Samsung U700

After the great success of the RAZR and sibling SLVR series, Motorola defined the standard of a slim phone. The market changed, and every manufacturer had to take the RAZR as an example and develop rival models. Samsung ambitioned to be “world first” and try to always offer the latest technology, so they soon started offering rival models under the Ultra-series branding. Samsung released the second generation of slim devices, the Ultra II series, which don’t really slim the profiles down, but come with upgraded functionality.

The U700 is a superslim 3G slide phone with a smart and elegant look and sliding construction, featuring a bundle of functions in a fashionably slim shape. Revealing a glossy finish, the reflective surface of the phone turnes into a mirror finish look when idle, similar with Lg`s Shine model. The glossy mirror-effect finish that makes it more attractive to look at than the U600.Even though the U700 looks metallic, it’s actually pretty plasticky, and doesn’t feel as solid as the Shine. The proce range is 499$- 300$ (370-250 eur), depending on the deal of the contract.
