Samsung Sleek

Just a while ago, we spotted Boost Mobile making news with Motorola Rambler, a stylish phone for texting enthusiasts. Now, the company invades the touchscreen segment with the Samsung Seek handset. Featuring a slide-out QWERTY keypad, the device offers seamless access to various messaging options and SNS.

The GPS enabled Sleek complements Boost Mobile Monthly Unlimited offer which bundles together features like nationwide voice, text messaging, web, e-mail, IM and calls to 411. All these attractive options can be enjoyed for $50 (approx Rs. 2,342) per month without any yearly contract.

“Boost Mobile continues to bring its customers high-quality, versatile phones that don’t break the bank,” commented Neil Lindsay, chief marketing officer, Boost Mobile. “Combining the stunning features of the Seek with the $50 Monthly Unlimited plan makes this pairing the perfect option for heavy-texting, feature-craving wireless users on a tight budget.”

Adorning a 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen display, the handset features a 1.3MP camera, stereo Bluetooth capabilities, music player, multimedia and text messaging options. Additionally, users can access Gmail, MSN, Yahoo! whereas the microSD card supports up to 32GB storage. The Samsung Sleek offers voice mail, caller ID, call waiting, call forwarding and speakerphone with voice recognition. Users can also download games, wallpapers and ringtones as per their convenience.

Samsung Seek will be available for $149.99 (approx Rs. 7,026) beginning August 25, 2010. The phone can now be grabbed from Boost Mobile exclusive retail stores and select independent wireless dealer locations. The Seek is anticipated to be made available at Best Buy and RadioShack by this month end. Apart from this, the Seek will be hitting Sprint stores in September and Target in October.
