What's better than a touchscreen phone? Why, two touchscreen phones. What's better than two touchscreen phones? Why, one phone with two touchscreens. That's the theory behind the Samsung G400 Dual Touch Chic, anyway, one of a gazillion new Samsung handsets debuting at the Mobile World Conference this week.
Considering this is their first all-metal cased flip-phone, you have to say Samsung stepped the market up a notch, even if those touch controls are strictly MP3-related. The fact that they put touch control on both sides of a very thin strip of metal (the closed phone is 0.6" thick) is fairly cool. And it's nicely convenient to have easy access to those controls whether the phone's open or not. Now let's see them make those controls cross over into a few more features... like, say, phone calls.
Otherwise, the Dual Touch Chic is your fairly standard Samsung top-end cell phone... RDS-powered FM radio, 100 MB storage with microSD slot, and a 5 megapixel camera that's now officially the standard weight for top-end phones. It'll also be eligible for a SquareTrade cell phone warranty, with optional Accidental Damage coverage.
Want it? You'll have to wait until late April or early May, and save up some dollars... expect a price tag in the mid-$400 range.
