Designed to help users "stand out in a crowd," the slider-equipped HSDPA i560 also comes complete with Symbian S60 and marries cutting-edge technology alongside elegant aesthetics. Much like the i550, the i560 offers high-speed Internet access and also delivers content management, a 2.4-inch full colour display screen, a 3.0 megapixel camera (with flash function), FM radio, and GPS navigation capabilities. The Samsung i560 will arrive on Vodafone in November of 2007.

The Samsung i780 is described as "the ultimate ultra-slim smartphone designed for the on-the-go busy professional," and it certainly looks the part regarding its smart and stylish design, and its skinny 12.8mm thickness. Unlike the i550 and i560, the new HSDPA i780 comes complete with Windows Pocket PC and also delivers Wi-Fi connectivity, a 2.55-inch full colour display screen, and GPS navigation.
