Samsung Z140V Vodafone live! 3G UMTS Phone

Europe : Despite its compactness and low weight, the fourth Vodafone live! UMTS phone from Samsung - the new Samsung Z140V - is a genuine top performer. The black and silver clamshell phone weighs in at just over 100 grams. Nevertheless, the large display delivers excellent resolution with 176x220 pixels and 262,144 TFT colours, which enables top-quality mobile TV viewing.

The integrated digital camera has a digital zoom with a 2-speed function and is perfect for both snapshots and video recordings. To receive videotelephony images, it is simply rotated. And it has a blockbuster price. This multitalented UMTS phone only costs EUR 9.901 in conjunction with the UMTS Per-Minute Package Plus 200 and 500 tariffs.

Vodafone has launched the second Samsung UMTS model in response to customer demand for convenient UMTS phones, and it is the perfect addition to the 'small, lightweight and attractive' line. The new Z140V measures only 8.8 x 4.8 x 2.6 centimetres and, weighing in at only 105 grams, it is a genuine 'bantamweight' UMTS phone. It also has a very attractive design with a classic shape and a black and silver look that makes it an eye-catching clamshell phone.

One aspect that makes the Samsung Z140V attractive for many customers is the practically unbeatable combination of functional scope and price. The Samsung phone makes all UMTS-based services such as videotelephony6, mobile TV3 and playing back videoclips from the Vodafone live! portal a genuine pleasure. The phone's large display with 262,144 TFT colours ensures the perfect rendition of moving images and games. It is also ideal for users who enjoy taking their own snapshots or videos because the standard features include an integrated VGA digicam (640x480 pixels) that has an optical zoom with a 2-speed function. The UMTS phone has approximately 50 MB of internal dynamic memory for the storage of image files, ring tones and games.
