Samsung has announced the launch of a new handset in the US called the Samsung Highlight that will be available exclusively on T-Mobile.

Like the company's recently announced myTouch 3G handset, the new Samsung model will opt for a full touchscreen (1.61 x 2.64 inches, 240 x 400 pixels, 262k TFT) interface over a QWERTY keyboard or heavy button focus.

Running Samsung's TouchWhiz UI, the phone will offer 3G connectivity, GPS and a 3-megapixel camera with video capture.

Lacking Wi-Fi, it will offer the standard array of music player, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD slot for up to 16 GB of removable memory.

The Samsung Highlight is available for $149.99 with a 2-year service agreement and qualifying data plan.
