Default Samsung's Feature-Packed SGH-i900 Makes An Appearance

http://mobile.pconline.com.cn/marke.../1297149_1.html



Samsung's SGH-i900 (also, Anycall's SGH-i908) is turning into quite a beast. It's said to be packing a 3.5" 240 x 400 touch screen, HSDPA support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, an FM radio, TV-out, 16GB of storage, a microSDHC slot (yes, HTC - this is how it's supposed to be done), a 5.0-megapixel auto-focus camera, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Still no official word on when this impressive device will drop into the hands of consumers, although rumour is it'll make a showing late Q3 or early Q4. Click through for more shots, courtesy of PConline (translated version).

3.5" - 240x400? - Samsung this is how it's NOT supposed to be done. If it's true it's not only pretty LoRes but also completely non standard and as such a compatibility problem and if it's a typo then I hope its the 6 instead of 2 and 480 instead of 400.
Bottom line any kind of qVGA or similar screen would really spoil what is othervise an excelent hardware...

Must agree with alese....

Anything other than standard resolutions should not even be brought to market. Think SONY with its stupid propietary MemorySticks, Atrac codec and what not.

Bad Samsung. I'm Dissapointed

Come on, guys. Give credit where credit is due.

Samsung are the first WinMo manufacturer to take consumer-centric WinMo phones seriously. 5MP camera (with AF!) and 16GB of memory is exceptional for a Pocket PC device. Samsung should be applauded.
