Samsung brings slim to the slider phone

I got a sneak peek at the Samsung D900 today and can report it lives up to its reputation as a slim slider phone. In fact, Samsung is going so far as to call it the "world's thinnest slider phone," but I'm sure that record won't last long. Still, the all-black D900 (a.k.a. "black carbon") is indeed sexy, and it packs a wide assortment of features into a body that is 0.5 inch thick. There's quadband world phone support, a 3.1-megapixel camera with video recording and playback, a Micro SD card clot, 80MB of internal memory, Bluetooth, USB support, and a digital music player. Availability isn't certain yet, but we expect it to be with a GSM carrier by the end of the year. Stay tuned for photos and video.
