Dubbed as the Rachel, the company’s first Android-based smartphone features a 4-inch display with 800×400 resolution, a microSDHC card slot, a mini-USB port, and a 3.5mm headphone socket. The phone also supports for SMS, MMS, POP, IMAP and Exchange email. The connectivity options include dual-band 900/2100MHz HSDPA 10Mbps, HSUPA at 2Mbps, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi and GPS.

T-Mobile USA is set to launch another messaging phone from Samsung namely the Samsung Gravity 2. Like its predecessor (Samsung Gravity), the Gravity 2 is also equipped with a horizontal slide-out QWERTY keypad. Other than that the specs remain standard like a 2-megapixel camera, an MP3 player and a microSD card slot. The handset will be available on T-Mobile USA’s network starting next month for unannounced price yet, in two color options: berry mauve and metallic pumpkin.
