Samsung launch Messager (SCH-r450)

August 9th, 2008

We like sliders, a lot, so needless to say we quite like the latest mobile offering from Samsung, the horizontal QWERTY slider, the Messager aka SCH-r450. The Messager is available to customers at MetroPCS and Samsung retail outlets. Whilst not heavy on bells and whistles, the Messager boasts everything you’d expect

* Horizontal Slider with QWERTY Keyboard
* Stereo Bluetooth Wireless Technology for hands free use
* MP3 Player (microSD expansion for up to 2 GB of tunes)
* 1.3 Mp Camera
* Messaging Services including SMS, MMS, email and IM messaging
* Advanced Voice Recognition
* Speakerphone
* Dimensions: 4.4” x 2.0” x 0.7”
* Display: 2.1” 262K TFT, 176X220 pixels

What about the price tag, I hear you say. Well at MetroPCS the Samsung Messager rocks in at US$200 without shackles. Not bad for a neat little slider phone.
