The Samsung T509 was covered by BigBerries just under a month ago during CTIA 2006. We said the T509 would be available the first week of May and ba da bing, it is. T-Mobile is really making this phone a steal too. Suggested retail is $199.99 but there’s a $100.00 (US) instant discount and a $50.00 (US) mail-in as well. That drops the price of the Samsung T509 to $49.99.

Being thin is the highlight of the phone, if Samsung had crammed a memory card in there along with a better display and camera the T509 would have really been cooking. However, as an entry level handset the T509 has a lot of features for a phone under $50 bucks.
