Samsung F300 to debut in five colors mid-May

Samsung has finally given its much-awaited music-phone, the Ultra Music F300, a mid-May launch date.

First announced at last year's ITU Telecom World 2006 in Hong Kong, the F300 caught our attention with its unique dual-display candy-bar design that sports a phone face on one side and an MP3 player on the other side. It will retail for S$698 (US$497.33) without contract and S$598 (US$426.08) with a two-year mobile plan.

Showcased for the first time in Singapore at the recent Samsung Fun Club 4th Anniversary party, the F300 will be offered in five colors red, orange, white, blue as well as the original black. Like the Samsung SGH-P310 card-sized phone, the F300 will be bundled with a leather phone holder that doubles as second battery for longer usage. Other noteworthy features on this triband music-phone are a 2-megapixel camera, touchscreen MP3 interface, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth and a microSD card slot.

Also on display at the media event was a matching Bluetooth stereo speaker which comes with onboard playback controls. Although no further details were available on this interesting accessory, its onboard microphone seems to suggest that it can double as a speakerphone, too. A built-in stand also allows users to keep the F300 standing upright for easy viewing of the display. Click here for more details of the F300.
