The T-Mobile Tap is one of the first truly budget-priced touch screen phones on the U.S. market. It looks like one of Samsung's phones, but it's actually manufactured by Huawei, a Chinese company. The Tap offers a well-laid out interface, Web browsing and messaging apps, GPS, and a 2-megapixel camera at a bargain price of $79.99 with a two-year contract, or $179.99 with T-Mobile's money-saving Even More Plus plan (which removes the device subsidy, but costs up to $240 less over two years). Sadly, the Tap cuts too many corners, and there are too many better options for T-Mobile subscribers.
