Samsung will launch in Asia an “improved” version of their E900 GSM mobile phone. This new model will work on CDMA 1X 800 MHz networks and will have almost the same specification sheet as its older brother, the E900.

It will feature the same touch sensitive buttons, will have a 1.9 inch 260k colors TFT LCD display working at a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, a digital camera of 1.3 megapixel with CMOS sensor and LED Flash, integrated Java technology, a WAP 2.0 / xHTML browser and a document viewer with support for Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF files.

Also, the specification sheet mentions it will sport a built-in media player capable of playing MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA and 3GP files (the 3GP video files being displayed at a resolution of 176 x 144 pixels), an internal memory of 43 MB, built-in hands-free, voice memo, wireless Bluetooth technology, all of them carefully tucked in a package weighing 85 grams and measuring 93.2 x 45.5 x 16.2 mm.

There is also a possibility that this phone will have an enabled flight mode feature that will let the users listen to music while disabling the connection to the carrier so they can use the handset even on airplanes and places where it is strictly forbidden.

All things taken in consideration, this new model from Samsung will take all the goodness from the E900 (almost all of it because its 2 megapixel camera has been replaced with a much lower quality one of 1.3 megapixel) and make it available for the people using the services of CDMA providers.

A very nice gesture made by Samsung and I guess they are one of the few mobile phone manufacturers that also take their mobile handsets onto the other side for the less lucky people using the CDMA standard.
