Samsung intros twelve (yes, twelve) phones at IFA
IFA typically isn't considered the strongest show in the mobile world, which Samsung apparently saw as an opportunity to grab just a little more spotlight than it'd normally have. Okay, maybe "a little more spotlight" is an understatement, seeing how it trotted out no fewer than a dozen handsets at the show -- and granted, none of them are groundbreaking taken alone, but the collective ends up making for a mighty showing. Highlights include the S7330 slider, featuring a Soul-like display in the d-pad; the rumored D980 DUOS which adds an extra SIM slot to the F480's design language; the music-centric M3510 Beat; and this here beast of a phone, the B2700, looking like it's more than ready to take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Overall, we would've liked to have seen a little more high-end fare in the mix, but we'll take it.
Samsung S7330 moves Soul train a bit downmarket
If you dig the slider form factor and the trick OLED d-pad, you've got no need for a super high-res cam, and you're alright with download speeds that are merely blazingly fast (as opposed to super crazy blazin' fast), look no further than Samsung's modest update to the Soul. The new model, dubbed S7330 according to Mobilmania, looks to carry over most of the original model's headlining features while knocking the photographic prowess down a notch from 5 to 3.2 megapixels and dropping peak HSDPA speeds from 7.2 to 3.6Mbps. In return, though, you score an updated user interface and pick up GSM 850, so it's not all bad. Rumor has it it'll run for about 8,000 Czech crowns ($500) later this year.[Via Unwired View]
