Published on Saturday, March 28, 2009 by git Samsung are obviously not of two minds about two-in-one phones.

Published on Saturday, March 28, 2009 by git Sony Ericsson R306 Radio is quite unusually set to revolve around one single thing – listening to radio on-the-go. Its built-in radio tuner works in both FM and AM. The lower midrange R306 Radio delivers on other fronts too – it packs a 1.3 megapixel camera plus Bluetooth and USB connectivity. It’s compact enough but also offers two surprisingly capable ster...
