Bell Canada has announced the exclusive availability of Samsung's much-anticipated SPH-m610 multimedia mobile phone, which sets a new design standard as the thinnest phone available in North America.

Available only from Bell, Samsung's m610 is packed with high-end features such as a 2 megapixel camera with zoom lens, MP3 player, video camcorder and Bluetooth wireless technology capabilities - all wrapped up in an ultra-slim design less than a half-inch thick.

"Powered by the Bell Mobility high-speed mobile network, the Samsung m610 gives today's sophisticated mobile users the best of all worlds - a sleek and stylish design and the ultimate in multimedia functionality," said Adel Bazerghi, Vice President, Products for Bell Mobility. "With stereo sound and a large full-colour screen, this super-thin phone is ideal to take advantage of Bell Mobility mobile data services such as mobile music, movies and TV."

"Consumers today 'think thin' when it comes to mobile phone design, but they 'think big' when it comes to multimedia features. The slick Samsung m610 hits the mark with style on both counts," said Robert Parker, Vice President, Wireless Terminals, Samsung Electronics Canada, Inc.
