Samsung's Diva Phones Are Really, Really Girly

Nov 20 2009, 10:58am CST | by Robert Evans

Two new Samsung phones have just been snapped by Samsung Hub. The first mobile is the S5150 Olivia, and the second is the S7070 smartphone. Both of these new devices are seriously girly. I can't tell if this is brilliant or foolish marketing.

The Olivia is a clamshell feature phone with a silver body that looks almost rhine-stoned. It has a 2.2" QVGA display, a 3 MP camera, and appears to be composed of about 60% estrogen. The S7070 is a standard touchscreen smartphone with a 5 MP camera, 3" WQVGA resistive touchscreen, Bluetooth, microSD slot, and FM radio. It's got a checkered, pearl-colored back and what looks like a gemstone for a 'home' key.

Both of these phones are set to hit in Q1 2010. Both phones will be marketed under the "Diva" brand. If any of you ladies (or brave, effeminate men) think either of these phones looks like a good buy, let us know in the comments.
