Measuring 4×1.97×0.55 (HWD), the Samsung Trance is a performance oriented cell phone. The Trance looks very stylish and elegant due to curvaceous front panel that looks like a violin. The handset is available from Verizon Wireless for the $49.99, with a two year service agreement.
The handset sports a color rich 2.1-inch display, which has native resolution of 176×229 pixels and supports 262k colors.

The Trance’s navigation array is touch-sensitive and consists of four way toggle with central OK button, two soft keys, Clear button, and dedicated music player key. The dedicated music player controls also opens the playlist, while the four way toggle doubles as shortcut for three user-defined functions and My Shortcuts dialog box.
The handset uses the slider mechanism to hide the keypad and other controls, which include dedicated camera control, Send key, and Talk/End keys. As expected, the keypad features flat keys, which are separated via dividers.
