Samsung U600 - World’s slimmest slider mobile phone.

One of the most exciting launches at the 3GSM World Congress was that of the Samsung U600, surely one of the big phones of 2007.

It’s one of four mobile phones released as part of Samsung’s new Ultra Edition II range, which will be Samsung’s flagship range in 2007.

The phones all come in a stylish graphite grey and feature a new battery enhancing technology called the Optimized Power Usage Solution.

The music playback facilities are improved as well thanks to a partnership with Bang & Olufsen.

The U600, referred to as the Ultra Edition 10.9, is undoubtedly the highlight of the range and looks set to be Samsung’s premium mass market offering in competition with Sony Ericsson’s update on the K800i, the K810i, and Nokia’s new N95.

It’s a stylish slider phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.2″ QVGA display, and a microSD memory card slot.

It’s also incredibly thin for a slider with a width of just 10.9mm, a trick repeated by the other models in the Ultra Line II range with the U300 becoming the world slimmest clamsell phone and the U100 the world’s slimmest phone! The other phone in the range is the U700 slider.
