Samsung yesterday introduced a new slider phone called M520. M520 is GPS capable. The navigation service is offered by TeleNav and it features audio and visual turn-by-turn driving directions, and more than 10 million local listings.

Press release additionally talks about Microsoft’s Live Search for Sprint saying it can supply GPS-enabled directions, interactive maps which makes us wonder why anyone would pay for TeleNav’s paid service. possibly for turn-by-turn directions?

Offered exclusively by Sprint, M520 plus offers Sprint TV which has more

than 50 channels of on demand video and music channels.

Additional features of the M520 by Samsung include stereo Bluetooth with audio caller ID, audio player, 1.3MP camera with 2x digital zoom and camcorder. plus it has supports microSD cards upto 4GB.

Samsung M520 is already available in stores and you can get it for only $50 with a 2-year contract. whether you don’t want the 2 year slavery deal you’ll have to pay $250.
