Oh messaging fans…

So my email inbox had a little goodie this morning, a brand new Samsung phone, the T459 aka “the Holic.” Previously mentioned here, think Sprint Rumor, but with myfaves and definitely not with Sprint. Slated for a November release this phone is sure to please the kids over the holidays and even you grown ups who just plain love texting without all the “flair” blackberries, sidekicks or Android will provide. Expected to come in two different color selections: (Gray)Black/green and White/blue, we’re looking at a beautiful holiday price tag of under $50 dollars post rebate. Other extras include a 2.0 megapixel camera, both horizontal and vertical screen viewing (obviously), full qwerty keyboard, stereo bluetooth and a patridge in a pear tree. Word on the street says that this phone is a Samsung Blast replacement (did anyone ever buy that phone?) and it certainly looks like a winner for the texting crowd.

Sorry for the holiday throw ins, I know its only September but National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is on tv HBO right now and it just gets you in the holiday spirit.
