Samsung today announced the upcoming availability of the Beyonce Special Edition B'Phone by Samsung, a limited edition handset exclusive to Sprint. As an update to the Samsung UpStage, the B'Phone showcases a dual-sided design to optimize music capabilities with the look of an MP3 player on one side and a phone on the other.

The B'Phone comes complete with a preloaded special Beyonce-styled start-up screen. Consumers who purchase the B'Phone will receive exclusive access to load premium video and music content from http://www.sprint.com onto their handsets including exclusive Beyonce photo gallery and videos, as well as a childhood song from Beyonce at age 10.

Additional features available on the B'Phone include a 1.3MP camera and camcorder, MicroSD card slot that can support up to 2GB of external memory, an easy-to-access keyguard switch to prevent accidental dialing, and Wireless Backup to quickly restore contact information if your phone is lost or stolen.

An extended battery wallet in matching burgundy and gold is included with the phone to increase talk time up to approximately 6.3 hours or music listening for up to 14 hours. Dual battery gauges show remaining battery life in the extended battery wallet and the internal battery.

The B'Phone measures 4.07" x 1.73" x 0.37" and weighs just 2.57 ounces. The B'Phone will be available in limited quantities on November 4, 2007
