Off to the left is the Samsung F480, which is basically their old Armani phone but without the Armani branding. This will hopefully bring the price point on the iPhone-like handset down to a more reasonable level. Critical specs include the 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, Croix OS with tactile feedback, 3G connectivity, FM radio, and a 5 megapixel camera. This should ship in April or May for about $550.
In the center is perhaps the most exciting of the bunch. The Samsung Dual Touch Chic G400 is a flip phone wherein both the external and internal displays happen to be touchscreens. I can’t say for sure, but this certainly sounds like an industry first. Other goodies include an all-metal shell, 5 megapixel camera, FM radio, 100MB memory, and microSD expansion. The touchtastic goodness will sell for about $435 when it ships in May.
Last but not least is the Samsung F400 B&O slider. Like the Nokia N95, this is a two-way slider. Open it the conventional way and you get a keypad, but slide it the other way and you don’t get multimedia controls. Instead, a pair of Bang and Olufsen stereo speakers are revealed for your music-sharing pleasure. This 3G phone also boasts RDS-enabled FM radio and microSD expansion. Look for it in late March for about $550.
