Aware the device in question has been on the market in Asia and Europe for almost a half a year, I find it interesting the device hasn’t made it to the U.S. shores on any major scale.  Samsung used a triband 3G chip set, rendering the phone useless on American networks but I have to wonder why.

Look at the features this thing has to offer:

  • 7.2Mbps HSDPA 2100
  • 5 megapixel autofocus camera
  • 3.2-inch screen
  • WiFi
  • 8 or 16GB of Flash with microSD expansion

And yes, it looks like an iPhone too (hmmm… by chance?)  While the device is running Windows Mobile, it seems like it could have been a winner.

On another note, why do mobile OS developers feel the need to cover every inch of usable space on the screen?  Less is more!
