Not sure what to make of this, but if you go to the coverage viwer of TracFone's site, 3 Samsung phones appear (no pics, though). The T101G, T201G, and the T301G. Obviously they are GSM phones. Will be interesting to see what they look like...

Net10 will also be getting at least 1 of the three Samsung phones listed on Trac's coverage map. This was found on the FAQ page... Been unable to find out anything. |

Looks like they've been passed by the FCC, but I don't see any pictures. Will keep looking... |

* Sweeper .... thanks for the Info .... I knew it was just a matter of time before New Phones starting popping up. * Hmmmm .... all 3 phones are Samsung? .... that's kind of strange. * Hope they come out with at least one or two more phones as well that aren't Samsung. * I am hoping Tracfone would put out the (GSM) Motorola w380 - since it's discontinued... * It's the same phone as the Moto w376/377 but with an outside display window - it looks like the Moto w385. * Anyways, here are my predictions on these three Samsung Phones: > Samsung 101g - a basic candy bar phone. > Samsung 201g - a basic flip phone. > Samsung 301g - a slider phone. * So what do you all think? .... am I right or am I right? .... of course I'm right .... I am the Turk..(lol)..  Turk 401g

According to the Tracfone Bluetoth FAQ section, the T301g will in fact have bluetooth. Hopefully it will not be crippled like Moto's W376g. Maybe it will be a slider, Turk. That would be nice. And a camera too? |

BK7725, the LG 600g actually has non-crippled Bluetooth. Relaly, it's not so much about crippling; low-end Bluetooth only has support for handsfree and headset profiles, rather than having the ability to push actual data (or stereo audio) over the Bluetooth link. |

Oops, I think i worded that badly. I meant that the W376g was the crippled one. Sorry. |

Understood as first stated. Just letting you know that there's a Tracfone with fully functional Bluetooth. |

* BK7725 .... First of all, Hi and welcome to the Forums! * Ya, that would be cool if that phone ended up being a Slider Phone. * If Net10 can put out a Slider Phone on their side, I don't see why Tracfone wouldn't do the same? * I'm sure at least one of these New Phones will have: Bluetooth - DMFL - and a Camera. * Hopefully full Bluetooth - DMFL - and a 1.3MP Camera!? .... oh well, time will tell.. Turk 501g

First, thanks for the welcome! I have read the forums for over a few months, but never created an account. I have ave also contributed to HowardForums under the same screenname. OK, back to the phones. I thing the T101g will just be a basic candybar style phone, like the Moto 175. T201g i think will be a no frills flip phone, with no external icons. And the T301g will probably be up there with the 376g and LG600g as the "top of the line" phone, as a flip with an external screen, bluetooth, and a camera (hopefully more than a megapixel) or as a slider phone, similar to the one rumored for Net 10. And DMFL too is a must. |

I can confirm, from the FCC, docs, that the T301g at least has Bluetooth. Didn't look too closely at the others though. Will do so later... |

* Ok, I was on Tracfone/Net10's Websites tonight just looking around... * And I see on their Activation Pages they have the 3 New Samsung Phones already listed. * Here are the Links below from both Websites: http://direct.tracfone.com/pu_brand_select.jsp?clearInit=Y http://direct.net10.com/pu_brand_select.jsp?clearInit=Y * Well, it looks like I was right about these 3 New Phones - I said they would be: > Samsung 101g - basic Candy bar Phone. > Samsung 201g - basic Flip Phone. > Samsung 301g - Slider Phone. * And they ended up being exactly what I said they'd be - go figure - what are the odds!? (lol).. Samsung Turk
