Though chunky smartphones have their own following, it seems that slim and sleek also appeals to a considerable number of mobile phone users out there. At the forefront of the slimmest and sleekest of mobile phones, we have Samsung. Originally available in Asian markets only, Samsung slim phones used to be out of reach for those in the Americas. With the news from AT&T though, it seems that we are finally going to be able to get our hands on these nifty gadgets.

Just how thin are these phones? The Samsung A717 is a mere 13mm thick – or thin for that matter. How in the world did they fit a 2 megapixel camera in there? As for the 727 it is even more amazing – 9 mm thin and a 1.3 megapixel camera!

Aside from the looks, what has Samsung got for its American market? For starters, this pair (the Ultra Edition duo) is quad band GSM and dual band HSDPA. It has got Bluetooth – of course – and a microSD slot. That is not all! How about sharing some videos among your circle of friends? This duo has this capability!

Are you thinking what I am thinking? How about the price? Here comes the good part – the A717 is going for $150 while the A727 is going for $100!!! Of course, these price tags come with a contract. Still, for what you get and the price it is pretty worth it.
