Samsung came out in force at 3GSM and launched an array of new handsets, including a bunch of super-thin phones dubbed the Ultra Edition II range. These handsets looked like they've been run over by a steam roller but impressively manage to pack decent feature sets.
If you thought the D900, X820 and D830 were cool then you'll absolutely love the Ultra Edition II range. Interestingly, Samsung has done a deal with Yahoo so that you can access Yahoo search, IM and email using the U600, U300 and U100.
Keep in mind, however, that thin phones mean thin batteries, so the battery life might not be as good as on other models.
First in the super slim line-up is the Samsung U600 (pictured), a slider phone that measures 11mm thin and features EDGE and quad-band GSM connectivity, a 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), a document viewer, an MP3 player and an expandable microSD slot.
We had a quick go with it out at 3GSM and the soft keys on the top section are a little annoying to use. Also the keypad is completely flat and doesn't give much tactile feedback. We'll reserve our final judgement until we get our hands on it for longer, but our first impression is that the thin design may have compromised its usability.
Update: A full review of the Samsung U600 is now available.
