    The Good: The Samsung SGH-T539 Beat offers decent call quality and great battery life. It also comes with a solid feature set including Bluetooth, voice dialing, and an external memory slot.

    The Bad: The Samsung SGH-T539 Beat's music player and overall design was uninspiring. Also, its flat keys hampered usability.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SGH-T539 Beat does its primary job well, but it's not the most exciting music phone in T-Mobile's stable.
