Samsung's new UMTS S60 flip, the SGH-Z600

There's a new S60 phone from Samsung over at 3GSM, and this one is really packing the radios, working with quad-band GSM and the 2100 MHz UMTS. The phone also sports dual cameras, a VGA in the front and a 2 megapixel shooter in the rear, along with a microSD memory slot to augment the included 70MB of storage. Thanks to Symbian 8.1 the phone includes plenty of music codec support, and there is Bluetooth in tow as well to round out the feature set. It does look a tad on the large side for flip phones, but with what Samsung has crammed inside we really can't fault it there. Be sure to check the read link for some action shots of the device.

Oh, the joy of vaporware :-(

Show me one Samsung S60 phone actually selling in any phone shop or being offered with any provider in the western world and I get you a free double mocca at the nearest Starbucks ripoff.

Loosk nice.
The z500 was a cracking phone, and with this upgrade they're set to make their Z-series an excellent brand.

Series 60 you say? order me one of those!
