Here in the UK the range of mobile handsets available is rather limited. Even though there are physically a lot of different mobiles, they all follow one of a very few basic patterns: Candybay, Flip, Slide or Blackberry/Smartphone. There's nothing really interesting (and I include the RAZR and Chocolate handsets, both of which show more mass-market style than substance).
News coming out of Korea (via Akhibara News) has details on Samsung's SCH-B450, a dual-hinge handset with a rather nice set of features.
The handset features a DMB tuner, so you can watch TV on the handset, an integrated 3D graphics chip for mobile gaming (along with Immersion's VibeTonez for vibration feedback), a TV-Out so you can play those games on your TV, a 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player and the usual array of mobile phone features.
However, this handset is only being released in Korea…

Looking a bit like a D307 on performance-enhancing substances, Samsung’s new SCH-B450 is designed with entertainment in mind, and it’s packing enough tech!

This is upsetting, you are right the mobile phones we get in the UK are based just around a few designs. I have a N90 (far from happy with it)and at the time it came out (briefly in the UK) it was supposed to the main hot item… that really goes to show either how far behind we are – or just not willing to invest in some of the latest multi-function phones. You would have thought with the mobile web now playing more prominence and users disregarding their PDA’s for Smartphone’s we would be willing to take the step further and import some of the latest mobile devices.
