Three Samsung Telecommunications America Handsets Named Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Award Honorees

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung) today announced the Samsung Ultra Music phone, SCH-i760 and SGH-a727 as International CES Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Awards Honorees. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the trade press to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products.

Samsung's 2007 CES honoree products continue in a long line of innovative design and engineering. The iconic slim Ultra Music phone handset is designed with dual LCD screens. While one side of the handset is devoted for making and receiving phone calls and phone menu functions, the reverse side has a larger LCD screen with an intuitive touch sensor menu and serves as a music player for MP3 and WMA files. The Ultra Music Phone, a union of slim style and function, maintains a sleek form factor and features stereo Bluetooth(R), MicroSD(TM) memory card slot and 1.3 megapixel camera.

The SCH-i760, Samsung's newest smartphone, is designed with a simple horizontal slide that reveals a full QWERTY keyboard. The SCH-i760 features a 1.3 megapixel camera and camcorder, MP3 player, as well as landscape and portrait display.

The Samsung SGH-a727, measuring just 8.9mm thick, is an ultra-slim bar- style phone packed with multimedia features. With HSDPA technology, the SGH- a727 allows for high-speed music, video and data downloads. The handset's 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture, MP3 player, Bluetooth(R) 2.0 technology, speakerphone, voice recognition and expandable memory slot prove it doesn't skimp on features.

Samsung's Ultra Music phone, SCH-i760 and SGH-a727 will be on display at the 2007 International CES in the Innovations Plus Showcase at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Booth #68747, as well as at Samsung's booth #11033.
