Samsung L170 was first spotted at the end of January (2008, of course), and it is, first of all, a beautiful mobile phone. Its design is quite unusual, and at a first sight it might seem to be a slider.
But it's not, it's a candybar all the way, one that has a cool touch-sensitive keypad and a large navigation pad.
L170 is very thin and lightweight, measuring only 102.3 x 45.8 x 10.7 millimeters and weighing 85 grams, and it comes with tri-band GSM connectivity as well as 3G (UMTS 2100) and EDGE. The phone packs a 2 Megapixel camera with auto focus and video recording, a secondary video-call camera, Music player, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, NetFront browser, RSS reader, Google search, mobile blogging, Java MIDP 2.0 and microSD TransFlash card slot. Too bad about the small 1.6 inches, 220 x 176 pixels display and the weak battery that can provide a talk-time of about 2 hours and 50 minutes and a stand-by time of up to 250 hours.
Samsung L170 (or SGH-L170) is clearly a handset for those who want to look good. It even has pretty nice features, so it's a worthy option if you don't want an expensive phone but you care about style.
Samsung F330 is another good-looking 3G-enabled handset presented by the South Korean producer at CeBIT, a music-orientated slider that weighs 98 grams and measures 103 x 48 x 13.5 mm (when closed). The phone packs a 2.1 inch TFT, 256K colors display with 240 x 320 pixels, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash and video, secondary VGA videocall camera, Music player with support for MP3, AAC, eACC and WMA, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, email capabilities, WAP 2.0, Java MIDP 2.0, organizer and so on.
Samsung F330 also comes with dedicated music keys and a Li-Ion battery that should provide up to 3 hours and 20 minutes of talk-time and about 300 hours of stand-by time.
Here you have several live pics with both Samsung L170 and Samsung F330:
