Samsung announces Star S5230 and Preston S5600 touchscreen phones
Never resting on their laurels, Samsung has just cranked out two new touchscreen handsets for this year: Star S5230 and Preston S5600. There’s no mistaking these as Samsungs given their looks — you can tell they’re obviously related to the Instinct and the Behold. The S5230 is a 2.5G handset (really?) coupled with a 3-inch WQVGA display and the S5600 sports 3G and features a 2.8-inch QVGA display. No pricing is available but expect to hear about it soon as the handsets launch in Europe and Asia this month.
YAWN. Where is my Omnia Pro Press Release Hmm Samsung? (WM6.1 > 6.5 upgrade, WVGA Capacative OLED Display, QWERTY, 5MP with Xen0n and AF)
Those look like the Android Sammy’s coming this year
So many handsets with the same looks, almost (!) The same specs. Disappointing. At least RIM has amny devices as well but different styling, and the specs varies too. Look at the nwe ‘gemini’ yeah it lacks 3G but it has more memory, and a trackPad for a change. But samsung. Has 1 new product, followed by 3-4 cloned versions. What’s the point?
2.5G? wow………….
When will Samsung stop releasing 9827349812734 phones that are cosmetic variations on the same phone??
Yeah, Its not even catered to different demographics, and it dosent have different OS versions (like RIM) it seems that they just want to produce that many handsets so they’l top the charts one day.
Do these have OLED display!?
If these are anything like the Samsung Glide, I’ll pass. Last time I touched a Samsung Touchscreen phone, It sucked hard.
AARONAARONAARON
I work in a cell phone accessory shop and when I played with the Samsung A867, the touchscreen was amazingly responsive for a resistive face. However, the majority of resistive touch phones on the market still suck major ass and Samsung are just dicking about with these phones. Why not only create a dozen phones every year, one for each demographic and make them spectacular?
Here why dont yous all just stop moanin.. Yous all just sound like a bunch of specky twats… Samsung are makin money arent they? Thats all that matters.. Tits.
