Samsung SGH-F700 (Ultra Smart/Qbowl)
The SGH-F700, also known under the name Ultra Smart F700, is a smartphone developed by Samsung Electronics. This device was launched utilizing Vodafone as its network partner and made its debut at the 3GSM World Congress event in February 2007. It became available for purchase in European markets starting November 2007.
Featuring a 3.2-inch color display, the phone integrates a touchscreen interface combined with a sliding QWERTY keyboard for input. It is equipped with a 3.15-megapixel camera, although initial rumors suggested a 5-megapixel sensor. Connectivity options include support for HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, USB, and microSD memory card slots.
Samsung filed a design patent in South Korea for this black handset with rounded corners and a rectangular shape in December 2006, preceding the release of the iPhone but following the launch of the HTC TyTn, to which it bears some resemblance due to its form factor and slide-out keyboard.
The device's full operation is managed through its touchscreen interface, utilizing the "Croix UI," which was honored with the iF Communication Design Award in 2007. According to a review by Trusted Reviews, the Ultra Smart F700 was praised for outperforming the iPhone at the time.
In May 2008, this model was also introduced to the market as the Samsung U940 Glyde through Verizon Wireless.
The SGH-F700 was later replaced by the Samsung F490 in 2008, while its more affordable counterpart, the F480, gained recognition as the Samsung Tocco.
