Samsung have announced the new Samsung SGH-i400 smartphone. Based on the Symbian S60 OS (which has just celebrated its 100 millionth S60-powered handset being sold), the i400 is a sleek-looking slider, but not the smartest of smartphones. In fact, for a Samsung, its feature set is pretty sparse. It comes with a 2 megapixel camera, .2″ QVGA screen with 262,000 colours, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, MP3 player and a web browser. Not even 3G, making you wonder quite where the ’smart’ comes from for this smartphone (oh yes, S60!)

More details of the Samsung SGH-i400 after the jump.

From the press release:

The Samsung i400 is perfect for users who want to have all of the advanced features of a smartphone in a slim and stylish design. The new smartphone i400 is based on Symbian OS and S60 which offer extensive language supports, enhanced download applications and multitasking features. With Symbian S60, the Samsung i400 allows its users to install programs on their mobile phones just like PCs. The stylish slider phone supports full web browsing and Bluetooth connectivity for active business users. To enhance its multimedia features, the Samsung i400 also includes 2 Megapixel camera, music key and stereo dual speaker. Moreover, the i400 has a 2.3” wide display for the convenient use of business and multimedia functions.

S.P. Yoon, Vice President of Samsung’s Telecommunications Network Business said, “We are happy to introduce our new Symbian based smartphone SGH-i400 which follows the earlier release of SGH-i520, the first Symbian OS smartphone. We can provide a convenient mobile phone experience for our users by adopting Symbian S60.” He added, “Samsung is excited to present new smartphones to our customers around the world, and we will continue to reveal new models to fit our customers’ needs.”

The i400 will be launched in Russia from July 2007 and to be expanded in other European countries shortly.
