The Samsung SGH-T100 is a tri-band GSM feature phone developed and manufactured by South Korean company Samsung Electronics,[1] introduced at the CeBIT fair in 2002. It is a flip phone with a color display, and is an upgraded version of the SGH-A800 which had a monochrome internal LCD screen instead.[2]
The Samsung SGH-T100 was the first mobile phone to use a thin-film transistor active matrix LCD display; prior to the release of the SGH-T100 all phones had used passive matrix display technology.[3] It was also the first GSM phone displaying 4096 shades of colours - previous colour phones like Ericsson T68 could only do 256 colours.[4]
The T100 became popular for its stylish looks, display and polyphonic ringtones, and was credited for bringing typically Japanese technologies to GSM markets like Europe.[5] By 2003, the T100 had sold over 10 million units worldwide, becoming Samsung's first to reach this milestone.[1] The T100 was succeeded by Samsung SGH-T200.
Above the T100, Samsung offered in 2002 the SGH-S100, a handset aimed more at professionals that has many extra features like GPRS and support for Java apps. The top model, SGH-V100, had GPRS capability as well as the possibility to view short video clips in MPEG-4 format.[6]
