Samsung Shows SGH-E840 Slide - World’s Thinnest
Samsung’s new SGH-E840 is what the company calls the slimmest slider phone in the world. At 10.6mm (.42″), that may just be the case. In any event, this quad-band GSM/EDGE handset sports features like a 2.2″ QVGA (240×320 pixel) display, a 2 megapixel digital camera, and a MP3/WMA/AAC+/AAC music player.
The slimline E840 also comes equipped with 70MB of internal storage as well as a microSD memory expansion slot that can be used to add as much as 2GB of additional storage. Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity are also available for moving contacts, images, and other files around. The E840 also ships with the Access NetFront web browser, a document viewer for email attachments, and Java support.
With specs like that, as well as a mirrored, tempered glass front face, the 99g (3.5oz) E840 is certain to gain the attention of trend setters in the Southeast Asian markets where it will be available this month. No word yet on what the retail price of the E840 will be.
