Android Phone On Samsung Coming In Mid Of 2009

On the courtesy of Omio.com, the renowned news source of mobile phone industry interviewed Samsung GM for UK and Ireland “Derek Williamson” regarding Samsung line up in 2009 and the Android Phone. Here is a brief description of the conversation.

OMIO: The original Samsung Tocco seemed to provide the best of both worlds, a high end experience on a bargain handset, and was a top seller of 2008 as a consequence. Was that your intention?

The Tocco is a beautiful device. The Tocco is still there, still performing well, and you’ll see our flagship product continuing the name in the UK as the Tocco Ultra. I think that’s recognition there is still a lot of momentum in Tocco, and both products will sit comfortably together in the marketplace.
By the very naming of it, the Samsung Tocco Ultra is the enhanced version, over and above the original. So the huge benefits of new ways of interaction, the full touch support will all be seen as a good way to appeal that handset to a wider part of the market.

OMIO: How are you aiming to market these two devices, will they have any cross-promotion?
We are aiming to ride of the momentum of the original Tocco, our above-the-line and channel marketing has recently been refreshed. We are looking to begin with the Tocco Ultra on the second or third week of March. That will become the new, very visible face of Samsung.

The Samsung recorded some excellent results, but struggled in the single-cell call set up and maintenance areas. The SE C905 was a largely consistent performer, but had some weak areas. The Nokia performed well in setup, but less well in some of the call maintenance tests. The two RIM handsets performed very differently with the Bold performing much better than the Storm.
