Samsung's Ultra Edition II series loosed at 3GSM: U300, U600, U100, and U700
What better way to kick off 3GSM than with a shotgun blast of second generation Samsung Ultra Editions. Don't worry, it won't hurt... much, these are Ultra IIs which means they're ultra slim. All the phones start with tri-band GSM, Bluetooth, and that new 3 megapixel shooter we've been expecting. The thinster of the bunch is of course the "world's thinnest" 5.9-mm U100 candybar we've already seen. Next up is 9.6-mm U300 clamshell which packs a 2.2-inch, 240 x 320 TFT internal display (98 x 16 OLED external) and 70MB of on-board storage. Bumping things up by a millimeter comes what Samsung calls the "crown jewel" of the pack, the 10.9-mm U600 slider (pictured second from the left). It ships in sapphire blue, garnet red, platinum metal and copper gold. Get it, "crown jewel!" Uh hem. The U600 comes brandishing a fourth band, a 3.1 megapixel camera, 2.2-inch 240 x 320 TFT display, Bluetooth 2.0, and 60MB of on-board storage with microSD expansion. Last up is the 12.1-mm U700 3G slider (far right) whose biggest claim to fame is 3.6Mbps HSDPA data and microSD expansion. All are expected to hit Europe before March with some hope of that quad-band U600 coming Stateside.

850Mhz? for Cingular?
When is it coming to the U.S.?
Is it only the U600 and will it have the 3.6mb hsdpa like the v3xx using an affordable $19.99 media max data package. What kind of browser? Opera Mobile 8?

Does the u600 really have a 240x420 display, or is that just a typo....seems like a weird aspect ratio, but hey, I'll take whatever resolution I can get.

Wah!? Did they run out of Hot Korean Models?

Just for the record... girls smiles are way better than communication devices.

I really cant be bothered with these, not after seeing the Ultra Smart F700. Doesn't help that the chicks are much hotter than the phones, either... not such a good idea here...

I don't know if this is truly worth updgrading. Already have a Ultra Edition 9.9 (D830). The loss if .4mm and gaining an extra Megapixel hardly seems worth what I'm sure will be a massive premium. However, can one of you get hands on that clamshell and tell me if Samsung is finally busting out with metal casings as opposed to the (surprisingly durable, granted) "fiber reinforced plastic composite" of the D830?
