who cares about the iphone? i don't. crappy tech with a ridicolous pricetag (at least here in germany)]]>Dec 6th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/
1.The nice rounded corners with a shiny metal beveled side.
2.The slick black letterbox effect above and below the screen (and not doing the pinstripe texture that Samsung did with the F700. And the Prada seemed to have its Boundries around the screen, not integrated into a single surface as this one does.)
3.Having the screen use all of the horizontal real estate and not having any padding as they did on both the F700 and the Prada.

Does this mean its not a nice phone? No, I think it looks great. But stop drinking the Anti-Apple cool-aid. Look at this and then look at the iPhone and then look at this. Id like to see what the GUI of this lil guy.. it looks promising.]]>Dec 7th 2007 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Dec 6th 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Dec 6th 2007 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/
I just hope this doesn't completely break after only a year of normal use like my last Samsung slider.]]>Dec 6th 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/But combining a music player into a phone makes perfect sense...there's no reason why it can't be as good a music player as a dedicated device.]]>Dec 6th 2007 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/
But anyway, why should such a basic phone cost so much?]]>Dec 6th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/
I you wouldn't use any of the feature (which is weird), then go ahead and buy an outdated phone that only calls and send sms. Most people would want to have these features with them all the time. Of course, it's better to have a dedicated device, but having a decent camera and/or MP3 player in your phone isn't stupid at all.

Besides, I doubt that this phone is even that dedicated to the two features... though I admit it looks so damn nice.]]>Dec 7th 2007 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Dec 6th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Just an observation, i'm not pro-Apple, i'm no fanboy, i had an iPhone but someone stole it, so is it ok not to low-rank me?]]>Dec 6th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/And people like to low-rank absurd comments.]]>Dec 6th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Dec 6th 2007 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/
I don't even remember seeing that phone before anyways.]]>Dec 6th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/
Btw, That wasn't a dream :).]]>Dec 6th 2007 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Dec 6th 2007 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/Dec 6th 2007 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/only beef i have with it is the price. take $100 off that price and we'll talk, Samsung. ]]>Dec 7th 2007 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/samsungs-f250-slider-gets-introduced/That's what I picked up (I was looking for the same thing as you, a basic and stylish phone):
