A slim 11.7mm waistline makes the Samsung S5250 a pocket friendly social phone with a smooth design. The 3.2 inch TFT capacitive touch screen display is ideal for showing off the TouchWiz 3.0 unique interface with widgets.

The Bada operating system uses a social hub to combine email, SMS, MMS, social networking and instant messages into the address book for ease of use. There's no 3G but Wi-Fi (also GPRS/EDGE) powers the web browser for a respectable browsing experience and with RSS feeds streamed to the phone important news updates are always only a tap away.

Media apps include a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash, photo editor and video record, a music/video player and stereo FM radio with RDS. A complete range of connectivity options include wireless Bluetooth, quad-band roaming, a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi and A-GPS support.
