Released in the UK next week, this is the new S7070 'Diva' touch screen Phone from Samsung.
When it comes to phones, it seems that tech savvy ladies are often overlooked when it comes to handset design. Samsung have noticed this, and instead of just repackaging a handset in a shiny pink fascia they have decided to offer a whole lot more for the discerning lady.
Haute Couture
The phone's design is fashionable, but understated. The front of the phone is finished in an impressive silver and white with a raised diamond shaped navigation pad and just two 'call' and 'end' buttons. The 2.8" touchscreen is framed in chrome, giving the phone a touch of class.
Turning the phone over reveals a pearl, almost Chanel style 'quilted' back cover. The serenity of the back cover is only disturbed by the opening for the camera lens and a grille for the phone's speaker.
Striking Features
Inside too, the phone doesn't disappoint. There are some great specialist apps included that will appeal today's busy woman.
As you would expect from a modern touch screen phone, social networking plays a big part. With 'live updates' from all the major sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace.
Also included is a 'fake call' function; great for when you want to get out of that awkward date girls!
For more pressing engagements the S7070 offers a shopping list tool, making light work of even the most grueling retail therapy sessions.
The phone's camera also has some interesting features, including several effects that can be applied to images. Most interesting is the 'Lomo' effect, giving images a surreal artistic edge.
The phone uses the same intuitive TouchWiz 2.0 interface as the excellent Tocco Lite phone, so it will be familiar to anyone who has used Samsung's touch screen phones before.
All in all, it's great to see Samsung matching proven technology with some innovative new features.
The Samsung S7070 is available from Mobiles.co.uk - The low cost channel of The Carphone Warehouse.
