Theme: Samsung W579
Is it a CDMA Phone? Is it a GSM Phone? Hey It’s Both! We are talking about the new and very chic Samsung SCH-W579. This one is already creating buzz as it lets the insatiable user experience the best of both worlds and prevents the headache of carrying two different devices.Though supporting both networks is nothing new, however the handset also has some great multimedia features and scores points in the eye-candy department.
The Samsung SCH-W579 has already been approved by the FCC, so be ready to experience its goodness soon. On the specs front apart from both GSM and CDMA networking, we also come across features like ; TFT, 240×320 pixels, 262K colors display, a 2megapixel CMOS Camera, a MP3 Player and support to 72-tones polyphony. We especially dig the cool digital clock on the outer body and its ability to support Office documents and TV-out. No word on pricing or availability.
Normally most concerned with its native Korea and the West, Samsung is introducing a world phone made for the often complex Chinese market. The combination of dual-band CDMA and tri-band GSM gives cellphone subscribers the ability to use networks in other countries without buying another handset. This clamshell design also caters to its Chinese target audience by including a 240×320 touchscreen and stylus to allow text messaging in the users’ own tongues. A 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and built-in music playback are expected to complete the W579’s feature set. No official release information has been listed, but Samsung promises to deliver the phone soon. A full photo is available after the jump courtesy of IT-168.
