With regard to Samsung, I thought about that as I was saying it but decided you can't really go to Samsung and buy one. It isn't like you, as a consumer, can decide between a Palm and WM Samsung phone without deciding between carriers, and my understanding is Samsung has really dropped Palm.
It gets murky when talking about carrier only devices. Samsung is really more of an ODM than an OEM. |
But you could then use the same arguement for Palm! You won't be able to buy this rumored WM Treo 670 directly but through Verizon! A majority of handsets are sold via wireless carriers, so that isn't anything suprising. Furthermore, Samsung is still a PalmOS lisencee. It's most recent release was the i539 in China fyi...
