Samsung’s F500 is the ultimate personal multimedia device with a smart design and cutting-edge features, including dual LCD faces — one side is specific to making phone calls while the other contains a large screen and dedicated multimedia controls. The unique swivel design allows the screen to rotate away from the controls to adjust the viewing or form a stand to place the device down on a stationary surface. The F500 is a HSDPA-enabled phone and features a PMP function with wide 2.4″ screen as well as a 2.0 mega-pixel camera. With an internal memory of 400 MBs and expandable memory up to 2GBs (with microSD(TM) card) the F500 allows the user to view an estimate of two movies (each about two hours long).
