    It looks like the Samsung design kids took a breather here, since this new "WiFiFONE" EW-700 from the Korean giant and VoIP manufacturer Eidicom isn't quite as sharp or skinny as we've learned to expect from Sammy. Still, the EW-700 packs quite a punch, especially for a smartphone that appears to be all WiFi when it comes to radios. The EW-700 is built for VoIP, but includes a whole lot of frills like a web browser, messenger client, multimedia player, 2 megapixel camera, video and audio recording and even Outlook data sync. It all looks to be based on a custom OS, and under the hood is a "PostPC" mobile multimedia processor which Samsung and Eidicom joint-developed. We're a bit slim on deets, but we're not arguing at all with the big-screen, feature rich tact that these guys are taking -- though we suppose a bit of 3G data still wouldn't hurt.
