Samsung's WiMAX-equipped SWD-M100 MID outed as Mondi

Although apparently not on its site just yet, it looks like Samsung's RSS feed has unleashed the first official pic of that WiMAX-enabled SWD-M100 MID we spotted at MWC as well as revealed a catchier name: Mondi. The device will utilize Clearwire's Mobile WiMAX network simply dubbed "Clear." Last we heard it was running Windows Mobile 6.1, but seeing as its sporting that dedicated Windows button required for WinMo 6.5, that all could change before it's release. Speaking of which, mum's the word on pricing or availability, we're afraid.

really big screen or really small keyboard?

[xoxidine Posted Mar 26th 2009 5:47PM]

I think its a really small screen. Like the Sony VAIO VGN-UX390N

[ChillyCat Posted Mar 26th 2009 5:53PM]

If it's at least 3.5" to 3.8" & Verizon'd , i'd prolly take a serious look

I think that its a really big keyboard.

[xoxidine Posted Mar 26th 2009 6:13PM]

It's a giant phone, with no phone capabilities.

[plexusXXX Posted Mar 26th 2009 6:23PM]

But can it also make and receive phone calls?
Otherways I still have to wait (imapatiently) for HTC Thoth or Archos&Texas Instrument Android thingo

I have no idea why they didn't just make this with a phone as an alternate to the MID only option. I'd have bought one if the screen is decent. It's a 4.3" device, and the keys are small making the screen seem big.

Is it just me, or does that look exactly like a nokia n810?

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 27th 2009 1:13AM]

no, its not just you. it looks almost exactly the same, and sounds like the specs are very similar to the N810 WiMax
