Pics of the SPH-V5400, that new Samsung cellphone with the 1.5GB hard drive
Oh, and here are some snaps of the SPH-V5400, that new
Samsung cellphone with the built-in 1.5GB hard drive.
Check out the 128x128 OLED screen on the outside and the 320x240 pixel LCD on the inside.

GSM? CDMA? 3G? Specs? Arrggh! More information!

This is the first phone to converge properly! Doesn't matter what specs to me, the floodgates are now open. Once you mate a HD to a phone, the next step is MP3 player/ phone, and I can finally lose one of my gadgets!
Hurrah!

hence the name "sph" and the korean words on the display.

1 GB SD cards are $100 and any Microsoft Smartphone and probably even the Treos can play music and video off them all day long. Well most of the day.
I think a 5 GB hard drive is the minimum for doing new and interesting things on a phone.
1 GB or even 1.5 GB still means lots of churn to keep an interesting amount of digital media on your device.

i hope we won't have to wait another two years for another sighting of this phone happens

I remember I was almost ready with the cash to pick up the SGH-D710 twist-flip that got shelved much to my horror earlier last year. I just hope they don't repeat their performance on this.

Looks interesting until you realize it has an external antenna sticking out in the top. On an advanced phone like this one you would expect it to have internal antenna. Who buys phones with clumsy external antennas nowdays anyway...?

This looks remarkably like the SPH-i550 next generation palm phone we saw pics of a while back. I don't think they are, but I'd be REALLY interested if these were the same or were eventually combined. Smartphone + HD = happy consumer.

Where you buying $100 SD cards at???? Link me up with that.

I think thats all really cool but what about design this phone looks like a squared oversized match box with a big antenna at the back of it.
I think they should go for sleeker designs + the 1.5 Gb HD which seems to be really cool. Now we dont no if all this pretty little thing will work fast enough for all apps when you start filling up the HD.
The good point is that this phone is a flip phone and not this grotesque slide type they are trying to sell.

In answer to TOR.
The external antenna is there for two reasons i can think of. 1 Samsung rush these prototypes out very very quickly and to develop an internal antenna is far more intricate than plugging in an off the shelf external.(I know this as i used to design them). Also the antenna performance of an internal is very questionable when you place it anywhere near a noisy object such as a hard drive. My guess is Samsung are looking into an internal but in the rush to be first to market an internal antenna will probably wait until the 2nd/3rd generation of this phone.

Would this be a USB hard disk accessible from by the phone? All this technology and all I want is a USB SD-Card. I can carry my tiny little external 2.5" hard disk with me all the time, but rather just have an SD card to USB adapter and same myself all the expenses in purchasing a new phone. My kyocera 7135 does about all I need it to do.
The antenna is most likely there for Analog Signals on AMPS & CDMA networks
