As revealed earlier in the month by the Boy Genius Report, Samsung’s Beat has popped up in the company’s US press RSS feed… But the story links off to a ‘page not found’.
The Beat (or SGH-T539 to use its full ID code), will initially be released for T-Mobile in the States. The only line of text in the PR feed is that you should ‘Enjoy listening to your favorite tunes, surfing the web or messaging with the Samsung Beat. Easy to use it packs the necessary features to make your day a little more enjoyable.’
We’ve no more specs than that right now — other than the BGR’s claim that the Beat will have a 1.3MP camera. But with a name like ‘Beat’ we’re guessing there’ll be a microSD slot and a focus on music playback — or someone in Samsung’s US marketing department should be fired.
Update: hit the jump for the official list of specs now the Beat’s been announced.
