Dubai, 06 September 2006: Samsung Gulf Electronics has unveiled the latest SGH-D900.
The D900 which is a state of the art world's slimmest slider, offers the most up-to-date in multimedia technology with premium slide-up design for business professionals.
It forms part of Samsung's "Ultra Edition" range, and the SGH-D900 also has the name Ultra Edition 12.9, the 12.9 referring to the thickness of the handset in millimeters. The 13mm slide-up is the thinnest slider ever designed with only 85 grams in weight.
It comes with a new and expanded interface system offering users the ultimate in convenience. Ranging from uGo to uTrack, uMenu and uSearch, these new interfaces offer a user-friendly navigation experience.
uGo
Jointly developed by Samsung and Adobe, uGo is an adaptive user interface that automatically responds to the user's environments.
The main screen will display a landmark picture of the city the user is located in, even adjusting the picture to the time of day or night, with added fun graphics and animation alerting the user of missed phone calls and other information.
The network strengths is reflected in the screen display picture: if the network is strong the sky gets brighter and if it is weak the sky gets darker. For the ME region, the landmarks included are: Burj al Arab in the UAE, the Pyramids in Egypt & Al Haram mosque in KSA.
uTrack
This function significantly increases the owners chances of recovering a lost or stolen phone by sending an SMS message to a pre-designated number to alert you of when the owners mobile's SIM card is changed. This helpful feature enables the owner to keep track of your mobile, even when it is no longer in its possession.
uMenu
Users can create a personalized menu of shortcuts to frequently-used features for ultra convenience. Users can directly access their favorite functions without having to navigate through numerous menu screens. Time saving and convenient, uMenu puts the user in control of its mobile.
uSearch
Users can search through their phone book in a fast and convenient way

In addition to the 3.13 megapixel camera, the Samsung D900 has a 2.1" 240x320 pixel TFT display, 60Mb of internal memory with microSD expansion, stereo Bluetooth, quad-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE.
