Samsung S5600 Mobile Phone is the Welsh phone, and is to be “ready for sales” by September 1 2009.

Since the phone language isWelsh, even the menu settings are displayed in the same. While unveiling this mobile phone, Heritage Minister Mr.Alun Ffred Jones appreciated that both the organisations are responding to the users’ demands. Available in three different flavours (white, black and purple), most of the people in Wales are happy about a mobile phone in their mother tongue.

It is reported that a major slice of the market are waiting for the launch of this handset.
