Samsung i200 (or SGH-i200) is now commercially available in Europe and Asia, being offered as one of the slimmest Windows Mobile smartphones on the market. Announced at the beginning of the year and said to come with Windows Mobile 6.0, the i200 is now bundled with the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, which brings a revamped look and some improved features as compared to the 6.0 version.

Weighing 102 grams and measuring 116.7 x 50.8 x 11.8 millimeters, the i200 is surely a thin device. Its features include: tri-band GSM connectivity (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE, 2100 MHz HSDPA connectivity for data transfer speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, a 2.3 inch TFT non-touchscreen display with 262K colors and 240 x 320 pixels, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, a 2 Megapixel camera with face detection and video recording, a secondary VGA camera for video calls, Pocket Internet Explorer, Outlook email, Instant Messaging, mobile printing, document viewer and editor (World, Excel, PowerPoint), Music Player (MP3, WMA, AMR, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and OGG supported), MMS, voice dialing and USB 2.0.

Samsung i200 comes with only 25MB of internal memory, which is not enough for a smartphone but, fortunately, there's also a microSD card slot, so users will be able to count on several GBs of storage if a card is added. The battery packed in the slim smarpthone is an 1100 mAh one that should allow the device to remain functional for up to 4 hours in talk-time mode and up to 360 hours in stand-by time.

Samsung i200 is available in two colors (black and blue) for retail prices of around 400 Euros ($630). That's a bit expensive, but we should expect the handset to be much cheaper with a contract agreement, when released by various operators.
