According to the latest news on the Internet, wireless carrier T-Mobile should soon add to its offering a new Samsung mobile phone, namely the Samsung Highlight. The handset has leaked into the wild recently, courtesy of some screenshots that show both the device and its specification list. In addition, the phone seems to be getting ready for a release into the market, as it should land on the carrier's airwaves as soon as July 15.

The new Samsung Highlight, the reports say, should hit the shelves with a touchscreen display, as well as a 3.1-megapixel photo snapper with auto-focus and video recording capabilities. In addition, the device should also feature Bluetooth connectivity, GPS receiver, a microSD memory card slot for additional storage space, USB 2.0 port, speakerphone, as well as support for myFaves and Web2Go.

Moreover, the mobile phone is also expected to include support for Instant Messaging and mobile email, music and video players, text messaging, picture messaging and video messaging capabilities, PC syncing functionality, support for voice notes, and more. For what it's worth, the Samsung Highlight, which seems to resemble a lot the Samsung Spark that was previously spotted in T-Mobile's leaked Walmart roadmap, should be a rather attractive device, sporting an affordable price tag.

While expected to hit the market on July 15, no exact details on the pricing of the Samsung Highlight have surfaced, though they should become available in the near future. For what it's worth, it should be rather interesting to see what else T-Mobile has prepared for July 15, since this is also the launch date of Dash 3G. In addition, the company has been also reported to plan on releasing into the wild a series of Android mobile phones, and the first of them should also land during the following weeks.
