Samsung announced the new Samsung SGH-T719 mobile phone at CTIA 2006 yesterday. The T719 comes with seamless Blackberry support, and it's getting rave reviews by those fortunate enough to be in Vegas at the moment. According to EngadgetMobile, "the BlackBerry integration was so seamless it was actually invisible (emails just showed up in the unified email / SMS / MMS messaging app)", while InfoSyncWorld were "impressed by the big, flat function and navigation keys, as well as by the smooth, easy-to-press keypad, which borrows the two-letters-to-a-key conceit of the pseudo-QWERTY BlackBerry 7100 series."

Samsung SGH-T719 Blackberry phone

Although the Samsung SGH-T719 hasn't been released yet, the glowing praise it's receiving makes this a phone that could really take off. The Blackberry support is the obvious feature that's got everyone excited, with seamless email access and the familiar Blackberry user interface. However, the whole phone seems to be a winner, with its light yet solid build, 1.3 megapixel camera, EDGE support, Bluetooth, SyncML and a media player.

The Samsung T719's release date is expected to be the third quarter of 2006 in the US (price not yet available).
