Samsung are a force to be reckoned with, and they have phones that threaten to take over the feature phone AND smartphone worlds. Let’s check out three of the best.

Samsung Tocco Ultra

What if you want a phone that has both a touchscreen AND a keypad? Then say hello to the Samsung Tocco Ultra, which combines the touchscreen goodness of the original Tocco, with the sleek looks of the Ultra Edition series, to make a phone that’s shockingly thin, considering it includes both a huge touchscreen, and a full alphanumeric keypad. The Samsung Tocco Ultra also inherits the TouchWiz interface from its predecessor, and that makes for an incredible user experience. The features also include an 8 megapixel camera.

Samsung I7500

The first important fact about the Samsung I7500, and the bit that has made it so talked about, is its operating system: Google Android. As it’s only the second phone to officially go on sale using Android, the Samsung I7500 has garnered an awful lot of trade and consumer interest. Even more importantly, the Samsung I7500 is the best-looking Android phone to feature a keyboard-less, touchscreen-only design, a thing that seems to be all the rage in 2009. It’s easily more of a looker than any previous Android phones, and that fusion of enhanced looks and the still-awesome power of Android makes the Samsung I7500 a very compelling phone indeed. If innovation is your thing, this is the phone for you.

Samsung i8910 HD

As nice as the Samsung Tocco Ultra is, however, it’s overshadowed by its ‘big brother’, the Samsung i8910 HD. There’s a very good reason for that. Whilst it, like the Samsung Tocco Ultra has an 8 megapixel camera, the Samsung i8910 HD is also the first phone to record true 720p HD video. Never before has a phone been able to capture video at that massive high resolution, and coincidentally (or is it coincidence? Maybe not…), the Samsung i8910 HD captures high-def video at the exact quality that Youtube display high-def videos at. It’s very possible that the Samsung i8910 HD was designed with its main feature being the ability to get yourself on Youtube, in high-definition. And while the Samsung I7500 has the sleek Android interface, the Samsung i8910 HD combines its TouchWiz interface with Symbian, giving it true sleekness, as well as power. Now add the sumptuous 3.7 inch screen, and a huge 8Gb of internal memory, and it’s very clear that the Samsung i8910 HD not only shows the difference between feature phones and smartphones, but also, is one of the best phones ever made!
