Samsung's iPhone rival gears up for launch

19 November 2007

Samsung's new touchscreen F700 smartphone is now on sale.

Many have tipped the F700 to be a serious rival to Apple's iPhone, partly due to the fact that the device sports a fully touch-sensitive screen, complete with VibeTonz technology (a vibrating haptic style response). At 3.2-inches wide, the screen is a great portal for watching videos and surfing the internet with HSDPA speeds of up to 3.6Mpbs adding to the experience.

As well as the touchscreen, the F700 comes with a side positioned slide out QWERTY keyboard, a three-megapixel camera complete with auto-focus and 1GB of internal memory with an additional 1GB memory card to help support the impressive music player. Available exclusively to Vodafone, the F700 is compatible with the operator's new MusicStation portal, where users can download unlimited music for only £1.99 per week
