Two more anorexic phones are heading to the T-Mob, as the FCC has just cleared them for departure. The Samsung T629 is a slider with a microSD slot and 70MB of internal storage. It has a 2-megapixel camera and probably won’t have TV-out capabilities like the Samsung D840 it’s based off of, seeing as…
