Samsung preparing new phone?
Rumours abound that Samsung is preparing to launch a new Windows Mobile based handset. “So what?”, I hear you say. Let me tell you. This handset will not feature 3G or WiFi capabilities. Now, to some of you this might seem like a throwback to the Stone Ages but to me it’s actually quite logical. Many users buy a handset based on the looks rather than feature set preferring to leave browsing the web and checking emails to their trusty PC. In theory, this allows Samsung to reduce the price of the handset as the modem and WiFi features can be removed. Well, that’s the theory. I’m sure it will be tested when the new Samsung handset hits the market.
Here’s the specifications:
- Connectivity: Quadband GSM 850/900/1800/1900, with GPRS/EDGE support
- OS: Windows Mobile 6.1
- Screen: 2.8″ QVGA - 320 x 240 touchscreen, with haptic feedback support
- Camera: three megapixels
- Memory: MicroSDHC slot - up to 4GB supported
- Extras: GPS, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity, FM Radio
- Dimensions: 107×59x13.8mm - via pdasnews.com
