Samsung SGH-i600 Windows Mobile UMTS and HSDPA Smartphone
"As I've previously posted, two weeks ago I had my first 5 minutes with a Samsung SGH-i600 UMTS and HSDPA Windows Mobile Smartphone which is expected to be released end of this year. This week I had my second 10 minutes with the same device, Samsung's UMTS/HSDPA follower of the SGH-i320. Beside being Samsung's first UMTS and HSDPA enabled Windows Mobile Smartphone, the highlight of the SGH-i600 is its BlackBerry-styled thumb-keyboard which mostly addresses business customers."  Great but why are they using "i600" in the name? Didn't they already make an i600? Somethings I will never understand. It is nice to see more HSDPA devices surfacing. The question is when will I have one in my hands?

This is the one I'm waiting for. Unless they come out with a Cingular compatible UMTS/HSDPA candybar phone before that.

They name their CDMA phones SCH, and their GSM phones SGH.
So SCH-i600 is different from SGH-i600.  |

I would have been okay with that explanation if the SGH-i600 was the GSM version of the SCH-i600, which it is not, so why confuse the customers. :? Oh well! |

You mean you want the i607? Samsung is making things confusing, the i320 and i600 are European tri-band models. The i607 which Cingular is supposed to get I believe is a Quad-band, US 3G compatible device. ;-) |
