Samsung Continues Charge

In Australia, Nokia is by far the most popular and recalled mobile handset brand. But over the last couple of years, Motorola have invested a lot of money in getting consumers to demand their handsets from Telstra/Optus/Voda shops. But the sleeper is definately Samsung. Their sleek 3G handsets and ultra-slim 2.5G models are really getting people talking.

And now, fresh from Akihabara News (ohh.. to walk through 'Electric Town' again..), comes the SGH-X830. This Nano-esque MP3 machine squeals its way right into the 'pop culture-handset' vortex. If anyone has a Korean friend who can send me one, I will offer Ken Done tea-towels and cling-on Koalas in return.
