We can think of about fifteen plain-vanilla EDGE flips from Samsung that we’d expect T-Mobile to launch ahead of something like this, but you’re definitely not plan to see us complaining. TmoNews is claiming that the guys and gals in pink magenta have an ace up their collective sleeve in the form of Samsung’s F480 Tocco — or really, an Americanized version of it dubbed T919. Naturally, the US version goes through the usual dilution, losing the front-facing cam — but on the upside, it manages to hang on to the really important stuff like a 3G radio (AWS, we’d assume), GPS, and 5 megapixel cam. There’s no telling when it’ll be on sale, but if we know our carriers — and we think we know ‘em pretty well — they’ll want it on store shelves in plenty of time for the holiday season.

It’s not plan to satisfy your unending hankering for 3G, but ASUS’ P320 does have at least one thing going for it: it’s mighty small. The so-called “Galaxi Mini” first broke cover back at CeBIT, offering GPS, WiFi, and a 2 megapixel camera in one of the smallest Windows Mobile 6 Professional packages to hit the market. Add that to the fact that it’s looking a heck of a lot better in black than the sickly mauve the ASUS gals and dudes were showing off a couple months back, and we might just be sold. No word on a release Dat. or whether it’ll be officially offered stateside, but with that FCC certification under its belt, at least owners will be able to rest easy knowing that they’re emitting only the finest, government-approved electromagnetic radiation available.
