Samsung and Verizon Wireless have just announced the Samsung Trance, a slim slider music phone with a touch-sensitive navigation pad. It boasts enhanced sound technology, thanks to Bang & Olufsen's ICEpower, 1GB of internal memory, stereo Bluetooth, a microSD card slot expandable up to 16GB, A-GPS, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. It looks very sleek and stylish, but we do wonder if the touch-sensitive pad is usable. Check it out when it comes to stores on April 24 for $49.99 with a two-year contract. The Trance is available in both Piano Black and Electric Red.
