The Samsung P310

Of late, mobile phone design has branched off into two distinct factions. On the one hand you have phones that are trying, with great success, to encompass more and more of the attributes of PDAs and digital cameras within a single, versatile unit and, on the other hand, you have phones that, whilst not as feature packed are pushing technology in a differing direction by trying to become increasingly smaller.

The Samsung P310, in becoming one of the world’s thinnest mobiles (the X828 is actually the thinnest phone in the world - see below), certainly falls into the latter category though not at the expense of an impressive range of features.
