This annual show is much smaller than CTIA's spring show, yet still never fails to provide a handful of interesting announcements for the US market. When it first started, the show focused on mobile data and the enterprise market, but in recent years has expanded to include other types of data services and content, such as entertainment. The focus is still squarely on data services and content, not phones per se. That's why many larger phone makers like Motorola, Samsung, and LG don't even bother to exhibit on the show floor."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20051003-CTIASamsung1.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20051003-CTIASamsung2.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />Phone Scoop has posted some coverage from the CTIA show in San Francisco. While I didn't notice any Windows Mobile content in the article, I did notice this fancy new device from Samsung - the SGH-D307. I wonder where I've seen this before? ;)<br /><br /><b>Update:</b> Phone Scoop has updated their coverage and there is now some info on the Wizard, Samsung i300 and i730. :D

Why can't we have something like this Samsung model running Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone.

Another cool form factor: the LG VX9800 (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000200059631/), it has pretty much the same dimensions as the i-mate SP3i. It is just a bit thicker.

Thanks.

Some really good pictures of the Samsung I300. Wow. It is not as chunky as it seemed like from the initial photos. Glad that you compared it with the SDA in one of the shots.

And regarding the scroll wheel. I like your suggestion. But not sure if Samsung will do anything to change the behaviour. I believe that is an OS limitation. :-( But I know what you mean. The scroll wheel makes it really easy to go thru a big list. Can't wait to try it on my contacts list. ;-)
