Samsung i570: say hello to Symbian OS
When I caught a glimpse of the Samsung i570 slider, I quickly thought, "is that a new version of Windows Mobile already?" Nope, it’s apparently Symbian OS v9.1 coming to this short and squatty QWERTY phone. [Say that five times fast!] Unwired View picked up some pics of this tri-band GSM phone with UMTS/HSDPA and I spy a small web-cam on the front as well as a miniature 45-RPM record pasted on the front for navigation. The dedicated e-mail button is nice too and there’s a 2-megapixel camera on the backside. Anybody craving a 3G phone that looks like so many other WinMo devices but runs on Symbian?
Does it make me a nerd if I actually took the time to say “short and squatty QWERTY phone” 5 times fast?
Wow, this is an interesting device! Didn’t know Samsung was going to make a Symbian phone… Pretty cool. Pity about the 2MP camera, though.
