Well, it was about time someone made a Blackberry/phone that folds up like your average cell phone. After all, this is the age of compactness, and if something electronic doesn’t fold up, then it deserves to stay on the table or desk, plugged into the wall. Fortunately, Samsung has responded to this consumer desire.

The Samsung T719 can boast that it is the first Blackberry/phone that comes in clamshell format. This Quad-band GSM/EDGE phone has recently met FCC approval. It features a Sure Type keyboard, a 1.3 megapixel camera, voice-activated dialing, Bluetooth support, as well as other e-mail features.

T-mobile is definitely expecting to “get more” once this device launches, which retails for $299.99 and is available “soon”.
