Samsung's phones and female users have always had a special relationship, and I say this because the South Korean handset manufacturer is known for coming up with girls-only versions for lots of its mobile devices. Now Samsung has done it again by presenting the U900 Soul slider in a pink edition.

This is the second color version of the U900, coming after the original metallic silver one. The Pink Soul is available, for the moment, only in the UK, from Phones4U, the well-known online retailer. Moreover, the handset can only be acquired after the signing of a contract agreement with Orange (currently the fourth largest carrier in the UK, after O2, Vodafone and T-Mobile). The good part about this is that, theoretically, the pink U900 is free. Practically, those who get it will have to pay 35 GBP per month (about $70 or 45 Euros), based on an 18-month Orange contract.

Despite it's quite high retail price (about 400 Euros or 620 USD), Samsung U900 Soul is already a smash-hit. Only yesterday, the South Korean company said it had sold more than 1,000,000 units of the fancy slider, after less than two months from its launch. This, mainly in European countries, as Samsung has not yet released the handset in all the markets it wants to.

With its new "pink dress" and measuring only 12.9 mm in thickness, the U900 Soul is set to conquer the hearts of British girls and women. Even more, they will not get just a fashionable gadget, but also a highly advanced device. Among the best features of the Soul, we must mention its 5 Megapixel camera (with auto focus, flash and video recording), its Magical Touch navigation pad, its 240 x 320 pixel display with 16 million colors, plus lots of other Multimedia capabilities.
