Samsung's SPH-M8100: another hi-spec MITs WiBro handheld

by Thomas Ricker, posted Mar 28th 2007 at 8:49AM

This isn't the first time we've seen Samsung's SPH-M8100. Remember, this is that crazy WiBro (mobile WiMax) phone sporting a dedicated RSS key (upper-right button on that Korean keypad). Only now, it's been slightly retooled for its official Korean launch. Besides the facelift, it appears unchanged spec-wise as a member of Sammy's elite MITs (Mobile Intelligent Terminal) family of devices. So it still packs the latest CDMA and EV-DO radios and DMB mobile television only now wrapped up in a pretty Windows Mobile 6.0 interface. Bluetooth, 2.8-inch display, and 2 megapixel camera still come standard. With any luck, we might see this rollout on Sprint's WiMAX network someday, somewhere. Yeah, right.

Gee, that doesn't look like the Nokia N80 AT ALL.

Woah, I could have sworn that was an N80. I have mine right here, and they even put the secondary camera in the exact same place.

What's with the microphone on the top left? Do people in Korea use cell phones upside down or something?
