Two companies from South Korean, Samsung and LG, of course don’t want to be defeated. Samsung presents SGH-U700. In the meantime LG launch Shine KU970. Both products are support 3,5G (HSDPA).

SGH-U700 is one of four phones which included in Ultra Edition II series. The shift phone thickness is only 12,1 mm. SGH-U700 uses TFT LCD 262.144 colours and have 2,2 inchs screen size. The letter and picture display is very sharp and smooth.

When slider is shifted, the phone screens automatically on and come into views four addition buttons. Buttons in U700 face side will react if getting touch. Because most phones requests the user to press the button, not only touchs it, SGH-U700 new user need to adapt. The same with formerly experienced by user of LG Chocolate phone, user usually get adapt after using it in 2-3 days.

Main camera of U700 which has 3,2 megapixel resolution only seen when slider is opened. The camera performance which equipped by autofocus and the flash lamp function can be said great. Small letters printed in my book, the example, able to be catchs fine. But, at low ligh condition, the several setting of white balance automatically works not optimal. As a result, photo yielded turns yellow.

When does video conversation through the 3G network or HSDPA, U700 user can use VGA camera which locate in screen upper right. Phone user can record the video conversation. Other alternative, capture the picture which existing at the screen and saves it as photo file.

With certain settin, U700 can be automatically sends SMS to rejected call. This phone wallpaper can be arranged like a slides show which shows user choice photo. Using of MP3 file is limited, only can be played and made as phone ringtone. User cannot use it as SMS alert.

Thousand multiple entry name phonebook and music player which use IcePower technology, creation of Bang & Olufsen is some of other U700 feature. There is also a bluetooth, voice recorder, auto reject, and microSD slot. In specs sheet mentioned that the phone internal memory having 20 MB capacities. In fact, internal memory of U700 which tested reaches around 41 MB.
