICQ services.
