Fascinating as they are, ultra high-end handsets are not everybody's cup of tea. In fact, the good old mid-range is the bread and butter for every successful mobile phone company, for that's what gets those sales numbers right. As we see it, Samsung i550...

The Samsung Z560 is a feature-packed clamshell which is equipped with some of the latest technologies in the mobile industry – HSDPA, a 2 megapixel camera with auto focus, microSD memory card slot and a really large 2.3” TFT display with a QVGA resolution.

Ivo Mareček, 25 January 2007

The controversial Samsung X830 won’t leave you indifferent. It is a MP3 player with 1 GB of built-in memory on one hand, and a mobile phone, supporting Bluetooth and EDGE on the other hand. The unusual design also draws the attention – it will amuse some, while it will definitely inspire others.
