Samsung announced its new simple QWERTY phone, the Messager SCH-R450. It is the successor of the R410 and has similar form-factor, improved features and larger dimensions. It is side-sliding, revealing the full hardware keyboard. On its front are a 2.1” 176x220 pixels display and a numeric keypad. Messager is designed as an easy to use phone for text messages, email and instant messengers. It features 1.3-megapixel camera (the R410 had 0.3MP one), Stereo Bluetooth and headset jack, microSD slot for memory and support for CDMA AWS band. MetroPCS is the first carrier to offer it, at $199, but Cricket will follow, judging by the Cricket manual Samsung has on its site.
