...devices will appeal to those who live luxe: Gwyneth Paltrow has already got hers. But though the company says Tom Ford has ordered one, his p.r. says he hasn't.

Since 1997, however, Samsung has begun rubbing shoulders with the market leaders in high-end cell phones, DVD players, elegant flat plasma TVs and a wide range of other consumer products. These gadgets are sometimes less expensive than those of Japanese or Finnish competitors - but by no means inferior. Which is pretty clear if you've tried to order an I300, the Palm-powered PDA that's really a phone (sorry, sold out), or if you feel embarrassed to answer your Motorola StarTAC in public because it's so ? yesteryear...
