First details have emerged concerning Samsung’s new S7330 GT Series cell phone which, based on first impressions, appears to be a somewhat cheaper version of Samsung’s U900 Soul in offering a strikingly similar design whilst cutting back on many of the Soul’s features in order to obtain a more pocket friendly price point.

A Quad band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) handset, the Samsung S7330 GT Series comes with a QVGA 320×240 resolution 16M colour LCD primary display supplemented by a secondary touchpad display featuring the Soul’s ‘Magical Touch’ DaCP and sports GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA (up to 3.6 Mbps – whereas the U900 manages 7.2 Mbps) connectivity paired with Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR, a front mounted camera allowing for video calling and a rear mounted 3.2MP main camera and integrated FM tuner complete with RDS.

Offering a purported battery life of up to 7 hours talktime and up to 350 hours standby, Samsung’s new S7330 GT Series cell phone is due to go on sale next month with prices for an unsubsidised handset being touted as being in the region of a (far from budget) $500 – that said, we expect network providers to offer the S7330 GT at a greatly reduced price tag.
