Samsung Comeback is yet another mobile phone that is expected to soon pop up onto T-Mobile's lineup, and, as it always happens, the nearing of its launch date has brought into the wild the full specs sheet of the device. However, the technical details on Samsung Comeback haven't surfaced on the Web alone, but the pricing of the device with the wireless carrier has been unveiled as well.

According to a PDF file containing detailed specs on the phone, which surfaced on phone Arena, the device comes to the market with a full landscape QWERTY keypad, which is unveiled when the device is flipped open, complemented by an alphanumeric one, two displays, including a 128 x 128-pixel PMOLED external one that supports up to 65k colors, and a 240 x 400-pixel internal one that boasts support for up to 262k colors.

The upcoming Samsung Comeback also shows a 2.0-megapixel photo snapper, which sports digital zoom, multi-shot and video-recording capabilities, as well as audio and video players, a microSDHC memory card slot with support for up to 16GB of additional storage space, Bluetooth connectivity, USB, 3G support, and a wide range of messaging capabilities, including text, picture and video messaging, as well as email, IM and audio postcard.

While measuring 4.33 x 2.20 x 0.73 inches and weighing in at 4.6 ounces, the handset also includes a 960mAh Li-ion battery that can offer up to 5.5 hours of talk time or up to 300 hours of standby time. Users will also have the chance to enjoy quad-band GSM and single-band UMTS connectivity, as well as the support for myFaves and Internet navigation capabilities the phone comes to T-Mobile with.

As for the price tag the device is expected to feature when coming to the carrier's airwaves, it seems to have been set at $129.99 upon the signing of a two-year contract agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate. Those planning on getting the Comeback with a one-year contract agreement will pay for it $179.99 after rebate, while the full retail price is $249.99. The contract price seems to have been set a little too high, given the phone's capabilities and compared with other devices in the operator's family, but things might change in the end, so stay tuned to learn more details on it.
