Watching videos, listening to songs, swapping photo’s, and the fasted internet-capable phone anywhere = the Samsung
Ultra Smart F700. The F700which will debut next week at the 3GSM in Barcelona, Spain, was announced today.
The phone has the new trendy look of the iPhone, with a touch screen that looks very similar, yet it incorporates a slide out QWERTY keyboard, for those not used to touch-screen interfaces. The keyboard only adds a fifth of an inch thickness over the iPhone st 16.4mm thick.
The touch screen includes a system called VibeTonz, a vibration system that has responsive vibrations for “feeling” the buttons. It also incorporates a “drag and drop” method for simple navigation and straightforward music play list control. It has a speed of 7.2 Mbps, which will allow you to download a MP3 song, in approximately 4.4 seconds. It has full internet access, and an impressive 5 mega-pixel camera. (the iPhone only has a 2 mega-pixel camera) No word has yet been given on the lens quality for the camera.
