Samsung's i550 re-upped with WiFi
Whoa, what's that little symbol we spy in the upper right? Aye, indeed, it's the unmistakable marque of speedy wireless! Sure, Samsung's S60-powered i550 already had HSDPA, but as any N95 owner will tell you, there's just no substitute for an 802.11 radio every once in a while. Samsung must feel the same way, because they've now apparently re-released the i550 as the i550w, where the "w" stands for -- you guessed it -- WiFi. A quick search reveals that the revised model is already in the retail chain and can be had for under $400, so just be sure you're getting that precious extra letter tacked onto the end of the model name if you place an order.[Via Unwired View]
Samsung's S60-based SGH-i550 launched, admired
Samsung shows another trackball-enabled device but this one packs the S60, 3.1 UI, and not Windows Mobile under the hood. While we first saw this way back in July, the i550 is only now getting its release party -- and we say, about time. Featuring triple-band GSM, HSDPA, GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera, 4 GB of memory expandability via microSD, and that lovely little trackball we're just itching to get our thumbs on. No word on pricing details, but launch is apparently slated for November so here's to the dream that we're only days away from it's Windows Mobile-enabled sibling's launch.
