Samsung’s SGH-F258 Will Make it Rain in the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Hallyu Pop star Rain made his debut as Samsung’s latest image model at the Samsung-Rain Press conference this weekend. Rain unveiled his version of the Beijing Olympic theme song and he will be shooting a music video on the 22nd of February.

According to site PChome, Samsung has also introduced the Rain Phone. Although there has been countless celebrities promoting Samsung Anycall phones in the past (Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Hyori, Lee Jun-ki, and BoA comes to mind), this is the first time Samsung has named a phone after an artist.

Samsung hopes to increase sales of this phone, especially during the Olympic season. Samsung’s philosophy – “never stop dreaming, never give up, keep pursuing your dreams ‘till they come true” can be reflected in Rain’s own pursue of his dreams. This is why he has been chosen to represent the mega company at one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events. The Rain Phone (Samsung music handphone SGH-F258) is available in China and Hong Kong. Samsung plans to release other products in this series later.

 

Congratulations to Bi and I can’t wait to see him in the new Anycall CF’s!
