For the Sviaz ExpoComm 2006 in Russia (10-13 May) Samsung will present their ultra slim phone SGH-X820.

The new bar phone is only 6.9 mm thick, but there is a hump on the top of the phone which makes it a bit thicker in that part.

It will hit the European markets (including Russia) in a week. In June it will be available in China under the SGH-X828 name.

Samsung also announced the SGH-D900 model, but no pictures are published so far. D900 will be a slim slider (13 mm) with 3 megapixel camera, QVGA display and microSD card slot.
