Samsung pulls the big guns on Nokia, Motorola, Sony and LG

U900Samsung is trying to make more big noise in the mobile phone market. I don't think there's really any need for additional concern about this from Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK). I also don't think they'll be quaking in their boots over at Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT). Life will probably continue to be good for LG. However, Samsung really wants to move some phones in the UK and to do that, it's calling out the big guns like Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE). I don't think there's danger in store for the iPhone, but I'm sure they're talking about this situation over at Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL).

In conjunction with a smattering of mobile service providers, Samsung is bundling it's new Soul U900 cell phones with some of today's hottest electronic equipment. For instance, if UK consumers purchase a Samsung Soul U900, and contract with T-Mobile for 18 months in it's Flext 35 service plan, those consumers will receive a FREE Wii system plus Wii Sports! Likewise, If UK consumers buy the phone and contract with Orange Panther 75, they can receive a FREE XBOX 360 Elite!. For the time being, these deals appear to only be available in the United Kingdom. Could this marketing strategy move to the U.S.? One can only hope.

In the mean time, Samsung is also creating some fairly interesting video marketing materials. In my opinion, the video below doesn't do much for the marketing of cell phones, but it's pretty cool none the less. It's called simply; "10 optical Illusions in 2 minutes." Enjoy!
