Samsung YP-T9 details surface

OK, so maybe the details about Samsung's sleek T9 MP3 player were already available to our , but I waited patiently to get the official product fact sheet from my U.S. contact so that I'd have accurate info for a stateside version of the device. Good thing that I did, too, because as it turns out the T9 that'll go on sale in the United States doesn't have the most touted feature: built-in Bluetooth capability. (Someone remind me again why Asia gets all the cool stuff?) Well, maybe I'm more than a touch disappointed, but the T9 still looks like a promising device. The slick black player features a cell phone-like design, much like its predecessor, the YP-D1, but it's slimmer and sleeker, measuring 1.7 by 3.3 by 0.4 inches. I'm also liking the player's graphical navigation icons (as with the K5) and adjustable menu colors--you can select from blue, green, purple, pink, and orange. What can I say? I'm a sucker for colorful lights.
