Amazon.com Product Description

Here's the latest contender in the race to build the thinnest, most stylish phone on the planet. In fact, the Samsung t509 is one of the skinniest phones money can buy, measuring just .39 inches thick, or 10 millimeters. Amazingly, this phone also happens to pack a lot of features into its svelte frame, including Bluetooth, a VGA camera, support for EDGE high speed data, a speakerphone, and more. It's a the perfect way to slim down and take advantage of T-Mobile service.

So thin, it almost disappears when turned sideways. View the t509 in 3D, or check out a feature presentation.
Design
One look at this phone and you'll wonder where the phone went. The design is simple, refined, and--once again--thin. The numeric keypad resides below a circular five-way control toggle that controls most of the phone's menus and functions. The large, 176 x 220 display supports up to 65,000 colors, while 10.5 MB of internal memory gives you plenty of room for pictures, contacts, and other data. The t509's VGA camera unit resides on the rear of the phone, and there's a port for plugging in the included hands-free headset.

Calling Features
The t509's phone book can store up to 1000 contacts, phone numbers and addresses, while a call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls. In addition to a vibrating alert, the t509 supports polyphonic ringtones. You can also download additional ringtones from T-Mobile's t-zones service. A speakerphone lets you talk hands-free while you're doing other things, and picture caller ID lets you assign a photo to specific callers. Similarly, a ringer ID lets you assign ringtones to callers. Like all T-Mobile phones, the t509 also supports voicemail, caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, built-in paging, and access to T-Mobile's 411 service. Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.

Need to stay in touch often with some of your closest friends? The t509 is fully compatible with T-Mobile's MyFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about MyFaves.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The t509 has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, video, graphics and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging clients for AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, and ICQ are included.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the t509, too. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the new, high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with a T-Mobile data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in browser for t-zones downloads and mobile Web browsing. T-Mobile's t-zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile text messaging users.

A number of handy productivity tools are bundled with the t509 including a voice memo recorder, an alarm clock, a calculator with unit converter, and a calendar.

Imaging and Entertainment
The t509's built-in VGA (640 x 480) camera captures stills and video to the phone's 10 MB of internal memory. The camera captures videos of up to 15 seconds in length at 176 x 144 resolution.

Meanwhile, if you want to dress up your t509, picture effects, custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be set to fit your personality. Plus, Java support is built into the t509, making it a powerful gaming companion. Games are downloadable via the t-zones service.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SGH-t509 weighs 2.7 ounces and measures 4.6 x 1.83 x 0.39 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 172 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

love it love it love it!!!.......2007-12-29

When we switched to tmobile from cingular (thank GOD!), this phone was free and I've always liked candy bar or block phones over flip.
At first I was skeptical, but then started using it and it is the best! It's easy to operate: although I had problems with texting at first (yes I'm 22 and am so slow at it!), the alarm system, the ease of the phonebook/speed dialing, showing ALL of the missed calls, programing anything in... it is the best!
I saw someone saying it wouldn't fit in their pants pockets: I SO disagree! I almost always keep it in my back pocket. I usually can't even feel it and forget where it was! It's also really great to throw in a wristlet or a small purse: just make sure it's somewhere easy to grab. It can be slippery because of the slimness.
Overall, I think it's a great phone. I haven't had ANY problems with mine since July 2006 (it's now Dec 2007).
A+ thumbs up! So try it, don't forget there is a warranty if it breaks or sucks.

not the best phone in the world.......2007-11-29

All my friends use the same service as I do and none of them have the clarity problems that I do with this phone. I break up every other sentence while talking to them .. it gets really annoying to have to repeat yourself everytime.
The sound quality kind of sucks. I keep the volume on the highest level and still have to hold my other ear closed and press the phone to my ear to hear most of the time.
other than those problems, I like the phone. The camera takes quality pictures, and texting is easy. Ringing volumes are loud enough to hear anywhere, pretty much.
If I went back in time and knew what I know about this phone, I would not choose it again.

Pretty Good.......2007-08-12

Good sound quality. Great screen. Calendar and alarms alert even when phone is turned off. The charger port malfunctioned and had to be exchanged. My experience with Samsung phones has been that they are good quality and reliable.

Avoid.......2007-06-17

- Battery lasts for short time
- User interface is unintuitive and is not optimized for typically carried out tasks
- The phone manages to unlock itself and start calling people! This situation is even worse if you have a bluetooth headset. This is perhaps the worst thing about this device

Plum Bad.......2007-05-09

I upgraded to this phone about six month ago and have had so many dropped calls. The reception is horrible! Just about every call that is longer than five minutes is dropped. I don't get service in the grocery store, at work, at my boyfriends house or at my mothers house. I don't think that it is the carrier because my previous phone did not have these problems. It is very small and lightweight and the autolock feature is nice. The camera takes clear pictures and the alarm clock has admirable features. The display screen is clear but the buttons are just a little too small for my fingers. I would suggest choosing another phone because having one that does not get service is kind of pointless.
