Samsung SGH-T519 Trace

Samsung's Trace won't plump up your pocket, but its sound quality suffers.

Very slim. Excellent battery life. "MyFaves" works well.

Poor call volume and shaky call quality. No stereo headset included.

Samsung Trace SGH-T519 Review

Samsung Trace T519 is nice slim phone it looks good, and feels good due to its solid construction. Its display is small but looks fine with sharp and colorful images. When we add user-friendly and very fast menu, as well as microSD slot and music...

Slim profile. Solid construction ; Incredibly fast menu. Logically structured menu system ; Bright display with very saturated colors ; microSD slot for memory

Keypad is flush with weak backlight ; Can not ring and vibrate at the same time (only option for Vibrate then ring) ; There is no stereo headset in the box, neither a standard connector for headset, nor A2DP support

Samsung Trace T519 is nice small designer's phone it looks good, and feels good due to its solid construction. Its display is small but looks fine with sharp and colorful images. When we add user-friendly and very fast menu, as well as microSD slot...

Samsung SGH-T519 Trace

When Samsung's T509 arrived on the cell phone scene in the summer of 2006 it was an instant hit. Slightly thinner than Motorola's popular SLVR cell phone, the T509 definitely had appeal. So why launch the even more compact Samsung T519 Trace a few...

Samsung Trace Review

The turnover rate for cell phones is becoming faster as the competition for the thinnest, most hip and media savvy phones becomes greater. Samsung followed Motorola's lead after the release of the SLVR and RAZR by releasing the T509 in the summer of...

Given the Trace's elegant sleek frame, stylish silver / champagne color, small credit card size, and abundant organizational and phone capabilities, the Trace is the perfect choice for most anyone with a need for function with a sophisticated, fun...

Samsung Trace t519 - Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

It seems that we like our phones the same way Hollywood likes its actresses. When T-Mobile introduced the Samsung t509 candy bar phone back in May this year, we were wowed by how thin that phone was. Only half a year later, Samsung trimmed even more...

Great screen that will wow you and your friends when you use it to show photos. The Samsung has very good reception and a good set of features such as a music player, camera and Bluetooth. The built-in camera is good and the memory slot is handy for...

A bit too thin to feel comfortable in hand. The keyboard is unusable in the dark. You won’t like the location of the SIM card if you switch your SIM card between phones frequently

If you are looking for a slim candybar phone, the Samsung Trace should be on top of your list. The phone will turn heads yet is functional, as a good feature phone should be. The price isn’t bad at all for a phone with such a feature set.

Samsung SGH-T519 Trace

Can a mobile phone be too thin? Samsung deems determined to find out, as they keep pushing the envelope when it comes to building feature-rich mobiles that are as thin as possible. While the 8mm thin T-Mobile exclusive "Trace" SGH-T519 isn't...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Worked like a champ

I'm buying cheaper phones from now on. This was the second that died from my forgetfulness.

This phone had good call quality, good volume, and good picture quality for the price I bought it for (slightly higher than what it is now). Nice and thin, definitely looked good for the price. Did what I wanted it to for a good 6 months ; Continued...

Isn't totally waterproof ; The only thing that actually failed was the microphone, though... the speaker still rang, it just did nothing after a call went through

Good phone, bad CS

Phone was not new. had been opened, did not include manual or any accessories.

Good reception, sound, build quality, display. quick shipping from newegg

Camera was defective on the phone, tried to exchange first with manufacturer - samsung. I found out the warranty expired TWO YEARS ago! Only alternative was to go through the supplier. Very difficult to deal with
