Samsung has released the new SGH-P310 CardPhone today. The phone is good looking, and loaded with features:

Samsung’s P310 offers superior portability with its slim and wide form factor. Designers and engineers managed to trim the Card Phone II to a mere 8.5mm in thickness. The P310 shed the P300’s retro look and wrapped itself in an elegant black color. Resembling a simple and clean credit card, the P310’s modern design is sure to attract the fashion-conscious and working professionals. The exquisitely designed P310 is the perfect companion for business users who desire a stylish premium feather-light mobile to serve their needs anytime, anywhere.

Samsung has been accused of having flat-styling in the past, but this phone exceeds others in that department. It’s sort of “cool” really.

Check out this extremely impressive list of extras:

Music Player
Video Player
3.2 Megapixel Camera
The phone stores and saves your favorite tunes on the embedded 80MB card

The company is quite pleased with the phone, as evidenced here:

Kitae Lee, President of the Telecommunication Network Business at Samsung Electronics, says “Samsung’s new Card Phone II is loaded with the latest multimedia features with a unique iconic design. Its mini compact size with essential multimedia features meets our highest standard of quality.” He adds, “Samsung mobiles have come a long way in mobile design and technology. We will strive to deliver the right balance of cutting-edge technology and superiorly designed mobiles to the market,” added Kitae Lee.

Releases are scheduled for the following markets:

1) September: Europe
2) October: Southeast Asia

I actually think Samsung will do well with this phone. The small size and feature list are impressive.
