+ REVIEWS:

MobileTechReview have recently reviewed the Samsung Trace SGH-t519 where they rated the phone 4/5 and write;
“Measures in at 0.33” thin, the Samsung feels very slim in hand though not entirely small since the height and the width aren’t terribly small numbers. The slim body actually doesn’t feel as good in hand compared to a chunkier phone like the Samsung t629… The Samsung Trace has an awesome TFT display that looks super crisp, bright and color saturated. The 1.9” display is the same size as the one on the t509 but changed in orientation. The landscape screen resembles the Samsung i320 and makes for a great web page viewing experience and works well with messages, calendar app and other software on the phone. The bright and colorful screen is perfect to show off your photos, graphs and movies.”

Mobileburn have recently reviewed the Samsung Trace SGH-t519 where they write;
“While the Samsung SGH-T519 can’t compare to some of Nokia’s S60 devices when it comes to multimedia capabilities, it does OK considering its size. The 1.3 megapixel, video-capable camera that is built into the T519 takes reasonable photos, even if they do appear to be soft in terms of focus. The colors are generally good, at least. As with most Samsung cameraphones, the number keys on the keypad can be used as shortcuts for the most often accessed settings. Photos taken with the T519 can be uploaded to an online T-Mobile album if you wish, which is kinda nice…Pros: Great design, good keypad, nice display, Bluetooth. Cons: No voice dialing, average sound quality”

LaptopMag have recently reviewed the Samsung Trace SGH-t519 and write;
“The phone’s talk time and battery life are good. Samsung has upped the talk and standby time from 3.5 hours and seven days on the T509 to 6 hours and eight days on the Trace. When we used the phone for a few calls, we noticed voices came through loud and clear, without as much garbling as we tend to get on other phones. When calling one contact on his land line, though, we were told we sounded kind of nasal, which may or may not be the phone’s fault. The phone is quad-band and works on T-Mobile’s EDGE network..Overall, the Trace is a solid phone at a good price. It’s extremely portable, filled with features and sexy-a strong combination for those who value form and function. “

DigitalTrends have recently reviewed the Samsung Trace SGH-t519 and write;
“Fans of text messaging and IM will have a ball on the Trace. The keypad is very responsive and Samsung’s dictionary comes with all your favorite words included (for the most part). You can sign online with AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, or MSN Messenger and chat with your friends. It works well, looks good, and is easy to use. Samsung did a nice job adding to their IM client this time around. “

CNET have recently reviewed the Samsung Trace SGH-t519 where they rate the phone 7.6/10 and write;
“The good: The Samsung SGH-T519 has a trendy design and offers Bluetooth, a speakerphone, a memory card slot, and world phone support. The bad: The Samsung SGH-T519’s call volume is low and photo quality is average. The navigation toggle is hard to use and lacks voice dialing. The bottom line: Though its performance could be improved a tad, the Samsung SGH-X820 is an attractive thin phone with a nice assortment of features. “

Infosyncworld have recently reviewed the Samsung Trace SGH-t519 where they rate the phone 70% and write;
“What’s positive: The screen is fantastic, and the phone itself is remarkably slim and light. Impressive number of features packed into such a slim handset. What’s negative: Messaging doesn’t take advantage of the beautifully clear screen. Call quality is mediocre. Slim design and slippery keys makes dialing and typing difficult and uncomfortable. Conclusion: Samsung has certainly succeeded at designing an ultra-slim phone packed with modern features, but the Trace stumbles when it comes to the basics. “
