Las Vegas--(뉴스와이어)--Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung) today unveiled a super slim bar phone that is expected to be the thinnest available in the U.S. when it launches this spring. The Samsung t509, displayed for the first time at the CTIA Wireless 2006 trade show, boasts an ultra-thin profile of only 9.8 mm. With the addition of the t509 to its U.S. product portfolio, Samsung leads the industry as the only company to have three distinct slim phone designs - clamshell, slider and bar.

Samsung recognizes the current trend and growing popularity of slim, wide-screened phone designs. The functionality provided by a slim phone with expanded screen supports crucial advanced multimedia features, such as entertainment services, streaming video and messaging. The t509 joins Samsung’s successful slim predecessors, the a900, featuring a clamshell design, and the t809 with a slider design. Both phones support impressive multimedia features and each measure less than 15 mm thin. Also included in Samsung’s upcoming portfolio of sleek, slim phones is the d807, a stylish black and chrome slider ready expected in the U.S this summer.

The t509 and d807 feature high-speed EDGE connectivity and Bluetooth wireless technology to support delivery of entertainment and information on-demand services. Each phone boasts large, vivid 262K-color screens, ideal for watching streaming videos or viewing images taken with the d807’s 1.3 megapixel camera. On the d807, an external memory slot, supporting microSD memory cards, allows for additional external content storage.

“Samsung’s industry leadership is based on our ability to deliver innovative phone designs, especially as consumers demand thinner and sleeker devices,” said Peter Skaryzynski, senior vice president, Samsung. “When consumers choose one of our slim phones, they are getting an intelligently designed handset that integrates the best features and functionality on the market.”

Samsung’s growing U.S. portfolio of ultra-slim phones is part of the company’s aggressive global strategy in the slim phone category, demonstrating how quickly and effectively Samsung recognizes and acts on consumer demands. While Samsung delivers on developing smaller and thinner mobile phones, the company does so without compromising on reliability or on providing premium multimedia capabilities.

Samsung’s reputation to develop slim designs with advanced features started early with the introduction of the company’s first 9.8mm mobile phone, the SPH-N2000, for Korea in 2001. Samsung will continue to introduce additional slim concept designs throughout the world with various form factors and features.

Global products announced earlier this year and on display at CTIA include the credit-card sized SGH-P300 phone, which measures 8.9 mm and comes packed with a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player and advanced video recording capabilities. Samsung’s SGH-D870 is the world’s thinnest three megapixel camera phone in a slider form factor, and the SGH-D520 and SCH-Z540 are both slim, elegantly design multimedia phones.
