Samsung SPH-i600 makes sneak appearance

[Dave]

InfoSync World has a sneak preview of the new Samsung SPH-i600 with GPS (the most important feature)...

Featuring the not the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile for Smartphone platform but rather Smartphone 2002, the Samsung SPH-i600 has yet to be officially announced by Verizon Wireless, but will compete head-on with the recently announced Motorola MPx200 upon arrival. A tri-band GSM smartphone, the Motorola MPx200 is similarly powered by Smartphone 2002, and will be carried by AT&T Wireless in the US.

The SPH-i600 is an all-digital handset, offering 800 MHz CDMA and 1900 MHz PCS modes of operation. A clamshell design, the smartphone comes with the usual selection of software bundled with the Smartphone 2002, including Pocket Outlook, Pocket Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, MSN Messenger and more.

Uniquely, the handset not only features integrated GPS but also an SDIO capable SD/MMC Card expansion slot, theoretically enabling use of accessories such as Wi-Fi SDIO cards. A 200 MHz Intel PXA250 XScale processor powers the handset, which also offers 32 MB of onboard memory and a 16-bit TFT display capable of displaying up to 65,536 colours at a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels.

Other features of the handset include voice dialing, NationalAccess-compatibility and a standards-based 2.5 mm headset jack to enable compatibility with a wide variety of handsfree kits. According to Verizon Wireless, a 900 mAh Lithium Ion facilitates up to 240 hours of standby time and in excess of 4 hours of talk time. An extended 1700 mAh battery will also be included in the package, theoretically enabling close to double the performance of the standard battery.

Even though it only has SmartPhone 2002, if the screen is anything like the previous Samsung's then this phone will rock! 8)
