Samsung intros SPH-P9200 Deluxe MIT

Apart from its obvious smallness, Samsung's original SPH-P9000 "Deluxe MIT" proved to be a decent enough device when we got our hands on it at CES, with its built-in Mobile WiMAX support providing a welcome, if disappointingly slow added connectivity option (at least for those with access to it). Now it seems that Samsung has decided to give the device a bit of a refresh, rolling out its new and somewhat improved SPH-P9200 Deluxe MIT at the Samsung 4G Forum in Korea this week. While details are still pretty light, the big addition here looks to be a new 5-inch touchscreen, which would seem to make the unit a tad more usable. No word on any changes to the processor, but you can apparently expect the same 30GB hard drive and, of course, the same Mobile WiMAX connectivity, with Windows XP still hanging in as the OS.

Why was Mobile WiMAX "disappointingly slow"?

[Aaron @ Aug 29th 2007 1:39PM]

needs wlan modem

I think it does have WLAN, the WiMAX must be for when you're not close to an AP.

[Kevin @ Sep 6th 2007 8:33AM]

Ram =256 MB and the Processor is a 1GHz Transmeta CPU.

surely less space-wasting windows (pun intedned) would make better use of the tiny screen

Finally a keyboard computer that is small enough to really be portable! I have hated thumb devices and would never buy one! When is this available to buy in the US? All of the current small mobile devices either have a crappy thumb input or they are too large be be portable without a "man-purse"

I hope Samsung decides to release them in the US or I hope some other US based device copies it and comes out with a pocket size touch type keyboard computer.
