Samsung touchy treo of SGH-E950, SGH-E840, and SGH-J600 heading to Southeast Asia

Hope you’re reading this from some country in the Southeast Asia, as you will be pleasantly surprised. Samsung just released a treo of beautiful devices, all sporting the Touch Sensitive Keypad that responds to “just a light sweep of the fingers.” As you can guess for yourself this sounds too good to be truth. I’ve played around with few of the Samsung’s models that sport the mentioned technology, and so far I wasn’t impressed. Nothing compares with the good ol’ feedback from the keyboard. It’s just that I wasn’t sure whether or not I’ve actually pressed a key, so I kept pressing/touching on and on. Please note that it’s my subjective opinion – I know people who enjoy using the Touch Sensitive Keypad. Anyway, back to these good lookin’ babes…

The SGH-E950 prides itself with its 3.2 MP camera and its powerful multimedia features. On the other hand, the SGH-E840 is probably the best lookin’ device in the series thanks to its minimalist and futuristic 10.6mm-slim design and a glossy mirror-like surface. Samsung also promised better mobile Web experience with this device using the built int NF v3.4 browser. Finally, the SGH-J600 is a next generation of entry level devices, bringing almost too-good-to-be-true look for the low-end range. It is available in a variety of vivid colours, and also boasts a 1.3 MP camera. Check out the full release after the jump.
