Samsung’s latest touchscreen mobile is coming soon

Only Vodafone will sell the HSDPA-capable device in Hungary.

Samsung Electronics, a leader in mobile phones and telecommunications devices, has announced its sleek SGH-F700 mobile phone, developed in partnership with Vodafone, the world’s largest mobile operator, for the European market. The phone was first unveiled at the 3GSM conference in February this year and is expected to be available in stores across Europe in early November. The device is capable of 3,6 Mbps transfer speeds on Vodafone’s 3G Broadband (HSPDA) network, allowing users to surf the World Wide Web faster as well as download music faster. Thanks to its predictive touch screen technology, the user will have free navigation between programs and menus.

The Samsung F700 strives to be the easiest-to-use multimedia phone on the market with its responsive touch screen and extra multimedia applications. Utilizing decades of experience in user-friendly phones and design, Samsung has created a phone with the F700 that features a full touch screen on the one hand and a QWERTY keyboard on the other.

Using the F700, creative and business people can browse content on a 3,2 ”inch stunning color screen. The device offers high-end entertainment with an all-in-one autofocus 3 mega-pixel camera and 2,6 Mbps HSPDA capability, making it easy to watch videos, listen to music, and take high-quality photos, surf the web in lightning speed, or to read and reply to our letters while we are on the road. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard makes it even easier to access mobile mail and other text messaging applications.

The F700 received a new user interface that also won the prestigious IF award in 2007 in the Design Communications category. Users are increasingly recognizing the growing importance of the pursuit of economy, which is why Samsung has introduced a new, fully touch LCD technology on the device and in every application on it. The user interface is called “Croix,” which means cross in French. This makes it much easier to use, especially in cases such as changes to input options, basic navigation features, content access, and running tasks. Comfort, satisfaction, speed and performance: these were the values ​​that Samsung put forward when creating this user interface.
