Samsung has done it again: exactly when anyone didn't expect anything spectacular to be launched by the Korean mobile phone manufacturer, the DMB-enabled SCH-B630 has arrived as another evidence of how imaginative the guys that work in their development department are and also to prove us all wrong. Again. What is so special about this new release? Well, not very much, only that it has a whole lot of technology crammed in a body with a thickness of only 12.9 mm.

First of all, the SCH-B630 will offer its users a 3 megapixel camera with auto-focus that delivers enough quality so even the most pickiest of the Samsung customers will be satisfied. Next comes the S-DMB digital TV technology that will give the user access to mobile TV, a 2.12 inch 240x320 resolution TFT display, a multimedia player with support for MP3s and VOD files, wireless Bluetooth connectivity, an external memory extension card slot and an integrated TV-OUT port so you can be able to watch the DMB broadcasts of your choice from the comfort of your own home, on the huge screen of the TV set.

Have you ever thought that this kind of slim phones packed with mind-blowing features are nearly impossible to make? So did I, but it seems there are things that some of us, those 'some of us' being the guys from Samsung, don't consider to be impossible but as another opportunity to prove to everyone else that if one gives it a try, in the end will surely reach a result, be it a success or a failure.

Unfortunately, we shouldn't get all excited about this because all this mumbo-jumbo that not many of us understand is a sure sign the SCH-B630 will hit the Asian markets and until we, the people from other parts of the world, are going to get our hands on it, a lot of time will fly by.
