The Samsung Comment for Cricket Wireless Samsung

Today, Cricket announced the immediate availability of the Samsung Comment, a QWERTY-equipped handset for messaging fiends.

The device features a 2.4-inch QVGA display, a 1.3-megapixel camera, threaded text messaging, and stereo Bluetooth. In addition, the Comment also has a mobile Web browser, an MP3 player, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and comes preloaded with several carrier services, including Cricket Navigator and MyBackup.

The Samsung Comment costs $89.99, but Cricket does not require you to sign a contract. Plans start at $35 for unlimited talk and text and go up to $45 for unlimited talk, text (domestic and international), picture messages, Web browsing, 411 information, and navigation.
