Samsung unleashes SGH-E950, SGH-E840, and SGH-J600
In a refreshing change of pace from Samsung's traditional black-slab design, we bring you this trio of hotness: the SGH-E950, SGH-E840, and SGH-J600 pictured above left-to-right. All are on display right now at ComnunicAsia and ready to ship in Southeast Asia before July is up. Of the three, only the E840 has a shot of making it Stateside with its quadband GSM, EDGE radios packed into the world's slimmest 10.6-mm slider. It features a 2 megapixel camera and up to 2GB of MicroSD to store your media. Nice and all but we'd love to get out hands on the tri-band GSM E950 instead. That black box on the face is actually a touch-sensitive display which fills itself with a variety of icons depending upon how the phone is being used. Interestingly, the FCC approved J600's main claim to fame is its "intense hues" of "mystical colors" like, say "dark gray" -- riiight, and dreary office cubicles are just tiny magical kingdoms for gifted marketing drones.%Gallery-4086%
Samsung announces a slew of low-end handsets at 3GSM
Looks like Samsung not only unveiled a slew of higher-end handsets and mid-tier offerings this week at 3GSM, but the company also announced a handbasket of lower-end phones as well. take a deep breath -- E590, E740, E830, E840 and P110 -- whew, that's a lot of new models, yes? Samsung -- like all cell manufacturers -- knows that you gotta feed the low end along with the high end due to market demands. Hey -- if you have to leave civilization for a while and get back to simpler times, a simpler phone may do right? Nah, we didn't think so either. But, some of those features like a 3 megapixel cam and stereo Bluetooth seem to be classified as starter features from how Samsung is positioning these units. Use the read link below to peep all these new entry-level beauties.
