Reviews of the Samsung SGH-T639 (T-Mobile)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Samsung SGH-T639 has decent call quality and a solid feature set including Bluetooth, a speakerphone, and a music player.
The Bad: The Samsung SGH-T639 has flat controls and a sensitive audio sweet spot. Also, it lacks voice commands, and its 3G services are not yet operable.
The Bottom Line: Though it's not 3G quite yet, the Samsung SGH-T639 is a satisfying midrange phone in the meantime.
