S amsung Telecommunications America announces the availability of the Samsung Blast. The Samsung SGH-T729 Blast is a fierce-looking crimson and black slider phone that conceals an enhanced keypad for easy text entry, so staying connected via text messages, instant messages and e-mails is simple. Available exclusively from T-Mobile USA, the Samsung SGH-T729 Blast - Samsung's first U.S. slider phone to feature a QWERTY keypad - provides ample space to let fingers move at a faster pace, making typing more intuitive, with greater control over the letters and words being entered.

In addition, the Samsung SGH-T729 Blast is the first T-Mobile phone to provide direct access to personal e-mail, including AOL email, Yahoo! Mail and Gmail, making it easy to check messages anytime of the day. For added convenience, e-mail messages on the Blast can be read and responded to for the same pricing as text and picture messages - meaning there's no required data package to purchase.
