Samsung U800, the most recently released mobile phone from the Soul lineup of handsets, is now available in Ukraine, one of Europe's largest mobile markets in terms of the number of subscribers (about 55 million).

Also called Samsung Soulb, the U800 was officially introduced to the world at the end of May, coming as the third member of the Soul family, which also includes the U900 slider and the G400 clamshell.

To differentiate the U800 from the other two Souls, Samsung has designed a candybar case for it, which came out quite elegant. Moreover, the case is extremely slim, measuring only 9.9 millimeters in thickness and making the Soulb a perfect choice for fashion-conscious customers.

Ukrainian mobile users can buy the U800 as of today, for the retail price of 1,400 hryvnia - meaning about 185 Euros or slightly less than $280. Most probably, the handset can be found in all of Samsung's stores, as well as via the major mobile retailers from across Ukraine.

Since it's a Soul phone, Samsung U800 offers a wide range of advanced features (although less advanced than the ones packed in the U900 and the G400 models). These include: a 2-inch TFT display with 16 million colors and 240 x 320 pixels, 1 GB of internal memory, tri-band GSM connectivity (GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900) with GPRS and EDGE, HSDPA 2100 MHz connectivity, a 3 Megapixel camera with flash and video recording, Music player, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, FM radio with RDS, full HTML browser, email, document viewer, USB 2.0 and support for microSD / microSDHC cards (up to 8GB).

For the time being, Samsung U800 is available in Ukraine only in the grey version, but it might soon be sold in other colors, as Samsung announced, back in May, that the handset would come out in silver, violet, pink and black, too.
