    Samsung Releases a Trio of Music Phones

    Samsung has launched three music phones that are "100 per cent music, 100 per cent phone," according to the Korean electronics giant. We've already seen the i450 which slides to reveal a speaker, and the skinny swivel-stick design of the F210, but this is the first time we've seen the F330, which has a full internet browser, as well as HSDPA, 2 Megapixel camera and music recognition. Full stats are below.
