Samsung brought many mobile devices at the 2008 edition of CeBIT (Hanover, Germany, 4 - 9 March), including the G810 flagship and the stylish F490. Right now we're going to present you i780 and i200, two handsets that have in common the Windows Mobile OS.


Samsung i780 is a business-orientated smartphone that runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional and looks pretty nice, I even dare to say it looks far better than both Samsung's BlackJack and BlackJack II (since it has been compared with them when first announced). I780 has lots of cool features, including a 2.55 inch TFT touchscreen with 65K colors and a 320 x 320 pixels resolution, full QWERTY keyboard, tri-band GSM connectivity, 3G/HSDPA, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, GPRS and EDGE. Furthermore, the phone offers built-in GPS, A-GPS support, Microsoft Office Mobile, finger mouse, Windows Media Player, Opera Mobile 8.65 browser, email and Instant Messaging, Bluetooth 2.0, USB, Callia Player and Callia Reader, SmartConverter and so on. There's also a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording and a secondary VGA camera for video calls.

Measuring 115.9 x 61.3 x 12.9 mm and weighing 120 grams, Samsung i780 packs a standard Li-Ion battery that can (or it should, at least) provide up to 7 hours of talk-time and about 400 hours of stand-by time. The phone is available in Europe for a pretty high price, somewhere around 550 Euro ($840). No word yet about a future availability in North America.

Samsung i200 is a smaller (than i780) smartphone that runs on Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard and has a stylish design. The handset measures 116.7 x 50.8 x 11.8 millimeters, it's 3G-enabled and comes with a 2.3 inch TFT display at a 240 x 320 pixels resolution, a 2 Megapixel camera, PocketIE browser, email capabilities, Instant Messaging, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, Media player (MP3, WMA, AAC and MPEG4 support), voice command and voice memo, organizer, Java MIDP 2.0 and so on.

Samsung i200 should hit the market in the next months. Until then, check out the live pictures from CeBIT:
