New launches from Samsung: U100, U300, U600 and U700

Samsung came with fresh technology at 3GSM Congress in Barcelona. Samsung launched the new U series: U100 (picture above left), U300(above right), U600 and U700 (below).
The U100 looks very nice. It is only 6mm thin. That’s impressive! The phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, EDGE, multimedia features. But the main problem is the memory. The Samsung U100 doesn’t have a memory card slot and 70MB are not enough for such a phone.
What about Samsung U300? It is a clamshell about 9.6mm thin and features like U100 3.2 megapixel camera, EDGE, stereo Bluetooth, document viewer and MP3 player. Here the same problem - no expandable memory.
The others, U600 and U700 are some cool sliders. Personally, I find those two more interesting like a clamshell. The U600 has the same features like U100 and U300, but it has a microSD card slot. The Samsung U600 is a quad-band phone and it measures 11mm thin.
The U700 model is a 3G device supporting high speed mobile broadband (HSDPA), so you can download data at up to 3.6Mbps. It also features an HTML browser. The other options are the same with U600.
Advice: If you want good battery life, you shouldn’t expect to much from these thin phones, because the battery life isn’t a key advantage of these mobiles.
