Samsung has just introduced a new handset – the L870 that is an S60 embedded smartphone. It's made out of a stainless steel body with a hairline pattern and this slider phone is also just 13.5mm slim. Samsung and Series 60 OS seem to be doing quite well together with the platform complimenting Samsung's handset design.

"We are happy to compliment our product portfolio with yet another appealing S60 mobile, Samsung L870 that is fully customized with style, performance and user interface," says, Jongin Kim, the Vice President of Mobile Communication Division of Samsung Electronics. "With S60, we can successfully deliver the latest mobile technology with fully customizable applications and the intuitive user interfaces."

The L870 is equipped with a 2.4 inch QVGA TFT display with 16 million colors. Other features include an FM radio with RDS, a 3 megapixel camera that's capable of DVD quality video recording, document viewer and microSD external memory card support. It runs on a Symbian OS v9.3 (S60 3rd edition feature pack 2). The handset also supports Bluetooth v2.0, EDGE/GPRS and HSDPA speeds.

Samsung L870 will first be launched in Europe around August and will then be out in all regions where GSM is available. There doesn’t seem to be any pricing attached to the handset yet so stay tuned.
