Samsung launches GALAXY 551 touch-screen smartphone with slide out QWERTY keyboard

Introducing a new member of the Samsung GALAXY family of smartphones  that combines the best of both worlds. This Android-based (2.2) smartphone combines a full  touch-screen with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This makes the Samsung GALAXY 551 ideal for those people that text a lot, and want a physical keyboard for easier input.

In fact it’s made for socialising through your mobile. The GALAXY 551 comes with the Samsung Social Hub pre-installed which combines all of your messaging, email, calendars, social networking and chat services into one screen. For each of your contacts you’ll be able to communicate with them how you want.

Here’s three great reasons to consider the Samsung GALAXY 551:

Full touchscreen with slide-out QWERTY keyboard: The touchscreen makes it easy to access the GALAXY 551's features including apps, as well as making it easy to navigate through the phone. The slide-out QWERTY keyboard is ideal for inputting long text, so you can communicate quickly and accurately.

Samsung Social Hub: The one-stop Samsung Social Hub is the go-to place for all your social communications, whether you're emailing someone, sending an SMS or MMS, connecting through social networking or initiating an Instant Messenger chat. Social Hub allows you to go to one place to access, organise and view all of these communications. Calendars are also synced and access to a full portfolio of Google services makes mobile communication and interaction much simpler.

Android Market™ & Samsung Apps: Easily expand the functionality of the Samsung GALAXY 551 with an abundant choice of applications, now available for download straight from the Android Market* and the Samsung Apps store*. The multitude of free and premium paid applications offered is sure to satisfy every desire.
