The T456 is gonna sell well at that price. There is a large market that has been asking for a (non-Data) QWERTY messaging phone for a long time.

Agreed, the A766 is horrendous.

^ +1 Propel blows, they (Samsung) should have made the Gravity HSPA.

•Send and receive email through the embedded Rogers MobileMail email application

I've never used a Samsung phone or the Rogers MobileMail application.
Do I take this to assume I can't use my personal or work email accounts on these devices? Only the built in Hotmail/Yahoo/etc accounts?

I realize I can just setup fowarding, but I don't like the idea of having the application open constantly in the background.

Just want some confirmation.

Also, are there any dumbphones from Rogers that DO let you use any email account?

[bubble.tea]

LOL....I saw this release elsewhere on the net not too long ago.

LITERALLY a MONTH too late. Have a friend who just left Rogers for Bell because she wanted a qwerty cell. ouch. (there's other reasons, but that was an important reason).

Was stuck renewing my contact , either pay to cancel two phones on family plan for 20 months left aka 800 dollars plus to cancel out.
Or try to get some deal with Rogers for some new phones.
Wifes phone was pretty much dead after 2 and a half years.
Got her a LG Pink Neon and me the Samsung t456, i tried the Neon , finding it doesn't come with a headset or any data cables , and there is non in existance that i can buy looking around , even Rogers doesn't have the cables yet.
Its too bad since i like the Neon better, However i have come to love my Samsung over the last couple days , its a bit bigger , but weighs the same as the Neon.

My only problem with these sliding phones is theres no way to lock the keyboard from sliding anytime it wants, and there loose enough to slide in the pocket.

Doesn't the Lg Neon just use teh same cables/headphones/etc slot that all the other recent LG's use? (the same way any Sony Ericsson can be used in any Sony Ericsson phone and most other brands?)

[Odanhammer]

I tried an older cable for an LG phone on my wifes Neon, it doesn't connect as theres no software for the phone yet.
Hence theres not really a data cable/ headset that works with the Neon yet.
And no the older LG headsets work as it needs a type of headset that can be used for the radio antenna.
