Samsung announced the SGH-F700, an elegant phone for the European market with Vodafone. The phone was first introduced at 3GSM World Congress in February earlier this year and is expected to be available in Europe beginning early November. It delivers 3.6 Mbps data speeds under Vodafone's 3G broadband (HSDPA) network allowing users to experience fast access to the Internet and faster music downloads.

Using the new F700, business and creative professionals are able to view content on a 3.2" stunning color display.

With a full QWERTY key pad that slides underneath the display, it will give users enhanced access to mobile e-mail and text messaging services.

The F700 features new user interface which has been award iF Communication Design Award 2007. Samsung has employed analogue cross concept everywhere (across all applications) and has named the UI(User Interface) "Croix" which stands for cross in French.
