CTIA 2006 -- Samsung introduced its answer to Motorola's slim SLVR by announcing the t509. At just 9.8mm thick, the t509 qualifies as the thinnest handset for the US market. It's not as thin as the EV-K100 in Korea (7.9mm), but it makes the RAZR (14mm) and SLVR (11mm) seem chunky.

Features of the Samsung t509 include:

  • Bluetooth
  • EDGE high-speed data
  • 262K color screen
  • VGA camera

We expect the t509 to debut on T-Mobile USA around May.

Wow that is thin, wonder what it would look like next to an iPod nano?

It's *really* thin. I accidently left my nano at home, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make any comparison shots. Not only that, but the plane ride home is going to suck :P.

Couldn't wait to get it.
And tomorrow I'm bringing it back.

Great features, truly amazing.

But TOO small.
