Because this is what everyone was expecting, Verizon Wireless made yesterday an official announcement that didn’t come as a surprise for anyone. To be more precise, the North American provider announced the availability of the Samsung Trance that is being sold starting today (meaning April 24th).



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.



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.
