Sprint To Launch New Samsung Phone Using Both GSM And CDMA
"Sprint today announced the introduction of its first digital quad-band phone, the Sprint PCS International Phone IP-A790 by Samsung, giving multinational business customers a wireless connection to the rest of the world at simple, flat-rate pricing in supported GSM countries abroad. When used in conjunction with a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, the Sprint PCS International Phone IP-A790 by Samsung allows customers to make voice calls on both CDMA and GSM networks in more than 130 countries where Sprint has roaming agreements in place. The phone also functions as a multimedia device on the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network so customers can view on-demand streaming video and audio and shoot video clips with the embedded camera and camcorder."
I think more manufacturers should take this type of approach. Building the phone so that it can handle whatever network the user wants to use it on offers more flexibility to the phones owner. The IP-A790 should be available early next month from Sprint PCS, in case anyone is interested.
