We were in awe of the super-sleek look of the thinnest candy bar in the U.S. in our review, but in the wake of the SGH-T519 Trace release, Samsung freshened up the T509 with a new plum hue; voilá the T509s "Plum" was born. The slim handset still comes with the same features as the original T509, including Bluetooth, EDGE support, a VGA camera, a speakerphone, instant messaging, and a striking two-inch 65,000 color display. The fashionable phone is also part of T-Mobile's new myFaves program.
