Samsung puts its Soul into a candy bar

Reuben Lee | May 29, 2008

The Korean electronics giant has just announced a candy-bar version of its Soul (or Spirit of Ultra) handset. Called the Soul^b, this new mobile phone measures a slim 9.9mm and is described as "fully covered in an elegant metallic body which is softly brushed with a hairline pattern".

Among its key features are a 3-megapixel camera with LED light, FM radio, 1GB onboard memory with microSD card slot, and a 2-inch QVGA display. The triband-enabled Soul^b also comes with an onboard multimedia player, document viewer/editor, Bluetooth and HSDPA support.

Available in five color variations (including Soul Grey, Platinum Silver, Metallic Black, Soul Pink and Amethyst Violet), the Soul^b is expected to be available first in Germany in early June, followed by other markets such as Europe, Middle East Africa, Asia (China), Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, and South America. Pricing will be made known closer during launch.

after the Es & the Us(ultra) Samsung is testing the market now by introducing devices with strong specs & weal aesthetics(short of being ugly), before they roll-out their phase-4 phones with market-proven functionality with merged design concepts that they hope could capture a bigger market share in the near future.
