It seems that every few days new information about Samsung Trance is leaked. Today we received some exclusive images of the Trance, confirming that it will be a slider with a hidden numeric keypad and a touch control pad, similar to the LG Venus. The images also show that there will be a 3.5mm headset jack, which we're very glad to see, and a microSDHC card slot. The rear of the phone shows one large speaker at the top, but we don't see any Bang & Olufsen branding. Unlike the Juke, the Trance will have a Mobile Web 2.0 browser, but will still lack EVDO for data. The device is expected out sometime in Q2. Hopefully it will be on display at CTIA later this month.
