Samsung has expanded its Soul range of handsets, with the S330, though a mid-end handset feature-wise, its price tag, at around $500, says otherwise. Judging by its looks, the S330 has taken a lot of design cues from its sibling, the U900 Soul, however it certainly looks a lot cheaper and doesn’t seem even half as attractive. It should become generally available sometime next month.
