Amazon.com Product Description

Don't turn this phone sideways. It's likely to disappear. Meet one of the thinnest phones on the market, the Samsung SGH-t519 Trace. At just about a quarter of an inch thick at its widest point, this phone slides effortlessly into the tightest jeans pocket. It also looks great, with a unique beveled faceplate that makes it comfortable to hold.

Slim enough for any pocket. View an interactive demo (requires Flash).

Somehow, Samsung has also managed to fit some amazing features into this small package, including stereo Bluetooth, a music player, support for EDGE high-speed data, a speakerphone, a 1.3 Megapixel camera, and perhaps most impressively, the t519 also sports a Micro SD/TransFlash memory slot.

Design
The t519 takes the candybar form factor and runs it under a steamroller, making this one of the flattest phones on the market. Constructed of fiberglass-infused plastic, the case might be thin, but it's also strong enough to handle rough and tumble days. The large, 220 x 176 display supports up to 262,000 colors -- plenty of resolution and color depth for your videos and photos. A five-way center control button is positioned below the display, as are shortcut and selection keys. The phone's 1.3 megapixel camera is housed on the rear of the phone, and a USB data port is provided, as well. Side keys allow you to quickly control the volume while you're on a call.

Calling Features
The t519 is designed to hold 1000 contacts, phone numbers and addresses. A call list remembers your most recent missed, received and dialed calls, and in addition to a vibrating alert, the phone supports polyphonic ringtones and MP3-based music ringtones. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and more ringtones can be downloaded 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. The t519's Bluetooth wireless technology lets talk freely on a wireless headset or sync up seamlessly with your PC and other compatible Bluetooth devices. You can even use it with wireless stereo headphones. Like all T-Mobile phones, the t519 supports voice mail, caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, built-in paging, and access to T-Mobile's 411 service.

A 1.3 megapixel camera is housed in the back.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The t519 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.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the t519, too. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with T-Mobile data service 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 downloads and mobile Web browsing.

A number of handy productivity tools are bundled with the t519 including an alarm clock, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and a timer. And because the t519 supports the SyncML synchronization standard, you can easily sync your PC-based contacts via USB or Bluetooth.

Imaging and Entertainment
The t519's built-in 1.3 megapixel camera captures still pictures and video images, and you can easily print your pictures without a PC, thanks to the phone's PictBridge compatibility. Simply connect the phone via USB to a PictBridge-compatible printer and print away.

Into music? You're in luck with the t519. The t519 can play your favorite music. With the built-in memory card slot- and a few memory cards- the t519 can play all your music. Store your favorite MP3- or AAC-based music on the t519 and listen whenever the feeling strikes you on the built-in stereo speakers. When you want to jam out in private you can use a Bluetooth wireless stereo headset. Lastly, if you want to dress up your t519, picture effects, custom screensavers, backgrounds, and themes can be set to fit your personality.

Java support is built into the t519, making it a powerful gaming companion. You can also download games directly to the device, or use the handset's USB data connection to load more games and files onto the phone. Games are available via the T-Mobile t-zones service.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SGH-t519 weighs 2.50 ounces and measures 4.45 x 1.97 x 0.30 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.0 hours of digital talk time, and up to 192 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900/1800/1900 frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Samsung T519 Fragile.......2007-11-09

The phone is sleek, indeed. I do like it. You can put it in your pocket or a suit pocket, and nothing shows. Very comfortable to carry around. Buttons are too close together and volume does sound low. Battery life is somewhat good. Make sure that you have a charger in your car, work and home. They are cheap to come by, so why not? The phone is fragile. I got mad at the phone for dropping a call, and I flexed it lightly. The phone snapped in half. It still worked. I taped it up and used it. I did end up bying a bad phone on ebay to replace the casing. If you go that route, make sure that the keyboard works. When the phone snaps, that is the only cable that gets broken. So you could get a decent looking, bad phone with a bad display and as long as the keyboard is good, you can replace it.
Overall, I am satisfied with it.

I love this phone........2007-09-28

I am in love with this phone. Sure it has a few minor flaws, but overall I am so satisfied. I have been a samsung user since I started up with Tmobile about 4 years ago. This is now my 4th phone and my favorite. After my third samsung I switched to motoralla and hated it, so I went online and paid for the upgrade for this phone. It's slim and nice looking. It has an excellent big screen that you can set pictures to that you have taken. It also has a pretty good camera. The speaker phone is pretty loud, but the volume is kind of quiet. The slots to charge the phone and for the memory card are just plastic so they can break easily but I've had this phone for over 9 months and have not broken them yet. It's a thin phone so it's easy to drop and lose, but I just bought a great silicone skin cover that fits perfectly so it will help with the dropping of it. It's a nice phone so just be careful with it. I love it.

NO BLUETOOTH MP3 LISTENING--PER SAMSUNG!.......2007-08-02

I got this phone thinking that I could go buy a bluetooth stereo headset and use it for voice calls as well as listening to MP3 music--wrong! Yes, you can use a Bluetooth stereo headset for voice calls, but you can NOT listen to MP3 music through your Bluetooth stereo headset. Not good news--I though that I had misread the description here incorrectly, but I actually got a T-Mobile Tech Support person to call Samsung directly and she confirmed it....

So yes, you can listen to MP3s over the tinny little speaker in the phone or through the tinny little speaker on the MONO headset that is included with the phone--but not through a Bluetooth stereo headset... So why bother with this phone if you are like me and want to listen to your tunes in stereo and through a Bluetooth headset?

Great Phone, but T-Mobile has crippled some features.......2007-06-14

This phone is great for talking and makes a great MP3 player when you get a micro-sd card to go with it. light, small, good sound, good battery life... etc.

T-Mobile has however crippled some of the functionality that make this phone look really apealing:

1) No full screen video.
2) No ringtones or wallpapers off the microSD card - files must be copied to phone.
3) No 3rd Party Apps
4) No JAVA app connectivity to the internet - thus killing lots of options.
5) No JAVA Serial support
6) Codes for usual samsung features (JAVA Serial, etc) do not work
7) The only highlight color for the display is pink - unchangeable.
8) No changing softkeys in standby mode - unchangeable from "Menu" and "t-zones". This should be a simple option in the software as it usually is, t-mo took it out.
9) Crippled pop3/imap support. bleh.
10) Ringtones capped at 30s.

Some people have complained about a file size limit on MP3s but I can listen to 22MB MP3 podcasts from the memory card on mine. The caveat with MP3s is that they must be 192kbps or smaller in quality.(bitrate)

You will be satisfied with this phone if you want a phone and mp3 player with a half decent camera, but heavy customizers should look elsewhere (Samsung X820).

Fragile!.......2007-06-01

Pretty much everything about the various features of this phone have been debated in the reviews so I'll skip that. However, one thing that should be noted is that this phone is way too fragile. I recently dropped the phone off my desk, a height of not even 4 feet and the screen is utterly destroyed. I'm about to go attempt to somehow either get my money back on my phone or get it repaired. However, if a company is willing to make a phone that cheap, I have a feeling that they probably save money on customer service as well.
