14th February 2010 A
sneak peek at some upcoming models courtesy of Samsung's
MWC Flickr Account shows some unannounced devices due to be
showcased at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona next week.
Samsung Monte Slider E2550
Launched just days after the Samsung
Monte S5620, the Samsung Monte Slider E2550
is a very different beast.
The E2550 looks to be a basic slider phone, but
sharing the same glossy back, navigation key layout
and a few other styling elements from its bigger
and more powerful sibling.
The pictures give away very little, but it does
appear to have just a basic 128 x 160 pixel display
(CORRECTION: it's a small 2.0" QVGA
panel) .
Not a huge surprise perhaps given that the Monte
Slider finds itself in Samsung's "E Series"
of budget phones.

Samsung Monte Bar C3200
A more interesting device than the slider, the
Samsung Monte Bar C3200 is a conventional
monoblock design, but is shares the slight wedge
shape that the touchscreen phone has.
The screen is much larger than the slider, appearing
to be a QVGA panel, and the Monte Bar also comes
with a microSD card slot. We can't see a front-facing
camera, so we assume that this is a GSM-only device.
The matt ribbed pattern on the back of the Monte
Bar indicates that perhaps the phone has been ruggedised
a little.

Samsung E2370
It might not look like much to begin with, but
the Samsung E2370 does appear to be very
similar to the Samsung
B2100, a surprise best-seller from last year
and a handset that we like for its almost indestructible
qualities and sheer sense of fun.
There's a flashlight visible at the top of the
phone, and the overall ribbing and shape is very
similar to the B2100, the display also seems to
be a basic 128 x 160 pixel panel which is again
the same as the B2100.
As far as we can tell, the major physical difference
is a slightly different keyboard layout, but who
knows what Samsung might reveal.
