Samsung Electronics’ innovations were showcased with the introduction of its GPRS and folder phones with true multimedia capabilities. Trade visitors were invited to make free calls from the rows of SGH-T100 mobile phones at CommunicAsia 2002. Three General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) phones – the SGH-S200, SGH-S100 and SGH-Q300 – showcased Samsung’s ability to offer true multimedia.
