14 DAY TRIAL // The Samsung B7300 was spotted in the wild about two months ago, when it surfaced along with the Samsung S8000, but there were no exact details on the capabilities of the device unveiled at the time, except for some info on its looks. However, now we have the chance to take a closer look under Samsung B7300's hood.
For starters, the handset comes with quad-band GSM, GPRS, and EDGE connectivity, while including a 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen display that boasts a 320 x 400 pixel resolution, as well as a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, support for FM radio, built-in GPS receiver, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity and USB 2.0 slot (microUSB).
As one can easily figure it out, the capabilities of the device are not as impressive as one might have expected, especially given the fact that the phone is running under the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, but in the end it should prove a rather affordable smartphone that also includes touchscreen features.
From what we can see from the images available with the handset, we can easily understand why it seems to bear the same design as the already-known S8300 UltraTOUCH. Moreover, it also comes with a custom version of the company's TouchWiz interface, which can be usually found on feature phones.
The bottom line is, however, that the Windows Mobile-powered Samsung B7300 still lacks a lot of features that can be found on high-end devices, be they smartphones or not, such as Wi-Fi connectivity and 3G capabilities. For what it's worth, the handset might end up on the market featuring a price tag under 200 Euros, which could attract a lot of users. Unfortunately, there are no exact details on the price the Samsung B7300 will actually feature, nor on the date when it will become available for purchase.
