Samsung are to release the new E900 mobile phone, set to battle it out with the LG KG800
Friday, May 05, 2006
Samsung have brought forward the release of their Samsung E900 mobile phone by six weeks to go head to head with the LG KG800 mobile phone.
Last weeks debut of the LG KG800 Chocolate in The Carphone Warehouse was hampered when around 50 customers had to have their handsets replaced due to the entire first batch of LG KG800’s that were dispatched with the wrong chargers. Although this was a little embarrassing for LG the mistake was rectified within 36 hours.
Samsung are expected to use more aggressive pricing along with higher specifications to try and out sell the LG KG800 Chocolate mobile phone. A source has claimed that the June launch of the Samsung E900 will be accompanied by a marketing budget of approximately £2m.
The Samsung E900 and the LG KG800 do look very similar with their square design which is becoming very popular, even with Nokia who have taken it on board with their Nokia 6280 mobile phone.
The Samsung E900 weighs 93g, 93 x 45 x 16.5mm in size, and has a 240 x 320 pixel, 256k colour display. Other features include GPRS class 10, EDGE modem 236.8 kbps, USB, Bluetooth, WAP 2.0/xHTML browser, 2 megapixel camera, 1600 x 1200 pixel video, MP3 player, TV output, 80 MB embedded memory, and microSD (Transflash) to name a few.
Only time will tell whether the Samsung E900 or the LG KG800 chocolate will be more popular.
