The TracFone Samsung T301g "Stylish Slider" (as TracFone describes it) showed up for sale yesterday on the TracFone website for $49.99. Curiously, on the first day of its release, it did not include the double minutes for life, but now it shows that DMFL is included.
I won't list all of the features here, because you can read the list yourself on the TracFone website, but I will touch on a few of the major points.
First, this is a slider phone, so the display slides up and down to cover/uncover the keypad. It's the first slider, excuse me, Stylish Slider, in TracFone's arsenal. That in itself makes this phone kind of interesting.
Another listed feature that I don't see on other TracFones is MMS picture messaging, which is a nice plus. You never know with TracFone, but I would assume that you would be able to take a picture with the phone's camera and then send it as a picture message to a friend.
The TracFone Samsung T301g is also bluetooth wireless enabled. One of the big beefs with the bluetooth TracFone W376g is that it only worked with headsets. In fact, the details page on the TracFone Website for the W376g has the following disclaimer:
** this phone does not support PC connectivity via Bluetooth® or USB
I don't see that disclaimer on the details page for the T301g, so maybe there's hope? I don't see the disclaimer for the LG600 either, and I was able to get it to connect with bluetooth to my computer, though others have not had success.
Another unkown is whether the internet access is locked down to only TracFone sites.
I have someone working on a review for me, so we should have answers to these questions and more within a week or two.
In the meantime, you can find the full list of features on the TracFone website, and also the Samsung website.
Update: The Fone-Review Samsung T301G review (part 1) is now posted!
