T-Mobile come back with the Samsung Comeback

We haven’t seen a flipout QWERTY phone for quite a while, so it was nice to see T-Mobile showing some faith in the style by unleashing the Samsung Comeback for US$130 with a two year plan and discounts. The Comeback is available in two colour flavours, Frost Silver Cherry and Pearl White Plum and sports a largish LCD display underneath the flip-lid. Here’s what else you get for your money

* 2 Megapixel Camera with Video Capture
* Send and receive e-mail messages
* 3G connectivity
* GPS built-in
* Instant messaging with Yahoo!, Windows Live or AIM
* Micro SD memory slot
* QWERTY keyboard
* Stereo Bluetooth wireless technology
* Alarm clock, Calculator, Calendar, Phone book
* 4.3 x 2.2 x 0.7 inches
* 4.6 oz
* 5.5 hours of talk time
* 12 days of standby time
* Frequencies 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz, UMTS

US$130 is a lot for what is really ‘just’ a cellphone, with smartphones not costing much more, you have to think ‘Why, T-Mobile, why?’. May be they are just hanckering after the good old days of QWERTY flippa models and of course if you are too then the Samsung Comeback could just be the cellphone you are looking for.

However Our Picks gives the T-Mobile Samsung Comeback a big thumbs down, units like this are practically free these days and with something like the Nokia E71x available for only $100 over at AT&T you do indeed have to think why? May be the QWERTY flippa market is stronger than we all thought.
