As of 10PM Eastern there's no graphic for those models on the Trac site and they don't appear (for me) at the Net10 site. Good ol' Trac/Net website webmastering.

I wonder if it is like the T-Mobile Samsung T349, a keyboard phone? I would definitely like that on their lineup!!Originally Posted by dragons1

FYI, I went through the FCC documents for the Samsung T349 just now and it looks like there is a hush order on all of their pictures and manual for another 4 months. There is also a permanent hush order for the diagram, schematics, and description. I guess Tracfone or Samsung is getting smart, LOL!
Check it out: https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/eas/GetApp...tml?id=1374751
I will try to look for the LG phones.
Edit: I forgot to add that it is definitely a bluetooth!

Ok guys, I looked up the LG phones and the same thing came up, bluetooth and hush orders. The LG500G has a hush order until next month, so we can probably see a launch by then. The LG800G and the Samsung T349 will probably launch a couple of months afterwards, this is just a guess.
Since I have no idea what the LG phones will look like, they could be the Swift or the Venus (I HIGHLY doubt the Venus), and the Samsung model # is very close to the T-Mobile phone (T340), I think i will wait for the T349.
I hope this has helped!
Update: The LG 800 is a discontinued phone known as the LG Chocolate. A nice slider but no qwerty.

The LG 800 phone you are refering to is a CDMA phone that was available in Canada. The one on Tracfone's page is a GSM phone.

I can tell you that the T~Mobile Samsung t349 is an absolutely great phone.
I also have the Sammy T401g on Net10 and it is almost exactly the Samsung Gravity which is a T~Mobile phone, and it's a great phone too. Everything works on it, Bluetooth and the camera is great, sound quality during calls and the music player is pretty good as well.
Where I live I have absolutely no problem with signal strength on T~Mobile and never drop calls and the call quality is great on these phones, for me that is, I know some Tracfone users do not get as good service on the T~Mobile SIM card phones.
If Tracfone is going to do that, it is a great addition to their lineup and it's 20 key partial QWERTY keyboard is really good, should almost satisfy the ones who want a QWERTY keyboard on Tracfone.
The 20 key partial keyboard didn't take me too long to get the hang of.
Camera is great and Bluetooth is not castrated.
Everything works great on this phone too.
Should be interesting to see Tracfones version.
The t401g on Net10 is all black and the T~Mobile Gravity versions are quite colorful.
I have the Pearl White and Aqua one.
Same with T~Mobiles Sammy t349, a strange but not too awful color*.
Tracfone will probably go with plain glossy black like the t401g for Net10.
*It doesn't look nearly as bad in person as it does online.
After I heard about AT&T giving up.

i'm confused a hush order on new phones.Sounds like someone needs to do a foia request.
My screen is bigger than yours
A 'hush order' as it was put, on information required from the manufacturers by the FCC is common.
All a manufacturer has to do is supply a letter of confidentiality citing that the supplied information might harm their business if it were released.
In regarding a freedom of information request...Well...There are ways of getting around that....
See section 522 (b)(4):

Now, if you really want to know how it works, down to he component level, one can consult a reverse engineering firm.
That's what I do...The reverse engineering part. We deal with the manufacturers that don't wanna give up their secrets all the time!

I wish they could get some new and interesting phones seems like most of their new ones are just their old ones warmed over.
trying to come up with better signature.......

Looks like the LG800G is a touchscreen phone. I found the following while searching Google:
It talks about pressing icons on the screen, not pressing keys.

Well, the 800G is for sure a touch screen phone, and the 500G is a full QWERTY phone.

The LG800G looks just like these three phones on gsmarena.com:
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_cookie_wifi_t310i-3684.php (has wifi)
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_cookie_style_t310-3458.php (no wifi)
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_wink_style_t310-3411.php (has wifi)
Probably too much to hope for to get a phone with wifi.
