Touch Screen Mobiles: Part III - Haptics
By: Shayne Rana   |   Mar 24, 2008

Samsung U900 Soul

Samsung’s Soul is a classy high-end slider with a metallic finish. Its 5 megapixel autofocus camera uses image stabilization technology. It comes with 128MB of internal memory and supports external memory via microSD card. What makes the handset unique enough for our feature is its navigation system that, like the others in this category, employs haptic feedback and intuitive displays.

Underneath the 2.2-inch TFT display is a smaller touch-sensitive 1.2 icch OLED navigation panel that uses icons to depict various functions being used. This system, called Magical Touch (by Samsung), enables the icons to change according to the functions chosen. The Soul has Bluetooth with A2DP, a media player, FM radio, and supports 3G.

 


As I said earlier, these phones have not yet made it to India. They are expected sometime in the next four months, hopefully sooner than later. The technology is here and is already employed in small ways in phones like the Motorola RAZR2 V8’ s external display that has three touch-sensitive keys just below its small external display. Haptics seems to be the wave of the future, but it’s also here now.

If there are any more phones in this category that you mobile maniacs may have heard of, please do share the news with us on our forums – or leave a comment below.
