T-Mobile and Samsung announced the new SGH-T439 today. It's a slim flip phone (not a new Samsung concept by any means) that sports a 0.60-inch profile and a black-and-blue color scheme. Features are mostly midrange; offerings include a 1.3-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, a WAP 2.0 Web browser, a music player, a microSD card slot, instant messaging, and quad-band world phone support. Normally $149, you now can get the T439 free with service on T-Mobile's Web site.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
