Samsung B7300 For The Budget Minded

"In fact, the leaked pictures we're looking at here are China Mobile-branded, suggesting that the 3G- and WiFi-free device will find a home in an area of the world where EDGE doesn't matter much, much less HSDPA. Specs are said to include a WQVGA display, GPS, Bluetooth and USB 2.0, and quadband GSM, so at least you'll be able to take this puppy wherever you need to go -- and the 12.98mm-thin shell helps make the case, too."
Hey, not everyone wants or can afford an always-on internet connection. In fact, given that China's going it's own way with respect to 3G means that a super-spiffing HSPA device won't pull its weight there anyway. Having said that, Samsung might have paid a bit more attention to the looks of the B7300. If the low-end of the market is where you're at then any differentiation you can muster is worth a look at, what with the competition in that segment.
