Chart topping girl band, The Saturdays, today launched SAMSUNG’s new touch-screen handset, Genio Touch as the phone hit the shops in the UK. The colourful, distinctive handsets are a great way for the band to keep in touch when they’re on the road as they make it easy to post updates to their Twitter sites, upload photos to Facebook or browse the web.

Samsung Genio Touch is instantly recognisable, thanks to its distinctive curvy design and colourful cover. Choose from Jamaican Yellow, Minimal White, Festival Orange or Cupid Pink and get started instantly with its quick, easy-to-use graphical interface.

“We love the fact the Samsung Genio Touch comes in such bright colours! We’ve all chosen our favourite ones and have found it so easy to upload our status updates and favourite photos to Facebook and Twitter. We hope our fans will catch our new single ‘Forever is Over’ on the FM radio on the phone. The Samsung Genio Touch is just perfect for us!” said Vanessa, Mollie, Frankie, Rochelle and Una from The Saturdays.

A cute, neat package (103 x 56.5 x 12mm), the handset is packed full of features you’d expect on more expensive touch-screen devices. One finger zoom lets you zoom in and out and smart unlock lets you unlock the phone by drawing a chosen letter on the screen.

Other features include:
• Haptic feedback – the touchscreen recognises your touch making it easy to use
• Make the phone your own – customise the phone by dragging and dropping widgets and apps onto your home screen
• See what your friends are up to – see friends’ status updates via the Genio Touch’s simple pop up SNS (social networking sites) notification feature
• Get out of sticky situations with the popular ‘fake call’ option
• Direct access to You Tube, Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket
• FM radio

“We’ve designed the Samsung Genio Touch specifically for the youth market. This segment is fiercely competitive and it’s a growth area where you can’t afford to compromise on features or looks. I believe the Genio Touch resonates well within this ever demanding audience. We all believe Samsung Genio Touch will be a hit and create a real buzz in the marketplace.” Mark Mitchinson, Vice President, SAMSUNG Mobile UK & Ireland.

The Samsung Genio Touch is available from all major mobile phone retailers. The Yellow Genio Touch is exclusively available from Carphone Warehouse.
