The Samsung Highlight in fire

T-Mobile's Samsung Highlight is the newest model in Samsung's touch-screen phone line that began last year with the Behold.

Also called the SGH-T749, the Highlight is positioned as an entry-level touch-screen device. On the outside it sports an agreeable design in either fire (red and orange) or ice (almost a turquoise).

You'll also find a stylized pattern on its rear face and well-designed physical controls. The 3-inch display is on the small side, but it compensates for size with a brilliant 16 million-color resolution.

The feature set isn't extensive, but it's respectable. You'll find a 3-megapixel camera, a music player, stereo Bluetooth, PC syncing, and USB mass storage, voice dialing and commands, messaging, and Web-based POP3 e-mail, a personal organizer, a 2,000-contact phone book, instant messaging, GPS, a full HTML browser, a speakerphone, and a file manager.

The Highlight goes on sale Wednesday for $149 with a two-year contract. Check out our Highlight review for the full story.

What a waste of an LCD Screen, a Battery and electricity.

Lets stick to the iPhone!!!

This looks just like the HTC Touch (read: outdated). Also, it's basically a slightly altered Behold or Memoir..they keep releasing the same uninspired phones over and over again.

Oh, Samsung...

It will come out in 2 colors: red/orange and turquoise/light blue. I am so used to windows mobile and andriod features that I didnt want to look a second time at it. Its much curvier than the Samsung behold and a little smaller. Its really nice, but they need to change the features. more at http://www.Samsung-Highlight.com take care

Hey...My name is Chris and I recently bought a Highlight and so far so good....I've owned WM devices for a few years now and the one thing I really am annoyed at with the Highlight is the AT&T application lock. Alot of my favorite Windows Mobile apps will not install. if you won a Samsung Highlight, take a look at http://www.Samsung-Highlight.com looks like a good site.
