Samsung has launched two fashion phones for the fairer sex. The L310 and L320 clamshell phones are aimed at the fashion-conscious woman.

The L310 clamshell, available in black and gold, is a tri-band handset with a 1.8-inch TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. What makes it so feminine (apart from its uber-feminine form), are the applications that Samsung has thoughtfully incorporated into the device – including apps that assist in shopping and counting calories. It’s a very compact handset (with dimensions of 93.4 x 44 x 17.9 mm) and is equipped with Bluetooth and USB 2.0. It has a 2-megapixel camera as well as a microSD card slot, and supports GPRS and EDGE for Internet connectivity.

Samsung's second fashion phone is the L320, also a clamshell. However, unlike the L310, Samsung has made this one a little curvier. It has an external OLED display and a 1.9-inch internal TFT LCD with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. Features include Bluetooth and USB connectivity as well as GPRS and EDGE for net connectivity. It comes with a microSD slot for external memory and a 2-megapixel camera.

Both phones are set to hit selected markets in February. The L310 is priced approximately Euro 240 (Rs 13,846) and the L320 will cost around Euro 220 (Rs 12,695). No word on whether it’s hit stores here.
