Samsung SPH-W7100 with 100 decibel siren: proof the terrorists have won
Scared? So scared that you need to carry a 100dB alarm with a direct link to local emergency services? Good, the SPH-W7100 is for you and your milquetoastian kin. In addition to emitting an alarm blast equivalent to your MP3 player's earbuds set at full volume, the SPH-W7100 features an SOS function that alerts local authorities to your position via GPS. The phone is being marketed at women and children in Korea for its launch next month. And having gained FCC approval back in December, Samsung might be prepared to prey upon your fears Stateside in time. Too bad you've lost all ability to hope.
Samsung's SPH-W7100 to feature enhanced safety features
Samsung's SPH-W7100 managed to slip through the FCC's database in December of 2008, and now we're being clued in as to what all the handset will bring to the table. While details surrounding specifications and the like are still scant, we are notified that the mobile will be the company's first to "offer the SOS function with a ring, rather than a button, for ease of use." The so-called safety phone was designed with women, children and puny men in mind, and it gives users the ability to evade dodgy situations by emitting an alarm and sending out a location-laced SMS to numbers that you choose. Unfortunately, it doesn't double as a switchblade, which means you're still on your own should your attacker mean business.[Via textually]Read - FCC spottingRead - SOS details
