It is the age of experimentation and innovation, and the mobile phone industry is all geared up to compete in the high speed race circuit alongside some of the major industries in the world today. However, this is not the only race that has people sitting by the edge of their chairs. There is another highly intensified speed circuit within the mobile phone industry, in which a number of manufacturers race it out against each other with their prized models. A new high flying contender that has been sighted in this competition is the Samsung Z720 McLaren, which is a winning collaboration between Samsung, Vodafone, and McLaren Mercedes.

The Samsung Z720 McLaren is an ultra edition 3G/HSDPA slider phone that has seen the light of the day after an eventful tie-up between leading mobile telecommunications group Vodafone and the Formula 1 winner Mercedes McLaren. In a campaign based effort to support the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 team for the year 2007, South Korean manufacturer Samsung has carved out a sheer beauty of a mobile phone.

The 2.1 Inch TFT colour screen of this phone provides a rich display of colours with a 5-way navigation button for optimised user friendliness. Taking photography to a new level, the Samsung Z720 McLaren incorporates a 3.0 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash, and digital zoom. A major attraction of this stylish phone is its MP3 player, which pumps out powerful tunes in a number of music formats, and is flanked by an FM radio and a mobile TV function to give mobile entertainment a new dimension. The Tri Band phone presents users with high speed data sharing ability through connectivity channels like Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, and GPRS.

The Samsung Z720 McLaren offers special tribute to the renowned F1 racing team through its chrome silver getup with the McLaren trademark red lines bordering the keypad, and videos of the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes circuit contender.
