Mid-range Samsung W8300/W8350/W830 clamshell unveiled

Samsung unveiled a new fancy device — or that’s more of them — marked SCH-W830 for SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) and SPH-W8350 for LG Telecom. The “fancy” part comes from the fact that this clamshell(s) comes with external round screen, which looks super-cool. Moreover, at 13.4mm – it’s a super slim handset that also comes with a button on the hinge for opening of the clam — no, need for manual “work.”

Rest of the specs include 2.6-inch QVGA screen, 2-megapixel camera, media player, subway maps, SOS function, Bluetooth, microSD card, and a battery that can sustain up to 5 hours of talk and/or up to 390 hours of standby time. It is still unclear whether this baby will ever leave the shores of Korean peninsula, but we’re certainly hope to give it try. In the meantime, South Koreans can grab it in either blue, pink or white for 500,000 Won, which is about $400.
