The Samsung Adidas F110 mobile phone instantly appealed to those who failed in looking past the brand's name, at the specifications. Either way, it has high chances of being just the right thing for many people out there who love sports enough to want to match their trainer and shoes with the mobile phone.

Samsung Adidas F110 is a thin and compact slider phone, with a sharp design and a navigation button that looks just like a sports shoe. The phone comes packed with 2.5G GPRS/EDGE connectivity, a technology that has been long surpassed. Without being picky, this should be suitable for handling data transfers at acceptable speeds.

The 2-inch screen is rather small, when compared to what other evolved handsets have gotten us used to seeing. Still, the large resolution of 240 x 320 pixels makes image display pretty good, although at reasonable standards. The 2 megapixel camera is capable of providing only average quality images.

When it comes to entertainment, Samsung Adidas F110 has to offer an FM radio and an mp3 player as well. All these features will surely fail to impress the more demanding handset users. What should manage to make this device stand out, despite all this, is the specialized heartbeat monitor, step counter and some dedicated sports applications. All these make it a great device to have around when exercising, especially for best taking account of the progresses that are being made.

Samsung Adidas F110 should be out on the market sometime within the next month, although the producer has made no specifications on the exact date when this should happen. The price should be one matching the Adidas name value and also the special sports features that few other mobile phones out there are capable of providing, with little concern to traditional specifications.
