It's the slimmest clamshell phone to date!

During CommunicAsia 2006 in Singapore, Samsung introduced its newest line of ultra slim cellphones. It just happened that the most notable of the phones was the Ultra Edition 9.9 D830. This clamshell phone is only 9.9mm thick (or thin) but has all the necessary standard features of a mobile phone and more - all contained in its 85g body.

The D830 has a 2.3-inch Color TFT screen, a media player and Bluetooth and USB connectivity. It comes with a 2-megapixel camera, an 80MB embedded memory, an external memory slot for added storage, and an enhanced user interface with uSearch and uMenu features.

Another great feature of this phone is the design itself - it's sleek and elegant yet still easy to use. The stylish Samsung D830 comes in a variety of colors; but as always, Samsung's trademark black looks will catch consumers' eyes most as these contrast remarkably well with the slim phone's user interface and keypad design.

No word yet on its price and date of availability. We'll keep you posted.
