Music phones are becoming a preferred choice for patrons not wanting to carry with them more than one device while outside, with cell-phones offering constantly rising memory and updated music software there's now space for storage on a par with top standalone MP3 Players like the iPods to save enough tracks and playlists to keep most music fans satisfied.

Samsung Mobile released a new music telephone that took this a step further with the Samsung X830, the telephone was designed much with an MP3 player under consideration and due to its size and dimensions was capable of being worn round the neck on a lanyard making it simpler to wear earphones instead of concealed in an insider pocket.

Moving on from the X830, the maker has released 2 upgraded versions with a better camera resolution, updated music software and an expanded feature set, these new devices are a part of the new F-Series of Samsung telephones and share the same compact design as the X830 in the sense that they too can be worn round the neck.

The new handsets are the Samsung F200

Feature the unique swivel actions of the X830, while the user simply slides the beneath of the telephone around 180 degrees to bare the keypad and effectively doubles the length of the telephone so that the gap between the speaker and the mike are an ideal fit to the face. The F200 version is not offering a camera it concentrates solely on music, calls and text.

The Samsung F200 is a much more fascinating device that provides a 2.0 megapixel camera compared to the 1.3 megapixel of the X830 as well as a terribly healthy built-in memory of 1GB that may be expanded further with the utilising of MicroSD memory cards. The F200 is really a touch bigger than the first X830 simply to house the additional features and blueprint but only weighs 2g more at only 76g so may not be uncomfortable when worn round the neck. The outside of the telephone is finished in a light gray graphite color and offers a metallic jog dial that gives access to the music player, phonebook and menu functions when the handset is closed.

Other F200 features include TriBand frequency for worldwide rambling, Bluetooth technology for wireless connections to compatible devices for information transference and hands-free conversation, integrated music player with the choice to create playlists and an FM radio for keeping updated with local and state stories and weather reports as well as enjoying a new tune.
