Samsung SGH-t749 Highlight – T-Mobile’s Third TouchWiz Phone

T-Mobile and Samsung have recently unveiled the SGH-t749 Highlight, a compact touchscreen phone running Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface. Though not a high-end smartphone, the Highlight is packed with a full range of useful features, including a virtual QWERTY keyboard, bluetooth support, a full HTML browser, GPS and high-speed HSDPA 3G data connectivity.

Sporting a 3" 240x400-pixel TFT display, the touchscreen phone comes with a virtual QWERTY keyboard in landscape with tactile feedback. Like the Memoir and the Behold, the Highlight supports TouchWiz user interface, a proprietary Samsung operating system, which offers users smooth touch control experience. You can drag widgets onto the home screen for easy access to real-time information. Using a ‘magnifier’, you can also scroll through letters of the alphabet in your contact list quickly.

The Highlight supports 3G HSDPA on T-Mobile's 1700/2100MHz bands in the U.S. and has Quad Band GSM/EDGE, making it suitable for non-3G areas and world travel. It contains a 2000-contact phone book and is packed with other advanced features, such as speaker-independent voice dialing and commands, USB mass storage, a full HTML browser, PC syncing, an RSS reader, GPS support with turn-by-turn Telenav Navigator, and full Bluetooth with a stereo profile.

As for the multimedia features, the device is equipped with a 3-megapixel camera with smile detection. Photos can be taken in four resolutions from 2,048x1,536 pixels down to 400x240 pixels. Although it lacks a self-portrait mirror and flash, it includes video capture function with editing abilities. In addition, it is fully packed with multiple messaging options, including support for email (AOL, MSN, Yahoo and Gmail) and instant messaging, as well as text and multimedia messaging.

The internal memory is capped at 60MB, while the microSDHC card slot will accommodate cards up to 16GB for storing photos and music files. Comes in red, orange or blue grid patterns on the back, the Highlight measures at 4.2" tall by 2.1" wide by 0.5" deep and weighs 3.7 ounces. The only shortcoming is probably its single proprietary port for headphones, USB and charging, which means users cannot use their own pair of headphones.

Although the Samsung SGH-t749 Highlight does not include high-end imaging functionality like the Behold and the Memoir do, it sports an easy-to-use design and a set of functional features, making it quite a good pick if you are looking for a simple touchscreen handset.
