Samsung has launched its ultra-thin 'super 3G' slider phone in Europe for the second time this year, having first touted the 13.8mm thick handset back in August (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2006/08/30/samsung_launches_ultra_edition/) this year. It's Samsung's first phone with Google search and Mail pre-installed.

The SGH-Z720 - aka Ultra Edition 13.8 - incoporates a 1.8Mbps-capable HSDPA radio that will also connect across GSM, GPRS, EDGE and 3G networks. The handset also boasts a three megapixel camera with autofocus, and a 2.1in, 240 x 320, 262,144-colour screen.

The 80g phone measures 10.5 x 5.1 x 1.4cm. It has a MicroSD slot for memory expansion, and Bluetooth for headset connectivity. ®
