The USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0 place it right up there with top rated phones. Some may say it resembles the Toshiba G500 but we don’t agree. Although it has the two slider mechanism is somewhat equivalent to that of the Nokia N95. Its silver and white finishing makes it look modest, strong and attractive. It has rare iPodish click wheel for music and other navigation controls. It also features quad band GSM and HSDPA (3.6Mbps) international travel friendliness, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB2.0 and a gig of integrated memory which can be expanded via a microSD slot. The price and other details of the phone have not been announced yet.
Following are the specifications of the Samsung i450:

Samsung E950 is a slim slider with loads of features; it seems to be an improved version of Samsung E900. The Samsung E950 measures 98 x 46 x 15 millimetres and comes in attractive black and metallic finishing. If not us trust us the pictures the phone looks stylish. The best feature that Samsung E590 offers is its touch sensitive navigation through out the phone’s interface, same as its precursor Samsung E900. The user can get touch panel input in the 1.2 inch display in the phone. But the touch screen navigation system can be dodgy at times, but let’s hope Samsung has fixed the problem this time. The phone is fitted with a 3 megapixel camera. But don’t expect much as it lacks auto focus and produces average quality photos which may disappoint some people. It comes with the microSD memory card slot so you don’t have to bother about the space for your songs, images and videos. Its compact size and weight makes it easy to carry in hand, pocket or the handbags. But I am you’re the user will like to carry it his hand because of his seductive looks.
The phone is packed with the 262K colour TFT display with a QVGA (320×240 pixels) resolution and Bluetooth with A2DP. For all the music lovers who must be worried by now, it does have FM radio and TV out facility but that’s it. It is not a music phone, sorry. The Samsung E590 offers MS Office documents viewer but let us warn you it is really slow. Another disadvantage or minus points is that Java applications can only be installed through WAP. The phone has nice web browser which will make many people happy. The Samsung E590 comes with a Data cable and a 512MB card and with a decent battery backup. Now let’s have a close look at the phone. As we have told you the phone is touch sensitive so there are no beautifully or differently designed keys sticking out of the phone which we can analyse.When in active mode the touchpad display red backlighting and white fonts, which look attractive, to some it may not though.
But if you are worried about the size of the keys don’t worry as no compromise has been made with the standard comfortable size of the keys. If you will move to the left side of the phone you will find a volume rocker and a port for plugging the charger, a headset and the data cable. Samsung has really worked on the looks you see no ugly wholes in the phone to spoil the looks. The strangest or the much unexpected thing is that Samsung is not offering charger with the phone. How can they do this, really? May be it’s their way of saying we don’t made the best headset sorry, you deserve better. Whatever? Going to the right side of the phone the user will find an ON and off key which can be used to unlock the handset when the slider is closed or even wake up the touch-sensitive keypad if you let it turn off. You must be guessing where is the Camera release button well obviously if it’s not on the left side it will be on right. And if are talking about the camera release button let us tell you the Camera is in its immoveable position on the back of the phone. It is revealed when the phone is in the open position. A self portrait mirror is also placed next to the camera in case the user wants to take his or her pictures. The handset also features a LED flash for better pictures.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Samsung E590 are as follows:
1. It has unique touch screen navigation solution, which can be little dodgy
2. Its Compact size and weight is definitely a plus point
3. A megapixel camera which lacks auto focus and produces average quality photos
4. it features 262K color TFT display with a QVGA (320×240 pixels) resolution and Bluetooth with A2DP
5. It has microSD memory card slot
6. FM radio ,TV out , MS Office documents viewer
7. Samsung has included Data cable and a 512MB card in the retail package
8. Nice web browser but office documents viewer is slow
9. But Choppy animation in the main menu and Java applications can be installed only through WAP.
10. Above all only preset message ring tones

This phone has some of the contemporary looks and seems the designers have spent many hours designing this phone. There are various design variations in this phone which makes it different from various phones of this range. There is a special leather coating on this cell phone which makes it a sober gadget. It’s not just about the design of this phone which is attractive but the features are also quite good and promising. Samsung P520 is a tri band GSM phone with an over all dimension of 88x 54x 8.9 mm.

Samsung has released the new Samsung L600 mobile phone which is one of the most stylish and colorful low end handset I have ever seen. Though there are various features in this phone which can be related to various other handsets but the color of this phone makes it really attractive and very girly. Among the various style experiments done by Samsung recently, this one can be the weirdest of them all. This is a handset which has a sliding body with contrast colors. Well, I can’t deny the fact that this may attract girls a lot to opt for this phone but still this phone lacks the zing. According to me it’s better to have a stylish phone which completely relies on its style than having a goof up of style and feature. So it’s difficult to say in which category we should put the new Samsung L600.
This new phone in rack has features which are now very common among various budget phones. This tri band GSM phone looks like an imposter with its vibrant choice of colors. With a dimension of 93.5 x 44x 16.6 mm, this phone promises to be a lighter gadget with 84 grams weight. Samsung L600 gives a TFT 256K color display with 176x 220 pixels resolution.

Now we have the new Samsung P260, a 2 mega pixel camera phone which has various features including a WAP browser. Unlike various Samsung phones, this phone provides easy user interface. This is a slightly heavy phone weighing 112 grams. But, I am really unable to understand why all these manufacturers are designing such heavy phones. And if you design a cumbersome phone then you should gorge it with a lot of features not the redundant ones. Well, we can only suggest things and it solely depends on the manufacturer as how it perceives the reactions. Now back to our P260, this is a tri band GSM phone which is designed to target the medium level users. The over all dimension of this phone is 101x 50x 17 mm and this is what makes it so heavy too.
