Samsung has unveiled a new mobile phone that features some of the sleek design and functions of Apple’s much-hyped iPhone.

Samsung’s Ultra Smart F700 will be exhibited at next week’s 3GSM World Congress, a telecommunications exhibition in Barcelona, Samsung spokeswoman Sonia Kim said on Friday.

Mobile phone makers have been scrambling to match the iPhone, unveiled last month by Apple CEO
Steve Jobs. The device, which will be available starting in June, marks the iPod and
Mac computer maker’s entry into the mobile phone business.
