Samsung gets official with 8 megapixel SCH-W740
We first caught wind of Samsung's SCH-W740 way back on Halloween of last year, and at long last the handset has gone official over in South Korea. Matching up with LG's Renoir, Nokia's N86 and a slew of other emerging 8 megapixel phones, the W740 packs a pretty stellar camera along with a 3.3-inch touchscreen, HSUPA, Bluetooth 2.0, an e-dictionary, T-DMB TV tuner and loads of haptic feedback. As for the camera itself, it features face detection, scene modes, a Xenon flash and a smile shutter for good measure. Word on the street has it surfacing soon for ???900,000 ($660).
Voxtel shows W740 Pocket PC phone
What happens when you introduce a nifty looking Windows Mobile 5-based Pocket PC Phone Edition device with a bizarre mix of hot (4 megapixel autofocus cam) and cold (GPRS data) specs? Voxtel is about to find out, showing off its W740, a 15 millimeter thick Pocket PC with what appears to be an etched metal keypad, a la RAZR and company. Other details include Bluetooth 1.2, 64MB of RAM, 128MB of ROM, and a 900 / 1800 / 1900 GSM radio, all sitting atop a 200MHz OMAP730 from the good folks at TI. A slide-out QWERTY keyboard is absent, but we suspect that's just how some folks like it. Now, who's making the trek to Russia to pick up a couple for us?[Via AVING]
