Samsung is the master of slider style handsets, and has again extended that knowledge into the smartphone world with the announcement of the new SGH-i620. Launched at IFA in Berlin this week, the new Samsung SGH-i620 combines the smarts of Windows Mobile 6 into a thin and stylish package, ripe with the classic Samsung design traits.
While it measures only 16mm (0.63") thick, the Samsung SGH-i620 packs a punch on the specifications sheet. On the connectivity side of things, the device includes tri-band GSM compatibility, along with UMTS and HSDPA for high-speed mobile data, which is complemented with the requisite Bluetooth v2.0. Up to 80MB of on board memory is available, with a microSD memory expansion slot present for storing all your presentations and documents for use in the full Office Mobile suite.
Despite being clearly business centric, the Samsung SGH-i620 also boasts impressive multimedia capabilities. A 2.0MP camera, complemented with a VGA resolution camera for video calling, takes care of photography, while the 2" QVGA (320×240 pixel) resolution landscape orientation display is great for video playback or surfing the web. An RSS reader compatible with podcast feeds will also provide entertainment on the go. Review: Samsung SGH-i620 (MobileBurn)
