Samsung Soul: Making menus easy

Today Samsung announced a new addition to the Ultra Edition range called the Samsung Soul. The Soul will be properly shown off at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week and we're definitely looking forward to getting our sticky, cake-stained hands on it.

Packed with HSDPA that can reach speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and a 5-megapixel camera, you might forgive the Soul for being a little chunky, but it only measures 13mm thick and comes in a tough metal casing.

More impressively, Samsung has included a new navigation pad with a display that changes its icons depending on what feature you're using. This looks very cool, and supposedly makes it easier to understand what's going on -- we'll wait for a hands-on before we decide if that's true.

Make sure to check out all our Mobile World Congress coverage next week for more new phones and lots of pictures. -Andrew Lim
