An unseemly Samsung touchscreen device opens the scene, being held by one HOWARD CHUI. Its size is comparable to the Galaxy Spica but something doesn't feel as momentous here. Background is calm, likely the top of a table. He improvises from the script.
HOWARD (improvising)
What we're looking at is the Samsung i5801, an entry-level Android 2.1 phone sporting a slightly customized UI. The device sports a 240 x 400 (possibly 240 x 480) screen and a 3 megapixel camera. Storage is around 300MB built-in but supports MicroSDHC. Connectivity-wise, there's Wi-Fi, GPS, and possibly Bluetooth 3.0. Pretty run of the mill, no word on price or release, but it's almost certain to target a much more cash-conscious section of the market.
CUT TO: AFTER THE BREAK
Another day....another Droid
Nothing like choice though
WQVGA is quite a shite resolution for Android.
This reminds me of the cliq xt with a crapier camera. at least it doesn't have motoblur
Hey, WTF with the private video?
Going after the same market as Nokia low end touch smartphones. It's a huge market. Someone knows what they're doing there.
@account5 if you click on the via you can see the video :)
I've had the opportunity to see this device already (or another similar entry level Android device from Samsung on VZW). If this is indeed the same Samsung I got to see, the screen was RESISTIVE. Not a good choice for Android unless you live in China.
Hmm, wonder if it could end up with one of the prepaid carriers in the US. Don't see such a low end device being on a contract carrier. But its not like it hasn't happened.
Why are there two phone icons??
240x400?
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Sexy beast in my country, would get if I not so poor as to afford facebook access
