Samsung's SPH-P9000 Deluxe MITs landing in December

by Darren Murph, posted Nov 20th 2006 at 3:42AM

If you're just not feeling the typical, customary UMPC, Samsung has the ultimate mishmash of laptop and ultraportable machine that you've been dreaming up, and it should be ready to rock in just "two weeks." That snazzy (albeit cockamamie) SPH-9000 was originally announced as the first thing to get after the holiday rush in "Q1 2007," but in a very atypical turn of events, the company is now announcing that the WiBro-packin' foldable should be ready by "early December" for pickup in South Korea. While we can't wait to see how functional this three-pieced machine really is, and whether its battery life breaks away from the short-lived stereotype its brethren have unfortunately created, we suppose we'll have to wait for a hands-on from overseas -- but hey, at least it'll get here an awful lot quicker than previously assumed.

How about just buying a Nokia 770 and a Stowaway BT keyboard and getting it on now? A standard keyspacing like the Stowaway would be nicer too.

I think the reason why this has apeal is because it's a truly converged device. Does this have a cellular radio of some sort? I did'nt read all the specs. My opinion....I'd buy ths if their was a UMTS/HSDPA version.

EV-DO. because koreans know that CDMA kills HSDPA.

The market needs a device with a built in touch type keyboard that will fit in a jacket pocket. Thumb keyboards are a joke and carrying a stow-away or other foldable keyboard etc. is equally bad as it is like carrying two pdas.

I hope it is available in US soon.
