Samsung's X820 + 3G = SGH-Z370

by Chris Ziegler, posted Sep 1st 2006 at 6:29PM

We're always willing to sacrifice a couple millimeters to add 3G data to our handset, particularly when said handset clocks in at a positively anorexic 6.9mm thick. Samsung's hoping its European customers agree, taking their paper-thin X820, adding UMTS, and rechristening it the SGH-Z370. Besides the addition of some wicked fast data, the Z370 throws in a microSD slot for good measure, all while adding a mere 1.5mm to the thickness of the phone -- that still leaves it a good 2.6mm thinner than a SLVR, for the record. We don't expect the Z370 to come in an American flavor, but for what it's worth, it did just hop the FCC fence this week.

And I might add, they all feature that clever new interface, where the background pictures change from day to night in real time and show cloudy skies if the phone reception is poor. It's surprisingly useful once you get the hang of it.
