Samsung Shows P310 Credit Card Phone

Product Launch by Michelle Ruhfass on Thursday September 14, 2006.

Today in Korea, Samsung announced the successor to its calculator styled SGH-P300, the SGH-P310. The P310, also known as the Card Phone II, has a revamped exterior that gets rid of the old retro calculator look of brushed aluminum, and updates the device with a matte black finish. Samsung also decided to slim down the P310, reducing the thickness from 8.9mm to 8.5mm. The feather light device weighs in at a mere 75g (2.6oz).

Don't be fooled by its credit card thin look, this triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE device hosts quite a multimedia package. It sports a large 1.9" 262k QVGA display, features Bluetooth 1.2 with stereo support, and comes equipped to sync with Microsoft Outlook - email included. Other features of note include a 2 megapixel digital camera, 80MB of on-board memory, and a microSD memory card slot. The P310 also includes both a video and music player, as well as a dual-function carrying case/extended battery that will give the P310 extra battery life to work with.

Samsung's new P310 will be available in the European market in late September, with the South East Asian market to follow in late October.
