The Samsung BEAT DISC (also called the M6710) has a bit of a silly name, presumably to make it seem "exciting". The thing is, the BEAT DISC is a pretty exciting phone without having to give it such a strange sounding name.

 Samsung BEATDISC Closely related to the BEAT DJ, the BEAT DISC is a little more conventional in appearance, but it still shares some of the styling and the B&O ICEpower amplifier of its bigger sibling.

Samsung say that this has a "half touch" display. and it does appear that the lower portion of the screen is touch-sensitive. It also comes with the DISC UI music interface, which gives the BEAT DISC its name.

The display is a 2.6" 240 x 400 pixel panel in 16 million colours, making it a fairly large display for this class of phone. The BEAT DISC also comes with stereo Bluetooth, an FM radio, microSD expandable memory (up to 16GB), a 3.5 mm audio socket and stereo speakers.

On the back is a fairly basic 3 megapixel camera with a slightly disappointing video capture quality of 320 x 240 pixels at 15 frames per second. Still, this is primarily a music phone.. and this is something it seems to do very well.

This is a 3.5G phone with a maximum download speed of 7.2 Mbps over HSDPA, it also supports quad-band GSM. There's no WiFi on the BEAT DISC, but the USB 2.0 HS connector should make file transfers very easy.

Samsung did not give any guidance on price, but did say that the BEAT DISC should be available from Q2 2009.
