Samsung unveils new Ultra Smart F700

Reuben Lee | Feb 08, 2007

With the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona happening in less than a week, Samsung is clearly looking to get an early start on things with the recent announcement of its Ultra Smart F700 mobile phone.

The F700 is the first Ultra phone to feature a full touchscreen display with slide-out keypad that's very much similar to QWERTY-enabled PDA-phones such as the Dopod 838 Pro and O2 Xda Zinc. It is also equipped with an integrated music and video player, High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), Bluetooth and VibeTonz technology. Its onboard 5-megapixel sensor makes it the highest-resolution camera-phone we've seen so far from the Samsung Ultra series.

Handsets in the Ultra series have traditionally been known for their superslim form factors. The F700 is no exception with its 16.4mm girth which makes it one of the slimmest touchscreen phones with slide-out QWERTY keypads.

We'll be keeping a close watch on the F700, which is expected to be showcased at 3GSM.

From the little information provided, it seems that Samsung are onto a winner. With a reputation for construction quality, and thinking outside the square, Samsung have created a slick, pretty device. However, with a slim device comes a slim battery, so it will be interesting to see how it stacks up for talk time. That means too, that Wifi is probably out, as the Atheros radio chip is power hungry. Otherwise, I'd be happy to carry one around in my pocket.
