12th April 2005 - Samsung Electronics will showcase
its third satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting
(DMB) mobile phone (SCH-B200) at MIPTV/MILIA in
Cannes, France from April 11 to 15, following
the release of the SCH-B100 and SCH-B130.
Samsung’s new B200 boasts a horizontal screen
that allows users not only to benefit from easier
viewing of DMB services, but also to comfortably
enjoy multimedia functions, such as photography
and games. In addition, it is the first model
to adopt Samsung’s innovative “slide
and rotation” form factor, where the screen
slides up and rotates horizontally, further enhancing
user convenience.

Its large capacity battery (1300mAh) allows users to
continuously view the screen for more than three hours,
resolving the battery-depletion problem that has plagued
DMB phones. The B200 also has a 2-megapixel camera,
allowing users to enjoy photo quality that is as good
as digital cameras. The versatile phone offers a variety
of multimedia functions, including MP3 player and video
viewing and users can enjoy clear video reception through
the phone’s 260,000-color, 2.2-inch wide LCD screen.
Moreover, the B200 provides a TV-out function, while
supporting an external memory and offering a file-viewing
function which allows fingertip access to a variety
of files, such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
Samsung Electronics plans to release the B200 within
the first half of this year. The company launched Korea’s
first satellite DMB phone (SCH-B100) in January of this
year and has recently completed the development of a
terrestrial DMB phone (SPH-B1200).
The MIPTV/MILIA is one of the world’s largest
broadcasting and audiovisual exhibitions. Traditionally
an exhibition for broadcasting and film companies, more
and more telecommunications companies are participating
in the event with the growing convergence of the telecommunications
and broadcasting industries.
