Samsung's Haptic Pop isn't quite as awesome as its name

Samsung's not hurting for killer full touchscreen hardware right now, so when it starts spouting off about 3 megapixel dumbphones launching strictly within South Korea, you'll have to excuse us for tempering our excitement. The W750 Haptic Pop is -- as its name implies -- a haptics-enabled handset with a 3.2-inch display measuring 432 x 240 pixels, T-DMB tuning capability, an emergency alarm to scare off baddies, and to use Samsung's own machine-translated words, a "cute new standby screen." That's all well and good, but it looks like Sammy's positioning this as a fashion phone, because they're really pushing the changeable backplates -- of which we count nine to choose from on the product's details page. Still, yeah, we'd gladly take an OmniaHD in just one color. Any color you want, Sammy.
