Samsung announced its new “spirit of Ultra” in bar form factor.Soulb is not only beautiful to stare at from the outside, but it is also fully equipped with attractive up-to-date features inside. An embedded 3-megapixel camera with Power LED, office document viewer and editor, full speed internet browser and Bluetooth v.2.0 will fully support convenience users need without compromising style.

Quality entertainment features such as music player, video editor and recorder and FM radio with RDS are also embedded within Soulb. 1GB internal memory and microSD slot provides sufficient space for users to store all the music and pictures they love.

Willcom, Sanyo and Microsoft co-developed the Willcom 03 slider phone, also known as the WS020SH. The top panel features virtual navigation keys, similar in execution to those on the Samsung Soul, that appear on a 3-inch touch-sensitive LCD, and add a number pad when needed. Sliding the top panel open reveals a full QWERTY keyboard. One-segment streaming digital TV is displayed on the 480×800 resolution screen thanks to the handset’s Flash Lite 3.0 software.

The handset is among the first Willcom products to make use of Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS, which works with a 512MHz processor and 128MB of RAM to support applications. Opera Mobile 9.5 and Internet Explorer Mobile act as the Internet browsers, with a W-ZERO3 mail client keeping emails organized. Adobe Reader LE is included for PDF file viewing.

Available in pink, gold or lime, the Willcom 03 will start shipping in Japan this October, with a suggested price of an equivalent of nearly $610.
