Match your phone to your mood with the slim, clamshell-style Samsung T639 from T-Mobile, which includes four colorful interchangeable faceplates (in navy, red, aqua, and olive). This quad-band GSM phone makes global roaming a breeze, and it's ready for T-Mobile's upcoming 3G network. It has an integrated digital audio player and the phone can stream music wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones. You can also snap photos on the go with the 1.3-megapixel camera as well as capture video. Other features include instant messaging via popular services, microSD memory expansion, dual displays, EDGE connectivity, and up to four hours of talk time.
T-Mobile Service
The T639 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.
The T639 has a 1.3-megapixel imager for still photos, and it includes a 4x digital zoom to help you get closer to the action. Capture video clips and save them on a microSD memory card. You can capture up to CIF resolution (352 x 288 pixels) in MP4 and 3GP formats.
 Sleekly styled, this lightweight clamshell phone is loaded with features, including Bluetooth for headsets and stero music streaming and a 1.3-megapixel camera. |

Battery sucks.,

This review is from: Samsung t639 Phone (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)
This Samsung t6339 battery really sucks. When I first got the phone, I didn't have to charge it every single day. After a few weeks of using it , I have to charge the battery once every 23hours. It didn't even last for a day! I checked the manual, it said the "standby" time is 8days. My standby time is only 23hours. >_<

This review is from: Samsung t639 Phone (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)
I got this phone about a year ago. I must say that I do like it. The only downside is the battery. I have to charge it daily. When I first got it, it was good to go for several days without charging. I will be traveling to test its multiband & 3g capability in Thailand and Japan and I will let you know.

This review is from: Samsung t639 Phone (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)
Both my son and I bought this phone during a promotional deal through our phone provider. We've had our phones for a little over a year (just long enough for the warranty to expire) and the right hinge has now broken on both phones. Neither our phone provider or Samsung will provide any support. We will not buy another phone from Samsung.
