Samsung are set to release what many believe will be the best mobile phone available today, Samsung SGH P930. |
This phone is both stylish and contains some of the most cutting edge software and functionality seen to date. The phone itself is a stylish “slider” phone which initially looks similar to some other phones on the market, but it really is a one off. The dimension of the phone are 107 mm x 49 mm x 19.7 mm weighing in at 119 grams. While not the lightest mobile on the market, how Samsung have managed to squeeze so much functionality into this phone is very impressive. The top part of the phone contains the TFT display screen which is 240 mm x 320 mm and offers a combination of 262,000 colours.

The Samsung X820 is an attempt by the Koreans to eliminate Motorola and their RAZR and SLVR which dominate the slim phones market – and that's a nice try. |
Its thickness is 0.30 inches (6.9mm) which is 4mm less than the SLVR L7 and half the thickness the legendary RAZR V3! X820 is a tri-band phone aimed at the Europe market, but is expected soon to be launched by the T-Mobile USA as the SGH-T519.
Size-wise it feels very comfortable both when held in the hand and when carried in the pocket, where it's hardly felt also thanks to its weight of only 66 grams (2.3 oz). The only inconvenience design wise is the bump on the back of the phone, which is there because of the 2-mpix camera.

The Z540V looks so much better in person than these Samsung photo portray it. |
Looking at these photo, I would immediately discount the handset as a damp squid out of its depth surrounded by sharks. Don't despair,
as my first impression of this handset is more than ok. Its elegant black design with a high quality textured surface means that it can easily hold its
own in the style league. The current trend in mobile phone design is moving towards "slim & wide" design. The "slim & wide" design concept offers
better portability with its light weight and thinness, and enriches multimedia features in a mobile environment with larger screens. This statement
typifies the Samsung Z540.

Looking for all the world like almost every other slider that Samsung have announced recently, the Samsung D870 does at least have one pretty much unique selling proposition. |
It comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera, which as far as we know is the highest resolution camera in any generally available sliding phone.
Everything else about the SGH-D870 is pretty similar to other Samsung sliders, with a 240x320 pixel display, 80Mb of memory expandable via microSD cards,
Bluetooth, multimedia playback and the rest of the features you'd expect. From the front, the D870 is pretty much the same unexciting design that we've seen
on other recent Samsung sliders.

Slider, sleek, sweet, small, Samsung SGH-T809. I have always been impressed with the slider phones because they all look futuristic to me. |
Being slightly wider than most handsets nowadays, the SGH-T809 measures 3.8 x 2.0 x 0.6 inches and weighs in at 3 ounces. However, as
the slider handset is also very slim and light, the width is duly compensated for by an all-encompassing cool and sleek design. The most apparent design
trade-off is the mediocre 5-way navigational pad, yet the numerical keypad's flat buttons fortunately interact very well indeed with the handset's user
interface. It should also be mentioned that the memory and charger slots' plastic inserts on each side
of the handset kept popping out in a most annoying manner.

Samsung has demonstrated various handsets, armed with high resolution cameras numerous times, though not a one out of them made it to the European market. |
And one of the first mass products in this very line-up is Samsung Z710, equipper with a 3.2 Mpix camera module, powered by CCD matrix.
Model Samsung Z710 is a clamshell with rotary exterior part – once you've opened the device and turned one of the halves, the handset obtains highest possible
resemblance to a digital camera. Camera mode is switched on simultaneously with the abovementioned manipulations. In order to start shooting, you have to open
the shutter, though it's not an easy task since the latch is rather tight and small in size.

Samsung's SGH-Z550 packs a two megapixel camera and 138MB embedded memory with an external memory slot in a slim case. |
Another addition to the expanding range of Z-series 3G phones from Samsung, the SGH-Z550 slider comes with an SVGA
240x320 pixel TFT display in 262,000 colours, a 2 megapixel digital camera, Bluetooth, a multimedia player, 138Mb of internal memory
with microSD expansion and stereo speakers. In addtion to UMTS 2100 3G, the Samsung Z550 supports EDGE. It's a lightweight 3G phone
at 95 grams, but there's really nothing much to distinguish this from other similar handsets in the Samsung range.

The new SGH-P900 delivers an unprecedented vivid mobile TV experience, just in time for the 2006 FIFA World Cup |
The SGH-P900 (pictured) is an unusual looking phone that is slightly reminiscent of the Samsung Z130, with an unusual rotating display. However, the display on the SGH-P900 is designed for digital TV rather than video calling.
The TV technology in the SGH-P900 uses the T-DMB ("Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting") system, which is a technology based on DAB digital terrestrial radio. This is a quite different system to the one used by Nokia in the N92,
which is the DVB-H based on the DVB-T "Freeview" standard.
Sony Ericsson are also committed to DVB-H.
