Samsung has announced the launch of Soulb, “Spirit of Ultra” (Soul) in bar form factor. Along with containing all the merits of the original Soul handset, the Soulb is also fully covered in a metallic body, which is softly brushed with a hairline pattern. The Soulb is just 9.9mm thick and appears to have a very simplistic design form. It’s available in five colors - Soul Grey, Platinum Silver, Metallic Black, Soul Pink and Amethyst Violet.
The Soulb comes equipped with an embedded 3-megapixel camera with Power LED, office document viewer and editor, full speed internet browser and Bluetooth v.2.0. Other features include a music player, video editor and recorder and an FM radio with RDS. The handset has 1GB of internal memory and also supports microSD cards for additional memory.
“Soulb is an important stepping stone for Samsung,” said Geesung Choi, President of Samsung’s Telecom Business. “Soulb proves the world that Samsung is not only a predominant leader in selective form factors, but that it continuously seeks after becoming the leader in all variety of form factors, including slider, clamshell and bar,” he continued.
Soulb will first be available in Germany early June. It will then continue to other countries and regions, including Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia (China), Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, and South America.
There’s no pricing attached yet.
The keypad seems to be dust free. The side keys look different. But what about the talktime? Commendable job done on Bar phone in terms of look.
