Cricket launches Samsung Messager Touch

Ah yes, if you're thinking this is Cricket's newest Samsung launch, you're right. The Samsung Messager Touch (or SCH-r631) is a lower-priced QWERTY slider with a 2.6-inch touchscreen display, a slide-out pad -- pictured oh so lovingly above -- a 2 megapixel camera, and availability in either black or white. The cost? 159 of your hard earned dollars. We've seen a few Messagers pop up in recent memory, but it's nice to see touchscreen added to the mix at a price that while not free, certainly shouldn't stop this from ending up on wishlists this fall.
