Samsung M3310 Dual Slider & New LiMo Phones

Samsung M3310 Dual Slider:

Samsung is reportedly readying its dual slider music phone for launch in select Asian markets - that too, very soon.

The device, M3310 as mentioned earlier, is a music phone and comes with a dedicated speaker that is uncovered when you slide the screen. The specs of the phone will definitely not turn heads - but there is no doubt that the device will make a good mid-range handset.

As mentioned, the M3310 is just another phone with no special features apart from its rather non-traditional looks. The features speak for themselves. Don't believe us? Here we go anyway!

How does a 65K, QVGA TFT display sound? Then there is the dedicated music button, support for FM Radio, microSd card support for memory expansion and GPRS/EDGE connectivity. Wi-Fi seems to have been given the miss. For camera freaks, the decent 3.2 megapixel camera should suffice. No word if the camera is a plain-Jane one with lack of auto-focus. Measuring 101.8 x 46.9 x 15.9 mm and weighing 94 grams, this one should be quite lightweight.

Samsung Announces New LiMo Phones

Samsung, in association with major telecom operator Vodafone has launched two new LiMo OS based devices, the H1 and the L1 on the Vodafone UK network.
This is along with the announcement of Vodafone's new suite of internet services called Vodafone 360. This has to be one of the major LiMo phone releases in recent times. If you're still wondering what LiMo is, let us inform you that it is a Linux based smartphone OS platform that has just not taken of yet.

Samsung H1


As for the phones, the Samsung H1 apart from running a "customized for Vodafone UI", features a 3.5-inch OLED touchscreen display, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA and support for push email. On the imaging front, there's a contemporary 5MP camera with autofocus and flash. Oh, and with 16GB of internal memory, you'll never run out of storage space for your multimedia files.

Samsung M1


The second device launched is the M1, which we believe is slightly down the price ladder and sports a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen display, HSDPA, GPS, push email, 3MP camera, and 1GB of expandable memory. It will come in three color versions.

Both the phones will be launched in Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the UK by the end of the year: No, India isn't on that list. However, the service (Vodafone 360) will be launched in India early next year, but on Nokia and other devices.
