The SCH-B590: Samsung shoots for another "world's thinnest"

by Chris Ziegler posted Sep 6th 2006 at 11:25AM

True, it's a full 9.6mm thicker than their paper-thin X820, but believe it or not, that's still apparently thin enough for Samsung to claim their SCH-B590 is the world's thinnest phone with DMB. As you might expect, you give up some goodness to minimize the bulge in your pocket; the SCH-B590 gets off with a measly 1.3-megapixel cam, not to mention a fairly pedestrian clamshell design -- none of that rotating slider nonsense here. Expect the B590 to drop on Korea's SK Telecom for around 500,000 won (about $520).
