Samsung Dart SGH-T499 (T-Mobile)

The Samsung Dart's feature set would have been fine two years ago, but now there's virtually no reason to choose it over other phones in T-Mobile's lineup—even free ones.

 

Front

The Samsung Dart SGH-T499 measures 4.1 by 2.4 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.8 ounces. 

Back

The Dart's 3-megapixel camera has no flash or auto-focus. Test photos were a disappointment, with considerable graininess even in well-lit interior rooms, and overexposed outdoor shots with blown out highlights and just average detail resolution. 

Right

The Dart is made entirely of plastic, with a matte dark grey underbody and a black front panel. 

Angle

The Dart's 3.1-inch plastic capacitive touch screen sports just 240-by-320-pixel resolution. That breaks many third-party Android apps and makes it tougher to navigate Android’s various scrolling menu panels.
