Samsung will this month offer its latest slimline slider phone to European consumers, pitching the 1.6cm-thick, "easy-to-grip" device's Bluetooth 1.2-based wireless stereo playback and 80MB of on-board music storage at "the modernist and music appreciator in you".

The SGH-D520 also sports a 126 x 220, 262,144-colour screen and a 1.3 megapixel digicam with flash. The phone has a tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM/GPRS receiver. The whole shebang weighs a mere 93g.

Samsung said it will ship the D520 in South-East Asia as well as Europe this month. ®
