Yesterday we, and with “we” I mean the Samsung mobilers :) , had a great and interesting day at the Samsung headquarter.

Samsung mobilers … what’s that?

The mobilers are 3 groups, each of 6 persons with diverse backgrounds and interests, that were chosen from a pool of 230 interested parties for this promotion, who will dive into the mobile phone  scene to generate a lot of ideas concerning the improvement of mobile phones and mobile applications.

Every mobiler is equipped with a brand new Samsung Galaxy mobile phone with the android operating system. The idea behind all this is, that average consumers now can talk about their pain with mobile phones, say what is missing or could be done better, to improve mobile phones and help Samsung with the development.
The workshop included presentations about marketing, distribution and business model generation, and of course, a brief introduction to the android operating system on the Samsung Galaxy. We also had a great tour through the Samsung World Hall, the presentation room that shows almost the whole product range of Samsung … wow, did you know, that Samsung produces fridges, backing ovens and washing machines, ha, now I got you ;) Another interesting thing: “SAM SUNG” means “Three Stars”.

The mobilers promotion isn’t a small thing at all: The president of Samsung germany, Sunny Lee, had a few words for us and we are the first mobilers group that improves this promotion outside of asia … awesome!

As you know, I’m already an android user and also developer and I have the HTC Magic since the beginning of this year. I now have the chance to test the devices against each other and tell you about my experience. Just give me some time to get to know the Galaxy better, some buttons are placed at different locations and I have to set up the same applications that I have installed on my HTC. One thing that I can already tell: The display of the Galaxy is better. It’s brighter and the colors are more brilliant than on the HTC Magic.

If you’re interested in the mobilers activities, our twitter tag is #mobilers. As you can see, I came up with a new blog-category especially for the mobilers and will give you updates every now and then. By time, I will also need your help to get your opinion and needs in the mobile world. I hope that you can spare some time for me then to help me get my job done.

Finally I have a few pics for you of the Samsung World Hall with their products:
