Samsung intros the snoozefest J800 Luxe and L700 cellphones

It looks like the folks at Samsung are keeping the fires burning with a batch of new handsets announced at the Singapore Telecommunications Exhibition. First on the block is the 3G, J800 Luxe slider, a mid-range phone with a 2.2-inch 176 x 200 display, two megapixel camera, FM tuner, A2DP support, and a slot for microSD cards. The electronics-maker is also offering the L700, a fairly unexciting candybar with a 2.1-inch screen, HSDPA, a choice of colors (pink, silver, and gold), and pretty much all the other features listed for the previous phone. The most interesting offering from this set is the Symbian-based L870 that we've seen previously, which the company claims is still on target for its August release. No word on pricing or release dates for the two new models, however.

Seems like a nice looking phone with some decent features. Why is it a snoozefest?

[Rig @ Jun 26th 2008 10:16AM]

Because it's not an iPhone.

If this is a "snooze fest" why are you writing about it?

Don't you know? "Exciting", "Ground breaking", "Breathtaking" and "Revolutionary" have been trademarked and earmarked for products bearing the fruit logo and Apple name on them.

On the other hand, "Snoozefest", "Yawnfest", "borefest" and the like are the adjectives reserved for any non-Apple product.

PS: And I end this with the worn down cliche that has become Engadget's tagline "Last we heard at least one person got his [insert a random peripheral name] working in Vista. [Look at the Apple ads plastered all over our site ! Please click them !]

The blogosphere [especially Engadget] has become so predictable.
