Samsung’s Live Loud campaign has struck their packaging and made it look kick ass. Currently, Samsung Mobile have a few phones launched for their Live Loud Campaign and this includes a phone we recently got to view – the Samsung SGH F400.

The interesting thing about the latter form is that the touch sensitive navigation is made of rubber for easier thumb gripping and scrolling. Ingenious really! This …read more
