3GSM: Samsung shows off hundreds more new mobile phones
Samsung showed off even more mobile phones at 3GSM than the seven mobile TV phones reported in earlier. OK, not quite hundreds, but enough to keep your average blogger's finger's fried just writing about them! As well as a host of 'nothing-special' phones, Samsung saw fit to show off the super-fast SGH-Z560 HSDPA phone, the SGH-Z160, billed as the world's slimmest 3G phone (9.8mm thick, if you were wondering!), and the credit-card sized P900.

Samsung Z560 HSDPA phone
As well as mobile TV phone, Samsung were also showing off the Samsung Z560 HSDPA phone. Again, this little beauty will be heading for Europe, which is fantastic news, as it can transfer data at up to 3.6 Mbps. Naturally, it also comes with 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, 30MB storage, and all usual features, but we take these a given now, don't we?!

Samsung SPH-Z10 3.2 megapixel cameraphone
Not all of Samsung's phones at 3GSM had been announced before. The company also revealed a new phone, the Samsung SPH-Z10 3.2 megapixel cameraphone. Following the trend of other companies' rising megapixellage, Sasmung's latest cameraphone also goes for the 3 megapixel approach, and also comes in quite an interesting twisting form factor. The phone is a tri-band GSM / UMTS clamshell, and features a swiveling 2.15" QVGA TFT display (1.1" color TFT external display), 3.2MP camera, video recording and playback, MP3 / e-AAC+ audio playback, TV-output, MS Office / PDF / JPG / TXT Picsel viewer, business card recogntion, Bluetooth, 128MB of internal memory, and microSD memory card storage - dimensions are 95.7 x 47.5 x 20.4mm.

Samsung P300 Credit Card phone
Finally (I hope!), Samsung brought the P300 Credit Card phone with them to 3GSM. It's called the credit card phone not because it contains a credit card, but because it's pretty much the size of one (only 8.9mm thick!) Currently only available in Korea, the good news is that Samsung will be selling this throughout Europe from March 2006. Thank you Samsung!
Now, let's see - seven mobile TV phones: check; HSDPA super-3G phone: check; new 3.2 megapixel cameraphone: check; new Symbian Series 60 phone: check; super-thin credit card phone: check. I have left some out, but they're just your 'average' mobile phones, and there's only time in this life to discuss so many Samsung mobile phones!
