Samsung F700 flies

Samsung’s market share has slipped over the past month, but Mitchinson reckons the F700 (pictured) will see it reassert its buoyancy ahead of Christmas.

“On Vodafone, the F700 is selling extremely well,” he said. “It is on a par with the G800. Hopefully we will pick up some market share.”

Meanwhile Samsung’s Susan Land has taken on marketing for the networks as well as retail and distribution, in a new head of marketing role.
