The Samsung loyalists would surely be delighted with the launch of Samsung U300. Not that it is exceptionally brilliant than its fellow Samsung family members or there is some other newly found reason. However, there is an exception. That can be seen in its new clamshell avatar that seems a refreshing change from the horribly similar looking slider phones those had been coming out from the Samsung factory since so long. But we understand that slider phones have always been Samsung's forte. But Samsung U300 as a slider device is indeed a welcome change for us.



The technical specifications of Samsung U300 are commendable too. But its exteriors are impressive still. Save for its slightly tweaked form and slim shape, this mobile phone is more or less the same as Samsung D830 (ultra edition 9.9). Like its camera, Samsung U300 too comprises of a 3 Mega Pixels camera that gives a high resolution picture quality and places this phone in the high end Samsung range. But what we miss in this handset is the expandable memory that could be seen in Samsung D830. Anyhow, the handset comes bundled with pretty decent specifications that we must talk about now.

Samsung U300 is a Tri-Band GSM device that is equipped with high end connectivity features as GPRS, EDGE and Bluetooth, allowing it to be taken across five continents. The standard web browsing and e-mailing features are perfectly intact in this device. Then, there is a high end integrated music player in this mobile phone that rolls music like never before through its MP3/ACC/eAAC+/WMA/WMDRM file formats. Plus it has MPEG4/H.263 video player as well. For all those who access their corporate information through their handsets can easily do so with the help of its integrated document viewer that opens data in the MS Office format.

Thus, Samsung U300 is a sexy handset that fits into the requirements of those who are looking for a slim and clamshell device which is impregnated with a highly advanced technology.
