Samsung is going to come out a extremely thin mobile phone SGH-P300. The P300 shares a footprint no bigger than a credit card and is just look like a calculator.
At just 87.5 x 54.5 x 8.9mm (think credit card size), the P300 is extremely thin. So it's amazing Samsung's engineers have managed to stuff this skinny 65g number (137g with case) with most of the multimedia bells and whistles. Onboard is support for triband capability, a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash, about 80MB of built-in storage, 4MB for Java applications, Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 player, dictaphone, speaker and alarm clock. It even packs a 1.8-inch (176 × 220-pixel) 262k-color TFT LCD display, which delivers the vivid colors expected of a Samsung even while under bright sunlight.
With a phone this slim, it's pleasant to discover that the 800mAh Lithium-ion battery is removable. But what's far more interesting is the leather cover the phone "docks" into. In an out-of-the-box creative effort, Samsung has integrated a 400mAh Lithium-polymer battery into the case to extend the battery life. There's even a camera window in the case so you don't have to remove the P300 to snap those shots.
The onboard speaker proved surprisingly loud and clear, though not as full in sound quality as the Walkman phone series.
