At MWC 2010 in Barcelona we had a chance to pop around to the Samsung stand to sample the delights of the new Samsung Divas range. Whilst there we and the people from DemoDone.com had a chance to captures some footage and see the handsets in operation.
The Diva range is specifically aimed at women and the more flamboyant members of society, and so they come in the form of the Samsung S7070 Diva and the Samsung S5150 Olivia.
The Samsung S7070 is a touchscreen smart phone with a 3 inch WQVGA display that supports Samsung’s usual TouchWiz UI, plus a 5MP autofocus camera, Bluetooth, microUSB, FM radio, MicroSD card support and with an outer back shell of the phone will be made with real leather.

The Samsung S5150 Olivia is a clamshell dual screen style phone with a mirrored finish and features a 2.2 inch QVGA internal display and a 3MP camera.

But the tech. isn’t what these handsets are about; the Samsung Diva range is all about style and features over the fastest and latest hardware. Both phones are specifically designed to appeal to ‘fashionable ladies’ as they have Diamond inspired stylings and features designed for the modern day woman.
Features include an “SOS Message mode” that when activated, will send an alerting text message to a predetermined local emergency service, “Fake Call mode “make the phone self-ring to enable ladies to discreetly and politely excuse themselves from awkward situations or un-necessary functions, plus a instant “etiquette mode”- allowing the device to be swiftly turned to silent modes without having to browse through a profile menu.
In addition to all this, with the now standard integrated features for Facebook, MySpace and Twitter available the Diva users can keep connected to all facets of their social life wherever they are, using a a new real-time system that will alert you when a friend messages you or updates their status on a social networking site.
Samsung also stated that these will be the first 2 handsets in a continuing line of Diva branded phones. So expect the Diva branding to reappear over the next couple of months with a few more shiny offerings.
