Samsung Star II: like the original, but with more social networking
Following up the old Star from back in 2009, Samsung's revised model -- named Star II, of course -- carries over the same 3-inch WQVGA display and 3.2 megapixel camera but adds in a healthy dose of TouchWiz 3.0 along with tweaked social networking features (because, you know, that's what all the kiddies are using these days). T9 Trace comes preinstalled -- kind of a strange move, actually, considering that Samsung has OEM deals in place with Swype -- along with Facebook, Twitter, and an IM client that supports Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, AIM, and Facebook chat. Owners of the Star will probably appreciate the Star II's refined, more squared-off looks, but may lament the fact that you still don't have any 3G here -- if you want high-speed data, you'll be relying on the 802.11b / g / n radio. Look for it in Germany next month followed by other parts of Europe, Russia, South America, India, and the Middle East; follow the break for the full press release.
