The device can be purchased from Verizon Wireless, and the announcement comes after the introduction of another Samsung handset in the Verizon line of products, the Samsung Trance. According to Verizon, the Smooth “appeals to tweens, teens and parents alike”. And it might be true, because as you’ll be seeing shortly, it doesn’t come equipped with ground-breaking features, even if you can find the GPS technology and the VZ Navigator on board.

We told you about this Samsung cell phone a couple of weeks ago, when the guys over BGR had an information concerning the availability of the Trance. And it seems that the information was more than reliable, even if some of us preferred to wait for the official thing.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

As you probably remember, the Trance was presented by the provider as a “high-powered music phone” which is a consequence of the fact that it comes with the Bang & Olufsen ICEpower amp. And, as some of you know, this is designed to help the user enjoy a better audio quality.

As for the features, to refresh your memory a little bit, the phone comes with a 2.1 inch TFT display with 262k colors (the resolution is of 176 x 220 pixels), 1.3 megapixel camera, a navigation pad that is touch-sensitive, stereo Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headset jack, an internal memory of 1GB and a microSDHC card slot of no more than 16GB.

It measures approximately 4.0 x 1.97 x 0.55 inches and weighs 3.53 ounces, while the battery provides no more than 270 minutes of talk time and up to 300 hours of stand-by time.

Available in two color versions, Electric Red and Piano Black, the Samsung Trance will cost you no more than $49.99 if you’re willing to sign a two year contract agreement. This way you will get a $50 mail-in rebate.

In the given context, the new Samsung Trance U490 seems to be just what the doctor ordered, because it’s not only fashionable, but also very cheap. Maybe it’s ridiculous to compare the two handsets we brought in discussion, but if what you are looking for is an affordable device, that is cool as far as the design is concerned, then you don’t have to think this twice. The Samsung Trance is perfect for you.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

This is a mid-end cell phone, a music centric one, that comes with the following features on board: a 2.1 inch display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, a 1.3 megapixel camera, the Bang & Olufsen ICEpower audio technology, Web browser, Email, Bluetooth connectivity, 3.5mm headset jack, the VZ Navigator service, an internal memory of 1GB (which is quite impressive) and a microSD card slot for expandable memory of no more than 16GB.

The guys over BGR said that the phone will come with cheap phone plans, as it will become available via Verizon Wireless starting April 24th and it will be sold for only $49.99, after a $50 mail-in rebate. But you’ll have to be willing to sign a 2 year contract agreement. On the other hand, if you don’t want to do this, you can have it for $219.99.

It’s kind of weird, because this is one feature that is characteristic to all modern smartphones that are available these days. But, great news, guys! It seems that the next generation of the BlackBerry Storm will come with what you’ve all been waiting for: the Wi-Fi.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Unfortunately, this isn’t official, as the information comes from the guys over SlashGear, who said that “a source very close to the issue” made the confirmation of the fact that the American carrier has spectacular plans when it comes to some BlackBerry Storm updates. In other words, Verizon is preparing the second generation of the phone which is said to be brought in the spotlight later this year, in September to be more precise.

The same source added that Wi-Fi won’t be the only new feature to come on the board of the Storm 2, as the smartphone will also be equipped with other advanced features that weren’t unveiled. For the moment, the only thing we can do is to just wait, patiently, and see whether these are nothing but rumors.
