Samsung SGH-i780 gets official

John Chan | Oct 01, 2007

Samsung is not new to the Windows Mobile PDA-phone business. The company has a few products in that category, though till now, there has been no sustained effort to establish itself in this space. We know the company has had some success with the i320N, and after that the i600 smart phones. So there seems to be no reason why that can't be extended to the handhelds arena.

This may be the one that gets Samsung noticed--the SGH-i780. We first reported on its initial sighting during the GITEX tradeshow, a QWERTY-enabled touchscreen model with a mouse cursor. Samsung has since released the official image and it shows a device that's not unlike the i600 in design, though instead of a rectangular display, it has a square one.

The cheabol has yet to officially release this model and so has not release official specifications. From the knowledge harvested around the Internet, we know it will probably come with a 320 x 320-pixel display, HSDPA, GPS and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It's supposed to be just 13.3mm in depth, which makes it extremely thin for a touchscreen handheld. More information will be available in the coming month--we'll bring you those as we receive them.

I have the i600, it's a great phone except the battery life sucks. Hope they do better with this one. I'll tradeup if they do.
