Learn more about the Samsung T309. You can also see it in action.</td></tr></table> Design
The T309 sports a slim, sleek clamshell design with a large 128 x 160 color display with 65,000 colors. A supplementary, 96 x 96 monochrome screen on the front of the cover keeps you up to speed on time, date, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side, and there's also a button for quick access to camera functions. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. There's also a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets, while the phone's charging and data ports are placed on the bottom of the unit. And because the T309's antenna is housed inside the phone, there's nothing to snag or break off.

Calling Features
With 10 MB of internal memory, and an expansive, 1000-contact address book, the T309 is designed to hold all of your important calling information. The phone also features 40-chord polyphonic ringtones, and in addition to the built-in ringers you can download additional ones from T-Mobile's t-zones service. A vibrate alert silently notifies you of incoming calls when you want to be discreet, and a handy speakerphone lets you talk handsfree or hold conference calls. Meanwhile, ringer and picture ID lets you assign photos and ringtones to callers. Like all T-Mobile phones, the T309 also supports voicemail, caller ID, conference calling, call forwarding, call waiting, call hold, built-in paging, and access to T-Mobile's 411 service.

Messaging, Internet, and Tools
Powerful messaging and Internet capabilities are built into the T309. Support is provided for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via MMS messages. When used in combination with the phone's camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging is also supported via the AIM, Yahoo!, and ICQ messaging clients (T-Mobile messaging charges apply), and there's also a built-in web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile web browsing. T-Mobile's t-zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile text messaging users.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the T309 including a calculator with a unit converter, an alarm, a voice memo recorder, and a calendar.

Imaging and Entertainment
Kick the fun up a notch with the T309's integrated VGA (640x480) camera, which includes a video capture capabilites and an LED flash for getting good shots in low-light situations. The phone also allows you to set screensavers, themes and wallpapers to suit your tastes. The phone is Java enabled, meaning it supports games written on the Java platform. The unit ships with several games and more are available via the t-zones service.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung SGH-T309 weighs 3 ounces and measures 3.7 x 1.9 x 1 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4.5 hours of digital talk time, and up to 216 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Best clamshell phone I've ever used........2007-03-11

I am very impressed with this phones overall usage. I have never had one single problem with any of the many functions. It is solid built, but not to the extent of a tonker truck for outright abuse. From some of the reviews I have read, they must be doing something wrong or trying to use them like a computer and abusing them in transport. I have seen how my teen age grand daughters abuse thier cell phones, thier lucky to last nine months without some kind of damage,they are always dropping them. I like being able to take picture for my wallpaper display. I definitely recommend this phone...

Speakerphone button sucks.......2007-01-11

I had this phone for 12 months and just upgraded to the Motorola Razr v3. The thing I hate the most about my Samsung is the speakerphone button because it won't turn the speaker on, and my many dropped calls. I had to replace my phone twice. I hopefully will have better luck with my new Motorola.

Phone shuts down spontaneously. .......2006-12-18

I've had this phone for a few months now. The phone normally works. However, it tends to turn itself off, especially when calls are made in areas with poor reception.

T-mobile sent me a replacement battery for free when I told them about the problem. But the phone only turns itself off less frequently because I spent more time in places with better reception. However, the problem still happens.

I just finished calling T-mobile technical support though and they're sending me a replacement Samsung t319 for free. They wanted to send me another t309, but they would have charged me shipping for the t309 and I wasn't sure if the replacement t309 would have the same problem; a bunch of other people online have complained about the t309 turning itself off too.

Hopefully, the t319 will be better.

Well, the t319, according to T-mobile, uses the same battery as the t309 so at least I got an extra battery out of the experience.

This phone sucks.......2006-10-20

I do like the organizer on this phone.
However, at least 3 times a day my phone will freeze and restart while writing a text, or while in yahoo messenger. When it restarts and I'm in yahoo, it takes forever and many tries to be able to sign back in to yahoo.
If its in your pocket, the camera always takes a million pictures.
Ive also had issues with it not playing the right ringtone you assign when a specific person calls.
I'm hoping Tmobile will help me with these issues.

All smoke and mirrors.......2006-10-11

I've had this phone for a month or two now and I'm becoming more and more disappointed with it. It looks nice and has a lot of features but it has many flaws and most of the features are just poorly designed and only there to say the phone has them.

-First off it's annoying to navigate around the phone. I have to press about 8 keys to get to the calendar or any other tool.
-There are practically no settings that you can change. There are maybe 5 different color schemes and a few crappy wallpapers. I'm pretty sure all of this is just to make it so you have to buy more ones for $1.50 each.
-I bought a ringtone for it through T-Mobile's thing and I can barely hear it! I have the phone on vibrate most of the time just because I can't hear it when it rings and I miss too many calls. Another annoying thing about the ringtones is that you can't have it vibrate and ring at the same time.
-Typing on it is really annoying because they have the keyboard shortcuts all screwy. Pressing 1 repeatedly cycles through a few symbols which are poorly organized. You have to press the 1 key eleven times to get the number 1. The same goes with the 0 key, which you have to press twelve times to get a 0.
-You can't turn off the shutter sound on the camera and it plays it really loud even when the phone is on silent mode.
-It has plenty of storage space but for some reason you can only have up to 30 text messages in your inbox.
-It randomly shuts off while writing a long text message sometimes.
-It randomly saves text messages to 'drafts' even when you don't ask it to.
-You can't record something with the voice recorder and set it as a ring tone.

Overall most of the things on this phone are flawed or poorly executed. I'm disappointed with it, but hey, I got it for "free". At least it makes calls!
