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's 3 megapixel E950 slider
Seems like manufacturers are in a bit of a rut with cam resolutions on their mainstream models as of late -- unless you're spending the big bucks, a 2 megapixel sensor is the name of the game. Samsung's bucking that trend a little bit here with its new E950 slider, the supposed followup to the E900 that took Europe by storm last year. At 15.5mm, the new model's a bit thinner -- but besides that, the re-upped cam, and a dedicated Yahoo! Search key (a la Softbank), specs are basically the same as the outgoing model. No details on exactly when it'll be in widespread circulation, but look for it to run about $520 unlocked.[Via Unwired View]
