Will Samsung t509s be out of stock forever?

Hi, forum-mates,

I am in the market to upgrade my T-mobile phone. The Samsung t509s seemed pretty decent, but it's now out of stock, per the T-Mobile rep. Does anyone know if this is temporary, how long the shortage will last, or should I just get another phone?

If you have suggestions for another decent but basic, fairly inexpensive, T-Mobile phone with a camera, I'm all ears. I tried the Samsung t619, since it got good reviews, but I found the casing to be rather flimsy. I have a grandfather Samsung s105 that is made of armor compared to the t619.

I'd appreciate the input. Thanks in advance!

I don't imagine it coming back, it was removed from our upgrade program with a "To be determined" on the reinstate date. Then that happens, it is the norm that it never comes back.
