Samsung has recently launched an improved version of the Samsung 710 phone. Samsung i710 screams elegance without being necessarily feminine. The design accentuates its strong, stylish shapes through silvery lines as to make it appealing for both sexes.

As we've been used to by Samsung's line of phones until now, this cellular also has reduced dimensions, with only 13.5 mm in thickness. The most impressive aspect about it is obviously its TFT touchscreen that supports up to 265K colors. The size is overwhelming as well, as it measures 2.8 inches, with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. As if this was not enough for making this mobile phone special and original, the display also supports handwriting recognition.

Samsung i710 has an internal memory of 55MB, but, if that is not enough, it also has a microSD card slot. That will provide just about enough space for the user to store all the photos taken with the phone's 2 megapixel camera. This phone proves to have what it takes for making high quality pictures, as it is equipped with a flash and also permits video recording and autofocus. In order to transfer the images or any other type of data to a PC, connectivity can be done through Bluetooth v2.0 and USB v1.1.

This appealing, shiny phone is not a toy. It runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC with Windows Media Player 10 integrated. Furthermore, it has a WAP 2.0/x HTML browser that also allows RSS feeds, email and instant messaging. Actually, it offers all the comfort of a pocket PC at top quality for making information access easy and rapid.

Samsung i710 is available for purchase at hi.mobile for a price of USD460.
