Samsung T719 the first BlackBerry/phone with a clamshell format is expected to be launched soon.

With a stylish format the device features a SureType keyboard, a rotating 1.3 megapixel camera with LED flash, speakerphone, voice-activated dialing and Bluetooth support. Recently approved by the FCC, T719 has a slim and light form, which makes it an extremely pocket-friendly alternative to other T-Mobile phones. The phone is a quad-band GSM/EDGE that comes with an internal memory of 25MB and BlackBerry push email. The instant messaging with support for ICQ or AOL could finally make the e-mail-ing easy for everyone. Unfortunately, the lack of a card slot for memory expansion limits the user to a short number of photos and MP3's that can be stored.

Samsung T719 is expected to be launched by T-Mobile in the third quarter of this year at a retail price of 299.99 $.
