14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung i900, of which we've heard a lot of nice things until now, appeared again on the Web, this time in clear and crisp photos, which allow us to say that the handset is really a good looker. Although its design doesn't have anything out of the ordinary, its overall aspect is a very elegant one and we assume many users will see in i900 one of the best mobile devices of 2008. This is not only due to the aspect of the device, but also because of the features Samsung packed in it.
Samsung i900 will run on the latest Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, hence for the moment I'm not sure if it's proper to call it smartphone or Pocket PC. I'll stick to smartphone, anyway.
One of the main attractions of i900 is its 5 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and video recording. Sure, a 5 Megapixel camera is not a new thing to see in a mobile phone, but Samsung i900 is the first Windows Mobile device to have such a camera, hence at the time of its release the handset will really be a unique one.
The rest of the specs that Samsung i900 comes with include: quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EGDE, 3G/HSDPA for high data transfer speeds (up to 7.2 Mbps), a 3.5 inch touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels, Wi-Fi, built-in GPS, Opera 9 browser, Music and Video players, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, miniUSB, TV-out, a 1500 mAh battery and no less than 16GB of internal memory, expandable up to 32GB with the addition of a memory card.
The i900 measures only 112 x 56 x 13 millimeters, so it's also slim besides being highly featured and good-looking.
There are no details yet about the availability or pricing of Samsung i900, so we must wait for Samsung to come up with an official announcement regarding this exquisite new handset. Until then, enjoy the available images.
