Samsung launches Guru200 candybar in India

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 13th 2008 at 5:06PM

At first glance this handset looks boring enough to make even a seasoned professional cry, but hold up just one hot second: it has at least one cool feature that we'd be willing to be a day's wage (not really) that your phone can't do. The Samsung Guru200 -- follow-on to the recently released Guru100 -- features FM radio recording, putting an extra twist on the regular FM radio that's virtually standard on every cellphone sold across India. Otherwise, yeah, it really is as boring as it looks, if you don't count a few software twists designed to cater to the Indian market. Look for it to launch for Rs. 2,999, which works out to about $71.

This is available in US with metroPCS (Spex R210A). Not sure about FM radio in the American version, though.
