Samsung’s Soul now available on T-Mobile UK

Samsung’s flagship U900 Soul is now available to people on T-Mobile over in the UK. The Soul is the finest of the high end Ultra series by Samsung. The soul is different from the other devices in the Ultra series, it has a few more features as the king of the Ultra, not to mention that wonderfully attractive touch sensitive navigation pad.

T-Mobile UK is kicking this handset off some gifts. When you get your Soul on a new contract from T-Mobile UK, they also hook you up with a free gift, to make the deal even sweeter. The gifts include game systems like the Nintendo Wii, and the Playstation 3. If video games are not your thing, then you can get a free iPod Touch.

The Samsung Soul does not have all this hype around it for no reason, it packs a serious spec sheet to back itself up. Features of the U900 Soul include a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus, and face detection. It has a 2.2 inch QVGA resolution screen to check out your photos. FM radio, MP3 player, HSDPA and A2DP to round out the feature set.

Samsung SGH-U900 Soul in Bright Silver

Samsung made no attempt to hide which handset in its current lineup is its most favored son. Images of the U900 Soul were plastered all over Barcelona this year, home of the 2008 Mobile World Congress show. This new slider, which appears to be ushering in the new Ultra III line of slim handsets, features a new OLED backed touchpad for navigation instead of a typical d-pad and softkey cluster. We sat down with Samsung in order to get some one on one time with the new Soul.

Unlike the prior Soul we had access to, this unit was clad in a very bright and attractive silver metal color scheme. The brighter color scheme really works very well, and I am glad to see Samsung going with something other than glossy black for its high-end handsets. In any case, the silver U900 is otherwise exactly the same as the darker version, so be sure to check out our original gallery story for more photos, commentary, and video of the U900 in action.

Special Preview: Samsung Soul

The Soul Within

The U900 or preferably known as the Soul was heavily promoted as part of a major advertising campaign initiated by none other than its maker, Samsung and unveiled in spectacular fashion at the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. As we found out, the Soul is Samsung's flagship model for 2008, so it's quite understandable why the Korean giant has placed so much focus on this handset. If you're intrigued by the origins of the Soul's name, here's a little background information:

• Soul was named to honor the completion of its successful "Ultra Edition" series.


• Soul is an abbreviation of "The Spirit Of Ultra".

With that said, we shan't keep you waiting, so here are our first impressions on our hands-on experience with the Soul:-
