The Wi-Fi Cellphones from T-Mobile

Several days ago, T-Mobile announced their new cellphones, Nokia 6301 together with Samsung T339. Both of them have Wi-Fi capability, which means, they support T-Mobile HotSpot@Home service for unlimited, nationwide call through Wi-Fi networks.

Comparing both cellphones, they are just like a normal phone — except, the Wi-Fi functionality. Nokia, as usual, has the better, larger screen size resolution, and richer colors. Nokia 6301 also comes with the 2.0MP camera, while Samsung T339 got only 1.3MP.

Samsung holds a better charge on battery for continuously talk time, where it’s the only good thing I can notice. Specs-wise, Nokia 6301 is way ahead, include the zoom capability, lite-size, weight, SD Memory, also the voice dialing, recording, speaker phone, push to talk, etc.
