Official announcement of a two-way music smartphone Samsung SGH-i450    [ 10-10-2007 14:44 ]

Author: Serge Novikov     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja     

Today Samsung Electronics has made an official announcement of Samsung SGH-i450 music phone (in addition to the SGH-F330) for the European market. The device is peculiar for its form-factor – a two-way slider phone like Nokia N95. Instead of media player buttons the new Samsung phone has a sensor wheel, which fulfils the same functions.

I’d remind you Samsung SGH-i450 is built on Symbian S60 3rd Edition and supports 3G networks and HSDPA technology (up to 3.6 Mbps to download music from the web), let alone EDGE and GPRS. Bluetooth technology with A2DP enhances opportunities for music playback.

The price tag for Samsung SGH-i450 makes up €360, and the launch is scheduled for the end of this month.

Pictures of Samsung SGH-i617 available    [ 10-10-2007 10:48 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: The Unwired     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja     

Yesterday we wrote that the FCC certified Samsung SGH-i617 smartphone known as BlackJack II. Today we’ve got our hands on the pictures. Its design is really similar to the original BlackJack: a landscape display and a QWERTY-keyboard. But the new model is equipped with a higher resolution camera – 2-megapixel and powered by Windows Mobile 6 Standard.

According to the FCC info the smartphone can work in GSM and WCDMA networks. The test report reveals 850 and 1900 MHz bands, however it’s highly possible the device supports quad-band GSM and tri-band WCDMA (+ HSDPA standard). There is no info on Wi-Fi support. Samsung SGH-i617 will be available from AT&T operator in the US. Neither the vendor nor the operator confirmed the news.
