Nokia says: We can do cellphones with hard drives too
Pesky upstart Samsung is cleaning their clock when it comes to adding hard drives and maxxing out the megapixels in cellphones (they're up to five these days with the
SCH-S250, pictured at right), but Nokia says they're going to hit back and'll be upping the resolution and slapping hard drives into their handsets beginning next year. So far it's hard to see the Samsung's 1.5GB SPH-V5400, the world's first cellphone with a built-in hard drive, as much of an iPod killer, but in 12 or 18 months someone'll put out a handset with a 5GB drive in it and a lot of people are going to wonder whether they really need (or want) to walk around with two gadgets when they could get away with only carrying one.
