Samsung SGH-t509
South Korea’s Samsung said it will sell the slimmest cell phone in the United States, aimming to compete with the US market leader Motorola’s popular Razr line.
Equipped with a color screen for playing videos and an external memory slot, the silver, candy bar-shapped t509 is 9.8mm thick, which make it thinner than the 11.5mm popular Motorola’s Slvr.
The new phone, which is too thin to squeeze in components for photo taking found in most advanced cellphones, will hit the store shelves in the second quarter along with the d807, another skinny phone with a sliding lid.
