Part-time modeling with the T-Mobile Concord (pictures)

Though it doesn't flaunt high-tech specs, the T-Mobile Concord has all the essential midrange features for the inexpensive price of $100 and was designed for first-time smartphone users -- if that's what you're into, that is.

The T-Mobile Concord is available at Target and Walmart and does not require any carrier contract.

Unfortunately, the Concord ships natively with the dated Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Above the Concord are a 3.5mm headphone jack and a sleep/power button.

The T-Mobile Concord sports a unique, dark-blue back plate reminiscent of wood grain.

The Concord measures 4.59 inches tall, 2.43 inches wide, and 0.45 inch thick. It's also lightweight at 4.48 ounces, but feels hefty and dense in the hand.
