Samsung M7600 Beat DJ touchscreen music phone now official

As if a giant billboard wasn't enough of an unveiling, Samsung has released some official shots of its M7600 "Beat DJ" touchscreen handset. Like we knew already, the Quadband GSM / HSDPA music phone sports a 2.8-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, GPS, 3 megapixel camera, and Bang & Olufsen amplifier. It's also got codec support for DivX and XviD, microSDHC card slot for up to 16GB, Bluetooth A2DP, FM radio, and a very welcome 3.5mm headphone jack. As for those DJ features, the turntable-inspired "Disc UI" uses a spin wheel for navigation, and the included software lets you both create your own music and sounds as well as remix other songs by adding effects and filters. Unfortunately, mum's the word on pricing or availability.

Hmmm... I like it. It's sexy looking, and I like the interface.

good concept, an idea i had in mind since the first iPod came out.. but with this implemented on a screen, nowadays, ur essentially paying for an app.

(not a fanboy, but the IPhone would be a good surface to use this type of program on, since the screen is sensative enough. Also perhaps the pre and others..
I cant imagine this being accurate enough to be used for creating actuall songs.. understandable, but not even mediocre,)

Freerunner rip-off?

Not even close to being a rip-off. It's more of an evolution of the Samsung/B&O Serenata, in a way.

Symbian or Windows mobile?
