Also known as the UpStage – Samsung's M260 is a two-faced iPhone fighter. There's no news yet as to when the Samsung M260 will arrive in the UK, but as PC Advisor's Samsung M260 review shows, it will be worth the wait.
Music fans seeking a small, chic phone should take a look at Samsung M260's design and - in the US at least - its inexpensive price. See also Nokia N95 review. (click here for Apple iPhone hands on preview)

The least pocket-filling of all the phones we checked out, the 0.4-inch-thin UpStage uses a two-faced design: a keypad on one side, media player on the
Tiny and light (2.6 ounces). Decent 1.3-megapixel camera. Included battery pack doubles as protective case. Access to Sprint TV and its Music Store; 99-cent song downloads on the go

Alas, the Apple iPhone is still months away. While you're waiting, why not check out Samsung's UpStage, one of the niftiest music-oriented cell phones running,...
Ultra-portable at a nearly-Nano-sized 2.7 ounces and 4 x 1.8 x 0.4 inches. Excellent audio output; handles a wide variety of music formats and offers a decent 10.5 hours of playing time. Striking appearance really turns heads
Included 64MB microSD card is essentially useless. Weak talk time at under 3 hours. Touchy controls require lots of practice and patience. Proprietary headphone connector juts out the side. Repeated problems trying to access memory card. Difficult to...

The Samsung UpStage is a gorgeous reinvention of the music phone, but it lacks software to make it work properly.
Beautiful. Slim. Unique design.
Frustrating software.

The UpStage is a fashionable device that features a dual-sided candy bar design. One side is used as a phone, while the other side is for music, videos, and all other menu options. The phone is remarkably thin and light, which makes it easy to take...

The inventive Samsung UpStage for Sprint brings together good design and functionality into a supremely elegant handset. Aesthetically-savvy folks will love this phone for its clever and compact convergence of music player and phone
