Samsung SGH-t409

Samsung today announces the availability of SGH-t409, one of the first mobile phones to support T-Mobile(R) HotSpot @Home(SM).

Exclusive to T-Mobile, the t409 is an easy-to-use flip phone with a host of features, including Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth(R) wireless technology, a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera with digital zoom and picture and ringer caller ID. Available in a sky blue color, the t409 seamlessly makes and receives calls over a home Wi-Fi network with T-Mobile HotSpot @Home.

"Samsung is proud to have worked closely with T-Mobile to develop one of the first products to launch with T-Mobile HotSpot @Home," said Peter Skarzynski, senior vice president, Samsung. "The t409 provides consumers with a stylish, Wi-Fi enabled phone, delivering great in-home coverage when packaged with T-Mobile HotSpot @Home."

"We have worked closely with Samsung to ensure T-Mobile HotSpot @Home and the Samsung t409 work seamlessly together, giving customers the best experience possible when making and receiving voice calls at home over Wi-Fi, or on T-Mobile's nationwide wireless network," said Mike Selman, director of product marketing, T-Mobile USA. "Our customers get a revolutionary service and a cool-looking phone for the ultimate mobile experience."

The t409, a key component of T-Mobile HotSpot @Home, is designed to seamlessly connect customers to a home Wi-Fi connection or T-Mobile HotSpot. When T-Mobile HotSpot @Home customers leave home or a T-Mobile HotSpot, their calls seamlessly transfer onto T-Mobile's GSM/GPRS/EDGE wireless network.
