As one of the first devices to be released on Cingular's new UMTS 3G network, the Samsung SGH-ZX10 integrates multimedia with broadband connectivity. Featuring a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera, an integrated MP3 player, and a TransFlash memory card slot to store all the files, the ZX10 is a capable entertainment package with email access and real-time chat on the leading instant messaging clients.

But the highlight of the ZX10 is its ability to harness broadband data rates for video streaming. Offering popular programming through Cingular Video, consumers can watch shows on the road including breaking news updates from major media networks (NBC News, FOX News, and CNN), kids programming (The Cartoon Network and Disney Channel) and even award-winning shows from HBO like "The Sopranos," "Sex and The City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Entourage."

Costing a nominal subscription fee for video service, the ZX10 promises customers a complete mobile lifestyle unseen from any Cingular device today.
