The Korean mobile phone manufacturer has launched the 8.4 mm thin SCH-B510, named "the world's slimmest DMB phone", a day after the launch of its rival
the LG-SB610, and just took its not more than a day long received title of the thinnest DMB handset on its way out to the official launch.

I suppose that if Samsung keeps trying to shrink down mobile phones to these preposterous sizes, they will some day launch a mobile device that will be simply out of the 3D space : we will have in our hands the first 2D cell phone ever made. Now that really is thin!

The handset offers a generous 2 megapixel camera crammed into this outrageously constricted device, an MP3 player, a microSD expansion memory card slot, a DMB TV tuner, of course (unfortunately, you won't get much entertainment out of it because of the undersized display), motion detection (freaky isn't it?), an MS file viewer and a 3D messenger. If the ludicrous size wouldn't be enough, the 72 grams weight of the handset makes the sensation of holding an almost non-existing phone in your hands even more authentic.

Even if the SCH-B510 is going to be available only on the Korean KTF carrier, I have to say it: Samsung, please stop freaking us out and stop launching dwarfish phones! And yeah, some of us really had enough with this "thinnest mobile" thing that has been going around.
