ASIA
: Samsung's history of innovation in European mobile communications
has been witnessed with the introduction of TFT color screens, soft-touch
slide-up phones, built-in megapixel digital cameras, intenna (built-in
antenna) technology and the revelation of 3G in a series of highly
successful mobile phones. Now, Samsung combines these technologies
to introduce the SGH-D500, a multipurpose Megapixel slider on the
cutting edge of business communications.
Samsung unveils
the D500, a new addition to its European mobile phone line-up which
supports everything from business to entertainment, from the technology
oriented young generation to fashionable people who are looking for
more stylish and ease-of-use design.
The D500 integrates
the pinnacle of Samsung's industry leading innovations with a host
of quality features, including a soft-touch slide-up design; an intenna;
80MB storage capacity; a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash; video recording
and messaging; Bluetooth, email, and syncML connectivity; 64 polyphonic
ring tones; an enhanced voice clarity and speakerphone; a bright 1.9-inch,
262,144-pixel TFT-LCD screen and an MP3 music player.
The 1.3-megapixel
camera not only allows users to take pictures, but also gives them
creative freedom with the availability of 10 embedded special effects
and emoticons. The significantly bright flash and digital linear zoom
smoothly catches the best moments to remember.
The 80MB of storage
supports and expands the business capabilities of the user. The dynamic
shared memory allows people to store over 1,000 megapixel images,
capture 60 minutes of video, save 15 to 20 MP3 or AAC songs, enter
up to 60 minutes of voice recording or just use the space for receiving
and sending attached files.
With a variety
of sync options, the D500 supports Email Client, vCard and vCalendar
for quick information transfer. It has advanced MMS, Java and WAP
2.0 capabilities as well as USB and SyncML DS. In addition, the D500's
Bluetooth technology provides users with the power of a Personal Area
Network to immediately improve communication channels, increase productivity,
make data sharing and synchronization easier, supply instant access
to key information and create the freedom to work when and wherever
business needs arise. In particular, Bluetooth solutions in wireless
headsets and hands-free car kits allow users to talk easily and comfortably
anytime, anywhere.
The D500 also
supports video recording as well as plays back video and MP3 files
just like a PC with a full range of entertainment options. Fitted
with a 60-minute recording capacity, users will be able to capture
more of nature's brilliance or life's experiences and share the visions
and memories in living color. Recording flexibility is offered with
a 7x digital zoom for pictures and 4x digital zoom for video.
Samsung will launch
the SGH-D500 in the 4th quarter of 2004.
