Samsung S5050

Samsung S5050 is the latest low-to-mid range slider from the Korean giant. Unlike the one we discussed earlier, S5200, this one dumps TFT screen for the one powered by AMOLED technology. As a result, the screen looks more beautiful and colors are more vivid.

Rest of the specs include quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, FM radio with RDS, 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash, 800 mAh battery, media player, 40 MB of internal memory that is further expandable with microSD cards. Size wise, the device measures 105x49x14.6 mm and has a weight of 102 grams.

As for availability, the Samsung S5050 will start hitting store shelves and possibly carrier portfolios during this summer. The price is set at 168 EUR, which is about $235.

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.
