Unlike other manufacturers in the market, there aren't many mobile phones from Samsung that carters to niche markets. Most of the handsets from this global consumer electronics manufacturing giant are either concept models and mass product. But since last year, there has been a shift in focus from the mass market to smaller pockets of 'specialized' mobile phones. Samsung entered the music phone category with a couple of evolved solutions like X830 and more recently the Samsung F300.

The Samsung F300 is also being termed as 'Ultra Music' to make aware of its music playing capabilities. This music mobile phone is extremely slim, measuring just 9.4mm in thickness and is equally lightweight at 77 grams. Sturdy reinforced plastic and metal skeleton that shows through on the bottom end and the sides ensures that despite the slim and petite dimensions, the Samsung F300 doesn't snap in the back pocket of you tight pair of jeans! The Samsung F300 features a dual faced, sweeping touch design that gives a unique look to the mobile phone.

The candy bar handset is fitted with a 256k coloured TFT based screen on one side and another 65k coloured TFT display on the other. The handset comes in choices of three colours – Red, Black-Blue, and White-Orange combinations. Obviously, being a music phone, Samsung F300 is fitted with the best media player its designer could lay their hands on. Load a memory card with tracks in MP3, AAC, AAC+ or WMA format and start your exciting journey through the world of mobile music. The handset's internal memory pool is about 128 Mb, which in itself is good enough to store quite a few songs. Other features like built in speakers, dedicated music keys, A2DP Bluetooth stereo headset profile contributes to the overall mobile music experience with the Samsung F300.

Though music is the mainstay of this handset's USP, other features like 2.0 megapixel camera, triband GSM connectivity, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth, USB, FM radio makes sure that you don't miss out on anything modern mobile technology has to offer.
