Samsung D720 (SGH-D720)

 Samsung D720 Cancelled
15th February 2005

We weren't expecting Samsung to come up with a Symbian smartphone, but here it is - the Samsung D720 runs the Symbian Series 60 operating system and comes with a 176x208 pixel 262,000 colour TFT display and one megapixel camera. Presumably, the D720 is a sliding phone like the D710 although it's hard to tell from the only photograph we have to hand.

It's a competent but fairly traditional smartphone specification. The 176x208 pixel display is the same at the Sony Ericsson P910 and most Nokia smartphones, memory is expandable through MMC cards, the SGH-D720 also comes with stereo speakers for MP3 and audio playback and Bluetooth.

As you might expect, the Samsung D720 also comes with an email client and web browser, video streaming, MMS and video messaging and Java. It can be connected to a PC or accessory using Bluetooth or a USB cable.

At 110 grams and 99x47x22 mm, the SGH-D720 is much lighter than most of its rivals, although how this translates into battery life is uncertain. It's a tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 handset with GPRS but there's no 3G or EDGE support.

We think the D720 looks a bit slablike, but from the specifications it seems to be a decent smartphone. The release date has yet to be confirmed.

Updated: it appears that the D720 will be available in 3G and EDGE configurations according to the market it's being sold in. If this is the case, it makes the D720 even more impressive.
