Samsung is showcasing their new H1000 clamshell/slider cellphone with support for WiBro (South Korea's proprietary, yet WiMax compatible, wireless broadband solution) this week at the APEC IT Exhibition in South Korea. They'll also unveil the M8000 and a WiBro PCMCIA card which will be available to test on the WiBro service installed at the convention center. Korea will be rolling out their domestic WiBro service by summer of 2006 and Samsung has already inked a deal with Sprint Nextel to equip a WiBro trial in these United States. So yes, we might theoretically get our grubby mits on these. Another pic after after the break.
is it just me or does this feel like a smaller version of the 80s?
that thing is ooglay
Reminds me of the Nokia N91.
OK lets gather whats missing,
Windows Mobile 5.0
DVB-H
If it had these feats, it could easily beat the the imate jasjar/ mda pro/ m500/ xda exec etc... *snore*
hey, change the color to black and its the D550 that i have been waiting for. damn it samsung, release it allready!
Can you say multiplayer Doom?!
Why does Korea always get all these cool ass phones when they don't even have any kind of cell service like T-MO',or Verizon etc. Everyone there has to use calling cards to use there phones.
To #4: "Why does Korea always get all these cool ass phones when they don't even have any kind of cell service like T-MO',or Verizon etc. Everyone there has to use calling cards to use there phones."
What are you talking about? I live in Korea, and I certainly don't need a calling card to use my cell phone. The people who use calling cards are those who wish to make cheaper overseas calls.
Believe me, the wireless services here kick ass . If I knew Korean better, I'd probably take much greater advantage of the multimedia services available on my phone.
What is taking these companies so long to get QWERTY phones on the market? Did they not see that is what everyone wants?
yeah I have never ever used nor has anyone around me ever really use calling cards. as for not having cell services?
er... jeez then SK Telecom, LG Telecom, KTF...are what exactly? Mass corporately branded delusions of a common population?
and with DMB (Digital mobile broadcasting...mobile tv broadcasted by satellite)services like Tu, this upcoming wibro, multi-megapixel cameras, and greater memory capacities getting cheaper...damn the market is gonna heat up...and make my job heh harder.
First we had a moron who was spouting nonsense about ipods' market share being higher because he um "saw more on the way to work" than reported figures which are compiled from retail data and now we have this guy saying Korea has no service providers?
*sigh* maybe it only annoys me because I have to deal with same type or moronity from other analysts particularly those from the US.
like "Markets really don't support the need for connections over 50mbps" *rolls eyes* SO Powercomm's XPeed service of 100mbps connections are not on a huge rise? Jeez I should go freaking shred these subscription figures I just recieved. or...."the notebook market in Korea is at an even plateau..." oh helll...I should just eat these reports that show a huge increase in mid to low end laptop purchases... or....
*Sigh* misinformation even from those who are paid to know better makes me cranky. so I guess I should be less annoyed with whoever razr-02 is. but still....
WiBro cracks me up. Whenever I see it mentioned, I can't help but think of some football jock punching another dude in the arm, and that guy going, "Ow... Why, Bro?"
