In an age of uncontrollable progress where a torrential rain of gadgets and devices showcasing revolutionary attributes run rampant, the mobile phone industry has managed to hold its head firmly on its shoulders. With manufacturers like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and LG setting their sights on a broader horizon, we can easily foresee a new gush of even better products in the near future. What makes it all seem so achievable is the input of a steady rise in technology every now and then. In fact, the whole industry of mobile phones is akin to a circus of performers displaying their own unique skills. Amidst this crowd of performers, Samsung is one name that has managed to create a niche for itself for as long as we have known.



The South Korean manufacturer has baffled our minds since it first emerged into the arena with a league of wonder phones that create awe and inspiration with their style and performance. Naturally speaking, Samsung has done all it can to live up to its reputation. The most amazing aspect of this industry is the fierce competition between hundreds of phones, which even figures within the walls of a manufacturer. The consequential face-off between the recently released Samsung i600 and the Samsung Z720 McLaren was, therefore an inevitable bout between two stalwarts displaying great skills.

The Samsung i600 is a ultra messaging 3G HSDPA smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard and a broad frame giving out the impression of a complete business phone. The smartphone has all the attributes of a mainstream phone goodies like a 1.3 megapixel main camera and a secondary VGA camera, music player with stereo sound, Java games and various connectivity gateways. However, additional features like a document viewer, image viewer, Internet browsers, RSS feeds and Podcasting make the Microsoft Windows 5.0 operating system based Samsung i600 a desirable phone.

The Samsung Z720 McLaren on the other hand is a style enriched 3G phone that is well endowed enough to fit the bill as the face of the McLaren F1 team. Even shaping up to reflect the garb of a racing car, the phone has a 3.0 megapixel primary camera with autofocus and a secondary VGA camera for video calling. A music player releases soothing energies in various formats complimented by a 20 MB integrated memory and a memory expansion option for quick storage.
