T-Mobile Samsung Highlight: Release Date and Specs

T-Mobile are certainly launching a range of new cell phones, the latest is the Samsung Highlight, which will get its release date this month. Samsung have been a little quiet about this phone, but BGR have managed to get hold of the official specs for the latest handset from the Korean phone maker.

This latest 3G handset that will become part of the T-Mobile lineup will come with a large touch-screen display, which matches the thin profile design. There is to be two color options, fire and ice. The phone only comes with a mid-range 3 megapixel camera, but does offer 3x digital zoom.

Although the Samsung Highlight looks to be a good handset, we worry that it will become just another boring handset once the new T-Mobile MyTouch 3G is released, unless it is a lot cheaper of course.
