Samsung has been on a roll lately, when it comes to introducing great looking and dependable phones. The Samsung SPH-B5800 has a lot of incredible features that will make die-hard geeks blush. For someone on the go, this phone will probably do the job.

The Samsung SPH-B5800 provides users with traffic information updated every five minutes, as well as information about famous local restaurants and travel guides via terrestrial DMB channels. Existing Global Positioning Systems(GPS) are limited to guiding drivers on a specific route using an embedded map, but Samsung’s B5800 shows current traffic conditions as “cleared”, “sluggish” or “congested,” and guides drivers with the optimal route to their destinations. Users can also compare routes that reflect traffic conditions.

Wow. Now your phone can tell you the best route to take home from any destination! As if GPS wasn’t already incredibly helpful, this system goes one step further and determines routing based on what’s happening right now. For this feature alone, this phone is worth looking at.

This phone is currently a Korea-only release, so no word yet on availability or price.
