Samsung G600 and its 5 Megapixel Camera Go Pink

Samsung announced that its 5 Megapixel G600 phone will be available in the UK in a new pink version, obviously preparing the handset for the Valentine's Day frenzy. So we have yet another Samsung phone for girls, after the recently announced Samsung L310 and Samsung L320 or the older models that we lost track of. What the pink version of G600 brings new is the fact that it is UK's first mobile phone with a 5 Megapixel camera that gets dressed in this color.

As I'm not a girl nor a boy that enjoys pink too much, I don't find the new look of G600 too appealing, but I'm sure others will. Besides, the girly cover hides the same specs that the original phone does, which means it's the same high-end device that won the "Phone of the Year" title in 2007.

Samsung G600 measures 101 x 47.8 x 14.9 millimeters, weighs 104 grams and offers a 2.2 inch, 240 x 320 pixels TFT display. Its 5 Megapixel photo camera comes with Auto focus, image stabilizer, flash and video (VGA) recording, being one of the most evolved cameras integrated by Samsung into a mobile phone. The slider supports quad-band GSM connectivity (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz) as well as EDGE and GPRS Class 10. 3G is missing, but under the pink case of the handset users will find other features like Media Player, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, WAP 2.0/xHTML, NetFront 3.4 browser, e-mail capabilities, Java MIDP 2.0, Stereo FM radio, TV out, microSD card support and built-in hands-free.

We're not sure if the pink version of Samsung G600 will make it to other countries except UK, but we do know that those living there can buy the phone starting this month from O2, The Carphone Warehouse, T-Mobile, Orange, Virgin Mobile and Phones 4U.
