The Samsung Monte S5620 is an upcoming touchscreen phone that looks quite interesting, but the confusingly named Samsung Monte Slider E2550 is completely different. Apart from the name and the Samsung badge, there is very little in common between these two devices apart from some styling details.

Like the disappointing Samsung Shark range, the Monte slider is.. well, disappointing. In fact, it's not far off the specification of the Samsung Shark 3 which is a similarly underpowered slider phone.
