The new year has started and what better way to start the new year than to learn about upcoming Smartphone models. Mobile-review.com member Bios has posted what appears to be slides from a Samsung presentation, that shows the concept designs Samsung is working on. Both the designs look cool and are based on Tri-Band GSM. :P



The first one is based on Windows Mobile Smartphone 2003 Second Edition [pictured on the left] and has the following specs: fast 500MHz processor, 1 Mega Pixel camera, 65K color screen and miniSD. Click here to see the complete details.

The second one is based on Windows Mobile "Magneto" features a 3GB hard disk drive and is aptly codenamed "HDD Music Smartphone". This one looks like it has all the ingredients to be a big hit. It sports a 262K color screen with a resolution of 240x320. It has USB 2.0 for quickly syncing those big music files. A jog shuttle navigation system instead of the traditional joystick/joypad. Click here [the third slide in the post] to see the details of this concept. :drool:

Also mentioned in the post is a Pocket PC Phone Edition based prototype. Check it out over here [second slide in the post]. Wonder when these models will hit the store shelves?

Hmmmmm I don't think Samsung had anything to do with pulling those on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah... if you read through the end of the thread, the site's moderator decided to preemptively pull the slides. They may be back up tomorrow.

my wife uses a Samsung S300 that's worked without issue for almost 2 years. now if Samsung can create a flip WM Smartphone that doesn't have the @#$%ups like Moto, i'll jump in line to get one...

I am sorry (no offense to Samsung or Samsung Phone owners) but Samsung designs mostly have been more like the 80s (or I mean the 90s).

But these two look pretty cool.

The Pocket PC Phone Edition prototype should get a facelift before launch.

Oh I agree with that, I used to own an i600 also. I think it was an aberration from their usual clunky designs.
