After the recent release of the Graphite edition Samsung U900 Soul a new colour variant has today been launched on O2 in the UK.

The new Samsung Soul Silver edition offers exactly the same great technology, design and features as the previous model but now comes in a sleek, shrome silver finished exterior that really sets the phone apart from the graphite model.

The Samsung Soul Silver is a classy looking slide design mobile phone, in a stainless steel shell. The handset has a 5.0 megapixel camera, with autofocus and flash, and also includes an MP3 player and Bluetooth compatibility. The U900 Soul has a solid feel and weighs nicely in the hand. A slide phone, the noticeable feature about the U900 Soul is the addition of a touchpad style control panel on the front of the phone. It looks and feels similar to a touchpad found on a laptop PC. The Samsung U900 Soul is a full featured 3G phone supporting HSDPA Mobile Broadband, as well as having an email client, web browser and support for Java.

A built in 5.0 megapixel camera, with auto focus and flash, the Samsung U900 Soul on O2 takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog

HSDPA on the Samsung Soul offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is commonly known as Mobile Broadband

The Samsung Soul features Bluetooth 2.0 which is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.

With a built in music player in the Samsung U900 Soul on O2, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.

With a Stereo FM Radio built in, you will always have access to the latest tunes on your phone. Tune in to your favourite station, whenever you want, straight from your phone

The O2 Samsung u900 has an email client, which will allow you to receive email from your own personal email account, and send pictures, videos or text emails to any email account anywhere in the world. Email access on the phone is simple to set up and a cost effective way of keeping in touch.

Although initially released on O2, the Samsung U900 Soul Silver is expected to be launched on further UK networks very shortly which will increase the number of tariffs available to consumers and make finding the right package a much easier experience.
