Since Samsung entered the UK mobile phones market some seven years ago they have used their far east headquarters to consistently release new and innovatively designed models that have been envied by other manufacturers.
Innovations such as the Samsung X830 which was the first ever 'Stick' phone designed to be worn on a lanyard around the neck as opposed to being kept in a pocket or handbag, the X830 was a music orientated phone that was designed with similar dimensions to many normal MP3 Players, however, the deice also offered fully functional call and receive functions as well as an integrated digital camera making it a device that negated the need to carry an individual camera, MP3 Player and mobile phone.

The X830 was a very light handset weighing just 74g and measuring only 85mm in length and the newest release from the 'Stick' range follows these dimensions closely.
The new Samsung F210 Purple Edition only adds 2g to the overall weight and 2.7mm to the length but it packs in far more features and upgraded software.
The camera has been upgraded from 1.3 to a 2.0 megapixels with a flash for poor light condition photography, a digital zoom for close up picture capture and support for video recording and playback.
The memory of the F210 is far larger than the X830 and offers 1GB of storage space, enough for up to 1000 music tracks plus with the use of MicroSD cards it can be expanded further to cater for extra pictures, video clips and music files.
The internal music software has been improved and users can upload tracks from their PC via a Micro USB cable and then arrange and organise them into playlists to suit genre, mood or tempo whilst the sound output has been upgraded to produce 3D sound effects to enhance the listening experience, there is also an integrated FM radio for listening to new music and keeping informed of local weather conditions and news.
The Samsung F210 still features the trademark swivel opening of the X830 which involves turning the main display screen around 180 degrees to reveal the keypad and activate the handset. Another feature that has stood the test of time is the metallic dial pad situated just underneath the main screen, this is used for navigating the menu system and can be used whilst the phone is closed to operate the music player.
The F210 Purple may be the first of many colour variant releases as UK retailer Phones4U have secured an exclusive contract with the manufacturer and pop band Girls Aloud to sell a branded model of the handset featuring content such as the bands latest single, themes and ringtones. There are also plans, as with the original X830 to release the model in a range of new colours including Pink, Blue and Black versions.
The new Samsung F210 is a welcome edition to the 'Stick' range and will no doubt tempt some X830 users to upgrade their mobile phones, it offers similar specifications and dimensions but the features have been upgraded to compete with a growing market in music orientated phones.
