Shiny at 3GSM: The best of the new Samsung phones
One of the best, although some cynical bloggers would also say one of the worst, things about Samsung is they always launch so many phones. 3GSM has been no different with around a dozen or so new handsets taking their bow. The downside of this is that some times some phones get lost in the rush. So to keep things simple here's a quick trawl through the best of the new Samsung breed, along with our comments and, when appropriate, links to videos.
Samsung F700 - In our books this the one to watch for. Samsung has delivered a large touch screen phone (it has a 2.78 inch display) with its own pull out QWERTY keypad for when you need to do some proper work. Other than its screen it has very impressive looking five mega pixel camera, complete with auto focus, a decent looking web browser and the souped up version of HSDPA which in theory can run up to seven Mbps.
Shiny at 3GSM: Samsung's F700 Smartphone
Remember that Samsung F700 smartphone we mentioned last week, with the slide-out qwerty keyboard and 5-megapixel camera? Well, Ashley is a lucky little sod, as he's got within inches of one over in Barcelona for 3GSM. That's right, he got within breathing space of the F700. Try not to fall off your chair next time, readers. .
