Finally, a mobile phone with a 1.5GB hard-disk..!
Samsung does it first - Finally, a mobile phone with a 1.5GB hard disk...!
We all knew this had to happen some day. I had posted a blog about my wait for a phone with a microdrive on Sep 1st. Just a few days later, on Sep 6th , Samsung announced SPH-V5400 - a clamshell phone with a 0.8 inch 1.5 GB hard drive. It also features the following:
- FM Radio
- 64-voice polyphonic ringtone support
- Dual screens (128x128 OLED screen on the outside and the 320x240 pixel LCD on the inside)
- TV output
- Mega-pixel camera with integrated flash and camcorder function
- MP3 player
- Electronic book
- Korean-English/English-Korean dictionaries
- Dual speakers that provide a 3D sound effect
Now, I just cannot wait to get the specs for this phone. I think this phone's file upload mechanisms (USB?) & speeds, battery life and ruggedness would be the key factors for it's success. Okay, asking for USB may be a bit too much..
If Samsung gets it right, why would we carry those cute iPods now?
I hope Nokia and Sony-Ericsson are listening :)
