The Samsung F210 mobile phone looks like a music player. Well, that's exactly what it is, so you shouldn't be too surprised by the clever ultra-narrow design. There's a slim colour display and a circular control pad for navigating through the on-screen menu. Inside it's happy to handle most popular music files (including MP3, AAC and WMA formats) with a massive 1GB of expandable memory to store your tunes. You'll even find an FM radio with RDS data to identify your chosen station.
Now rotate the front panel on this slender device and you'll reveal a mobile phone keypad. But it's not just a standard mobile phone. This is a 2 megapixel camera phone. It'll record video clips as well. And you'll find a wide range of other familiar features, with text messaging, picture messages, polyphonic and MP3 ringtones, Bluetooth connectivity and built-in games all available.
Anyone who enjoys music on the move will instantly see the appeal of the Samsung F210. The pocket-sized styling makes it clear where its priorities lie... but don't be fooled by the size. This is a well-specified mobile phone that'll outperform many larger handsets.
