Samsung, one of the lead mobile phone manufacturers in the world at the moment, is going to launch in Taiwan a new slider handset with 3G flavor.

The name of the device is going to be SGH-Z368 and as far as I've managed to round up things until now, it is going to be a phone that most of the people living in Europe and in the States will also want to get their hands on.

I'm not mentioning nothing here about Koreans or Japanese folks because they get what no one else gets and I'm still kind of mad at them for that.

The cellphone is going to be a tri band WCDMA (3G)/ GSM handset, working on 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz networks (good news for Europe here), will sport a 2 inch 260k colors TFT LCD screen with a 176x220 pixels resolution, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera with CMOS sensor and able to capture videos of up to 60 minutes, a second 0.3 megapixel one for video calls, GPRS and EDGE data transfer technologies support, a multimedia player able to play MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, 3GP and MPEG4 files, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP email accessibility, wireless Bluetooth with stereo A2DP profile, 30 MB of internal memory, PC Sync capability via USB 1.1, a microSD memory expansion card slot, all of these carefully packaged in a slim and good looking body measuring 96.8 x 47.7 x 18.5 mm and weighing 95 grams.

From the looks of it, the Z368 is a 3G upgraded D600 cellphone which also got a little slimmed down and a slight make-up on top of all the internal changes, some of them good (a second camera for video calling for example) but also some of them not that well thought or at least made with a mind on the final price of the handset (the main camera now has 1.3 megapixel, compared to the one of 2 megapixel the D600 had).

There are no other information about when the SGH-Z368 is going to be released (in Taiwan or anywhere else) at the moment and the price is yet to be officially published.
