Samsung F700     At first sight, Samsung F700 raises the question: Is it an iPhone? No, it isn`t, but it is a 3G phone with a QWERTY keyboard instead. The price is way smaller than iPhone`s price amd if you decide to purchase it with Vodafone contract F700 is a real bargain. (more…)

After a few minutes of hands-on time with both the new Samsung GX-20 and its technological counterpart, the Pentax K20D, it was surprising to see not how much the two devices have in common, but how much they differ. Previous Samsung DSLRs have been, for the most part, straight-up Pentax rebrands, but with Samsung looking to assert itself more dominantly in the digital camera market – they've made known their intention to become the number three player in digital cameras, an outrageously aggressive goal in the current environment – the GX-20 provides a somewhat different shooting experience from that of the K20D. Visually, the two cameras remain quite similar, with the Samsung sporting a slightly smaller, slightly more rounded body all around. Most of the substantive differences, however, are focused on the user interface, where Samsung's expertise in consumer electronics generally benefits the GX-20.

Samsung and O2 are launching a new mobile phone called Solid. The latest phone is water and dust resistant. Also it includes anti-shock capability and will come with a rubber body, which will protect the phone against fall. Samsung claims that the phone will survive even in water splashes and from occasional knocks or drops. Hence the handset is useful for the athletes, tradesmen and other rough users. Samsung Solid Mobile PhoneTalking about its functions, the Solid is equipped with a built-in FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, camera and a long life battery. The phone also has SOS dialing function that sends a text message to the chosen contact if the volume button is pressed thrice in quick succession. Once this alert is sent, the next call that comes is automatically answered. A built-in flash light, WAP 2.0, SMS/MMS, Java, Mobile Tracker, GRPS Dual Band (900/1800Mhz) and VGA Camera are some of the other features of Samsung’s Solid mobile phone. Samsung’s Solid is available via O

DesignThe most notable thing about the E590's design is its simplicity. There are no glossy surfaces. There are no touch-sensitive keys. There is no floral embossing. This lack of festive flair doesn't make for a boring phone though -- the phone has a clean, utilitarian design, but then so does a little player called the iPod.The candy bar E590 comes in black or white, and at 66 grams almost floats on the palm. Grasping it in your hand, you feel like a giant meddling with the mobile of a standard human -- the footprint is about the same as a second-gen iPod nano.A 220 x 220-pixel, 262k colour display sits atop a grid of refreshingly normal number keys and navigation buttons. All are the same shape -- think the cross-section of a Tic Tac. A stubby joystick handles the on-screen menu movement.On the back of the phone is a 3-megapixel camera in a solid cylindrical housing that protrudes from the main casing. There is no lens cover, and the cam is in just the right place to get in the wa

REVIEW: 30 January 2008 - Samsung’s entry in to the D-SLR marketplace came by rebadging Pentax D-SLRs and allows the company to build a corner in the market from which it can attempt to expand its market share. Samsung threw money at building its compact model market share and it has worked and Samsung assured us that it will develop its “own” D-SLRs in the near future and already the GX10’s update, the imaginatively named GX20 has been announced.So, it is not before time that the GX10 arrived on my desk and on the face of it, the camera is identical to the Pentax K10D on which it is based. Advantages are the camera has a massive lens range to adopt with an even bigger installed lens base as all KA and KAF2 optics can be used.Build is tough with key camera seals proofed against ingress of dirt and moisture including the SDHC external storage port on the camera’s right side. The 10.2-megapixel sensor boasts a sensor cleaning system that unfortunately clearly does not work prop

Samsung announced that its 5 Megapixel G600 phone will be available in the UK in a new pink version, obviously preparing the handset for the Valentine's Day frenzy. So we have yet another Samsungphone for girls, after the recently announced Samsung L310 and Samsung L320 or the older models that we lost track of. What the pink version of G600 brings new is the fact that it is UK's first mobile phone with a 5 Megapixel camera that gets dressed in this color.As I'm not a girl nor a boy that enjoys pink too much, I don't find the new look of G600 too appealing, but I'm sure others will. Besides, the girly cover hides the same specs that the original phone does, which means it's the same high-end device that won the "Phone of the Year" title in 2007.Samsung G600 measures 101 x 47.8 x 14.9 millimeters, weighs 104 grams and offers a 2.2 inch, 240 x 320 pixels TFT display.
