Samsung ultra slim SGH-X820

Samsung ultra slim SGH-X820 - read the full textFor the Sviaz ExpoComm 2006 in Russia (10-13 May) Samsung will present their ultra slim phone SGH-X820. The new bar phone is only 6.9 mm thick. It features a 2 megapixel camera with video...

 

I'm quite sure this phone will beat the L7 on any given day... i've had the L7 for a few months and the only reason i keep it is because of the ITunes feature and its slim design, i'm positive the this samsung phone has much better features... especially the camera quality to name one!!!

the SGH-X820 looks very nice. the screen is a little too small though. seems everyone is releasing 3mp cameras before SE :-(

The phone looks phenominal. The size and weight is jaw dropping and the fact that it has a 3 MP camera makes it all the better. Blows the SLVR L6 out of the compitition. Samsung Cellular phones are, in my eyes, the hottest on the market today.

It is a cool phone! (apart from the bump).
Amazing that all this - including a removeable battery has been sqeezed in. Note the weight: 66g!!!!

I wonder when we will see a phone like this with a 'lockable' double-hinge in the middle!! This way they the same phone could apeal to both fans of bar-phones and clamshells....

If you -in theory- bend this X820 over you would get a phone physically smaller than the V3... With more modern features.

In my opinion i think Samsung has come a long way and i rate their mobile phones of today the hotest around, the SGH-X820 looks cool and all that but i believe the phone to look out for is the samsung Z710, Gush this up and comming phone is stocked with All that and more.i hope the price tag will be reasonable.

A lot of you guys/gals are so damn critical! Samsung has been doing a great job on their phones and this new X820 looks outstanding (Come on now ... 6.9mm thick with buttons, not a pad, 2mp, video and a SD card! DAMN!!)

I've been a Moto (and a flip-phone) guy for a while but I will be purchasing a Samsung product (probably the D820) as they seem to improve on the problems of other vendors and produce good quality for the dollar (pound or euro)..

No, I don't work for the company but I am an engineer. I do appreciate good quality and innovation when I see it.

Yaaap Im with you..there should make a slim candy-bar with no camera on it. Many people want it...Its pathatic to see Nokia and motorolla are making even monochrome/CSTN 65K colors cheap phones to saty in number 1 and 2.
