Samsung F400 Gets UK Release on O2 - Sgh F400

A new breed of music orientated Samsung phone has just been launched in the UK, the Samsung F400 is the first model from the manufacturer to feature a dual slide mechanism first seen in the popular Nokia N95 series handsets although in this case the slide reveals an oversized internal speaker rather than extra controls.

The Samsung F400 has been released on Orange contract so that consumers can take advantage of the network subsidies which discount the handset price and provide an allocated amount of free calling minutes and text messages.

The Samsung SGH-F400 Opus, although equipped with a 3 mega pixel camera and video player, is, it has to be said, more of a music phone than anything else.

The Samsung F400 is a successful combination of style, functionality and great sound, with its Bang & Olufsen ICE Power audio users can enjoy high quality sound wherever and whenever. The F400 music player offers a choice of MP3, AAC and WMA music formats and a music recognition feature which allows users to record a snippet of song on the phone and it will then be able to give full track details, including artist name, song and album details.

A Quad Band GSM phone with GPRS support and EDGE technology, the Samsung F400 Opus is HSDPA 3G enabled and includes bluetooth with A2DP stereo support and USB connectivity. The phonebook with photocall will hold a 1000 entries and the 24MB is as one would expect expandable with microSD.

This super-slick phone is an eye - catching dual slider, slide the screen down to display a built-in external speaker or upwards to view the traditional numeric keypad. A perfect combination of style, beauty and comfort. With support for Bluetooth 2.0 users are able to listen to their favourite songs wirelessly with a compatible Bluetooth headset, also the inclusion of an FM radio means that users will never be without the latest music tracks on their phone.

Other features of the Samsung F400 Opus not mentioned above include a web browser, email, picture editing software, organizer and downloadable games.

This new and unique offering has been initially released on Orange, however it is widely expected that the Samsung F400 will be made available on further UK networks very soon. The handset is already available as a SIM Free phone so that consumers can retain their mobile number by inserting their existing SIM card but the addition of Orange tariffs means that people can closely match their usage requirements and save money with the inclusive minutes and text.

Samsung F400 is a stylish and powerful music player that brings the wealth of a good quality sound in a tiny body. Enjoy your precious music collection stored in its music library wherever you are and share it with friends.
