Samsung P110 (SGH-P110)

Expected 2007
13th February 2007

We often criticise Samsung for producing almost identical slider phones.. but the SGH-P110 demonstrates that they are perfectly capable of coming up with something radically different and interesting to look at.

There are two striking features on the Samsung P110 - one is the multiway hinge that allows the display to be moved into just about any orientation you might need, and the second is the two-way keyboard which provides standard numeric functions one way and a QWERTY keypad the other way. This is not quite the first time we've seen this arrangement, the short-lived Motorola MPx did something a little similar, but it is an unusual approach and it certainly makes the SGH-P110 stand out from the crowd.

At the time of going to press, the full technical specifications of the Samsung P110 are now known, but we do know that it has a 2.1" 176x220 pixel switching display, a basic VGA resolution camera, a media player and stereo Bluetooth, 25MB of internal memory, and instant messaging support. Underneath is a tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz device with GPRS and EDGE. The SGH-P110 measures 91 x 47 x 20mm.

Samsung haven't said if the SGH-P110 comes with expandable memory or not, but it would be unusual for a multimedia capable phone such as this to not have expandable memory - in the meantime we suggest that you check before ordering. Samsung also haven't made it clear if the P110 has an email client, but it would be silly to have a QWERTY keyboard if it didn't.

We don't know when the SGH-P110 will be available or how much it will cost, but we feel that this type of handset could appeal to a significant niche market.
