Samsung Announces MP3 Mobile

Samsung's latest music edition phone the F210 looks more like an MP3 player at first sight as you can’t seem to find any keypad. The trick is to slide out the keypad from underneath. This tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz handset is also quite slim in form making the illusion more convincing with dimensions of just 88 x 31 x 20mm. It has a 1.46-inch display with 128 x 220 pixels.

It supports formats like MP3, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA formats plus various types of DRM. Unfortunately it doesn't have a radio but it does come equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 for connectivity. It’s not equipped with EDGE but it does have GPRS with a WAP browser.

Another attractive feature is that it has an inbuilt memory of 1 GB and an expansion slot for external memory (microSD) up to 2GB. Prices and availability haven’t yet been disclosed yet.
