Hot on the heels of the retail availability of the uber-sexy SGH-U900 Soul, Samsung, the largest cell phone manufacturer in Korea, has announced the launch of the Soulb ("soul bee") candybar. This cell phone is clad in a brushed metal body and measures in at a mere 9.9mm (.4") in thickness.

The Soulb offers up a 2" QVGA display and a new thematic user interface. A 3 megapixel camera with Power LED flash is built in, for a solid photography option, and the microSD card slot allows for plenty of pictures to be stored. The handset also includes 1GB of internal storage and a standard 3.5mm audio port for portable music. Though not a smartphone, the Samsung Soulb does feature a built-in Office document viewer/editor and full HTML web browser.

The Samsung Soulb is planned to be available in June in Germany, with other regions following shortly. This sleek handset will be available in your choice of Soul Grey, Platinum Silver, Metallic Black, Soul Pink, or Amethyst Violet.
