Samsung C170 updates low-cost phones

The newest Samsung phone is the C170, which will be shipping to Europe later this month. While positioned as a budget model, the phone still has an attractive candybar design, which is augmented by staggered buttons with plenty of surface area for increased comfort. Thickness is just 0.08 inches greater than the company's Ultra Edition phones. The 170 supports dual-band GSM (900/1800MHz), and has WAP 1.2.1 web browsing, enabled through GPRS. A phonebook, speakerphone, FM radio tuner and voice recording are counted among the phone's other features, but crucially, there is only 600KB of onboard memory. A larger photo can be found below.
