It looks like T-mobile will start offering a new starter phone called the Samsung T229 which has all the basic features of any entry level phone. It is one of newer phones that are now compatible with MyFaves and will setup with a CDMA band 0f the standard 850/1800/1900 calling band. They will offer it at a sticker price of 30 dollars with new two year contracts. My thoughts…its WAY to expensive with a two year contract.
