14 DAY TRIAL // The first Samsung MiniSkirt launched back in May 2007 managed to arouse fans attention through its 'feminine' design (read 'name'). The last year slider was codenamed Samsung SCH C220, but dubbed Samsung MiniSkirt for future reference.
Some of its quick specs include 2.2" display, 2 Megapixel camera, microSD card slot, MP3 player, Bluetooh and GPS. While not one of the best featured Samsung mobile phone, MiniSkirt has had some success based on its name, but unfortunately it was only available in Korea.
Well, these days the Korean company decided to bring back the old model, upgrading its features and offering it as Samsung MiniSkirt Season 2. Depending on the network carrier the model bears various names: SCH-C225 / SPH-C2205 / SPH-C2255.
Even if the name might suggest it, Samsung's new MiniSkirt slider has nothing to do with fashion. On the contrary, I believe MiniSkirt Season 2 is just a simple confusing name that intends to attract buyers regardless of their gender. Nevertheless, the slim (10.9 mm) slider has been packed with average features that follows the same pattern introduced by the first MiniSkirt model.
There's a medium 2-megapixel camera that will enable users to take average shots, Bluetooth connectivity for data transfer, built-in GPS receiver with real traffic information, e-dictionary, and haptic or vibration feedback, but also a physical touchpad. A new function has been added to MiniSkirt 2, the "Smile Shot" function that enables automatic shots of smiling faces.
Nothing more to add about it, just that its design remembers somewhat of Samsung's Ultra Edition series, but that can't be bad. There will be about 3 or 4 different color versions, which are making the phone to look a little bit fashion-like. Samsung's MiniSkirt Season 2 will be available only in Korea at the end of the month and can be acquired for approximately $450.
