Lately Mobile phone design has branched off into two distinct factions. On the one hand you have phones that are trying, with great success, to encompass more and more of the attributes of PDAs and digital cameras within a single, versatile unit and, on the other hand, you have phones that, whilst not as feature packed are pushing technology in a differing direction by trying to become increasingly smaller.
The Samsung P310, in becoming one of the world’s thinnest mobiles (the X828 is actually the thinnest phone in the world – see below), certainly falls into the latter category though not at the expense of an impressive range of features.
Due to be released to the European market in late September, although the P310 measures a mere 8.5mm in thickness (with the same length and width of a credit card) it still manages to feature a 2 megapixel camera and a healthy eighty megabytes of on-board memory in which to store not only pictures but MP3s, whilst navigation around the generously proportioned 262K 1.9 inch QVGA screen is facilitated by a touch sensitive soft key.
Naturally, the phone also boasts full GPRS and Bluetooth connectivity.
