Samsung Mobile has launched "the UK's very first camera phone to feature a swivel hinge screen that can twist through 180 degrees" which, says Samsung optimistically, "provides camcorder-like convenience when taking pictures." Welcome the SGH-V200!

Well, apart from that excitement, it's not just another camera phone. It's Multimedia Messaging Enabled (MMS) enabled too. There's also "One-touch digital zooming and digital brightness" control, and up to 100 images can be stored on the handset.

It displays up to 65,000 colours on its TFD LCD screen with 128 x 160 pixels, is a tri-band phone and has GPRS data. Standard features include predictive text input (T9), animated wallpapers, calendar, currency converter, alarm clock, PIM (Personal Information Management) features and vibrate alert. The standard battery allows for up to five hours talk time and 120 hours standby, with "up to" four hours talk time and 100 hours standby on the slim battery.

There are twenty five polyphonic ringtones stored within the phone and users can download five of their favourite at one time via the Samsung Fan Club (http://uk.samsungmobile.com/index.jsp)

A new graphical look

The T610 features a high-resolution screen with 65,536 colors.

More importantly, the T610 takes advantage of the large screen by introducing a graphical interface that focuses on ease of use. Soft keys make applications easier and faster to use. Hotlinks in menus give you direct access to various services. Animated icons and color add life to the desktop and menus. A large screen also equals space: You will find four rows of menu icons instead of three - and, of course, plenty of room for your messages.
