Samsung was showing off a number of new phones at 3GSM this year. As usual for the Korean company, it's never quite clear which phones are officially announced, and which are being "previewed". But we can certainly show you what we saw in the booth...

The SGH-E880 is a sleek new high-end, slide-style GSM phone.

The E880 is tri-band (900/1800/1900), and sports a rotating 1 megapixel camera with flash and PictBridge printing. A music player (MP3 and AAC) and streaming video player are included, as well as Bluetooth and Outlook-compatible SyncML.

As rumored, the SGH-E720 basically combines the features of the D500 with the clamshell design of the E710 and E715.

Key features include a megapixel camera with flash, music player (MP3 and AAC), a generous 88 MB of memory, and Bluetooth. Just like the E880, video capture, SyncML, and a 260,000-color hi-res (176 x 220) TFT display are also part of the package.

The SGH-E730 is very similar to the E720. The only major differences are the styling and the addition of an FM radio.
