We've been waiting on more details about a "forthcoming"
Samsung MID for what feels like centuries now, but if a recent find is what it says it is, we'd say a Samsung-branded,
WiMAX-enabled Mobile Internet Device is pretty close to production. The so-called SWD-M100D was spotted chillin' out, relaxin' all cool at Sammy's MWC WiMAX kiosk, which makes perfect sense given its ability to connect to WiMAX networks. Unfortunately, it was caught running WinMo 6.1, though the slide out QWERTY keyboard, 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module, 4.3-inch touchscreen, microSD slot and TV output were all welcome inclusions. Samsung's PR folks have been somewhat dodgy so far, but a recent press release about its innovation in the WiMAX space specifically makes mention of an elusive MID. We're on to you, Samsung, and we're not looking away for even a second.

In my phone...with provisions.
In anything else other than a GPS?
NEVER!
Make room on your shelf in that niche next to the Nokia N810, because it's got a new room mate.
Wheres the Q1 ULTRA version 2 bitches?
these MID's are so small they are practically phones in them selves, save for the one difference. With wimax and skype that could change entirely and essentially erase the difference between the two. To me mids would be considered large enough to need two hands to operate like a small tablet or such, but at this size...
I have to admit that I am using an old-school "just-a-phone" cel-phone and am waiting to get a MID-esque phone once that market solidifes a bit.
If I wanted a computing device without phone capabilities I'd likely got for the bigger screen netbooks rather than a teeny PDA-type device.
Get with the times bro. You've been missing out for 2 years now. Whatever u do don't get storm, voyager, omnia, instinct,android, touch htc, or fuze those all failed.
wow ! Is this an attempt to dethrone the king of all pmps here in the USA ,"apple touch"?? I seriously doubt this has the ui to obtain coveted title . I'm sure we all agree,,
Wow...for a Black phone on display...its Filthy
I think the design is really bad. (Compared to other devices with slide-keyboard)
Here we go again..
