USA Gets HSDPA Love from Samsung

Oh, Samsung. We're already fully aware of your ongoing quest to create remarkably thin phones, but you've got some nifty features up those sleeves too, don't you? Targeting the American 3G phone market, Samsung has just announced the launch of the A717 clamshell and the A727 candybar, both of which are about as slim as can be.

The A717, for example, measures just 12.9mm thick, providing a profile that will make any RAZR feel jealous. The A727 candybar is even more anorexic at just 8.9mm of thickness. Both phones feature video sharing functions, enhanced video transmission, speaker phone, Bluetooth, and music downloads.
