Samsung have revealed their latest range, the Samsung Shark series, which aims to deliver social networking functions to the entry-level market.

Three models will be available: the candy bar Samsung S5350 Shark, and two sliders – the Shark 2 S5550 and the more basic S3550, imaginatively dubbed the Shark 3.

Each handset has widgets that let you access Facebook, Myspace, Bebo and other social networks via your homescreen.

The Samsung Communities app then makes a doddle of both uploading to and viewing from Flickr, Photobucket and YouTube.

A press release said:

“The Shark series has been created for active, multimedia-hungry users who value style and design as much as they value constant access to their social networks.”

Sporting a sleek metal body and ergonomic design, the Samsung Shark series proves that entry-level doesn’t necessarily have to feel cheap.

Added functionality includes Mobile Tracker, a security feature that can sends a SOS message to a pre-determined contact whenever the SIM card is changed.

No word on pricing yet, but watch out for Samsung Sharks swimming around our deal pages sometime later this month!
