that Slides and Rotates

Unveils 'Korea-Japan Roaming Phone'

Samsung Electronics announced the launch of its latest satellite DMB phone (model number: SCH-B200/SPH-B2000) with a unique "slide and rotate" form factor. Samsung's B200, which was first unveiled at MIPTV/MILIA in Cannes, France last April, is the most recent addition to its growing line-up of satellite DMB phones.
The phone's unique design allows users to first slide and then rotate the LCD screen 90-degrees for a landscape viewing orientation that is more ideal for watching broadcasted video content. Satellite DMB programs, along with games, photo-taking, MP3 player, and VOD features can now be enjoyed with more convenience.
The B200 also has a mini pedestal attached to the battery which allows the phone to stay upright during TV viewing. It is capable of multitasking and allows users to talk on the phone and send SMS while watching satellite DMB content.
The B200 is specially designed to reduce power consumption, ideal for continuous DMB viewing for up to three hours. It comes packed with the latest features, such as 2-megapixel camera, 256MB TransFlash external memory, TV output function, and wired and wireless mobile printing.
Lee Kitae, president of Samsung's Telecommunication Network Business said, "Samsung has been leading the DMB phone market with the introduction of unique phones with new form factors that enhance ease-of-use and viewing pleasure."He added, "Samsung plans to continue offering new DMB phones with cutting-edge features and innovative designs." "Korea-Japan Roaming Phone"
Samsung Electronics announced the launch of a multi-function Korea-Japan roaming mobile phone (model: SCH-V670). V670 also comes with the latest multimedia features (MP3, VOD, MOD, etc.), as well as diverse cutting-edge features, including file viewer and mobile printing.
V670 is Samsung's second edition after unveiling its first Korea-Japan roaming mobile phones (model:SCH-X600, SPH-X6000) during the 2002 World Cup season. Users can use their own phones when traveling in countries that use same frequency CDMA technology.

However for Japan, users had to rent a phone that works in Japan. V670 allows the Korean user to use the phone in Japan without having to rent a mobile phone separately.
When the phone owner selects a country for international roaming from the menu, roaming is activated without having to call the service provider before leaving the country.
In addition, as this model is based on the EV-DO technology, the phone allows rich multimedia contents to be downloaded as well. Thus, enjoying music or video through the phone via cutting-edge multimedia features such as MP3, VOD, and MOD while in Japan, whether on business or pleasure, is possible.
V670 has a wide range of business task support features for those frequenting Japan
on business trips. A file viewer feature displays MS Office, PDF and JPG files directly on the phone. Wired and wireless mobile printing is supported and portable disks for file portability are equipped on the phone as well.
A sophisticated antenna-style design imbues a luxurious image while convenient and refined new graphic user interface supports eight different styles of calligraphy, maximizing user convenience and satisfaction in both internal and external designs.
It comes packed with a 1.3 megapixel camera, GPS, remote control function for TVs, game players, and air conditioners. Additionally, an m-commerce function is supported. The phone offers 2 colors - in smoky black or silver. The phone is available in Korea at around USD 500.
