Samsung has a new phone out - the Samsung SPH-B3100, and at the moment it's available only in Korea. The Samsung SPH-B3100's design looks very similar to Nokia's N90 device. Another multimedia device, this one includes an MP3 player and supports DMB so you can watch TV on the go.

One of the striking features of the phone is the Synaptics MobileTouch interface for accessing music player controls. The interface provides for a thinner phone with a focus on music-on-demand (MOD) services which may become more of a reality than hype in 2006.

The 3-button interface is provided on the outside of this clamshell phone, with the sensor placed below the phone's plastic body making the phone sleeker. Very cool stuff from Synaptics - check it out.

Other interesting phone features include an FM stereo receiver and TV-out, and measures just 96mm x 49mm x 23 mm, weighing 130 grams (which is sad, really, but expected).

Details on the Samsung SPH-B3100 are available from Samsung. Details on MobileTouch are available from Synaptics.
