Samsung U700, also known as U708 in China, is one stylish slider phone. As soon as I saw it passing the FCC hurdle earlier in July, I was amazed — it’s probably one of the slickest handsets I’ve seen. Naturally, the lack of features pulled me away from it, although I still hope that the Korean manufacturer will release a similar device running Symbian OS.

Anyway, now Samsung is offering the special edition of U708 phone in Taiwan. As far as I see, the device stays intact — the whole point is in a specially designed Swarovski crystals-decorated case. What you’ve just seen is the version for the girls. The men’s version follows after the jump. It looks expensive, though I’m not quite sure what kind of a man are they targeting…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
