Samsung’s answer to iPhone
p2pnet.net News:- With news of a Chinese iPhone knock-off and LG Electronics’ Prada KE850 echoing in the background, Samsung says it’ll be introducing its Ultra Smart F700 mobile phone, complete with QWERTY and a 2.78″ colour display, at 3GSM World Congress next week.
It has a full touch screen and, “for users who are not yet familiar with a touch-screen-only user interface, it also implements a QWERTY key pad and VibeTonz technology which allows them to feel the buttons accompanied by responsive vibrations,” says the company.
The Ultra Smart has a speed of 7.2 Mbps under the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network.
“Once the 7.2 Mbps HSDPA network completely deployed, F700 users can download an mp3 song (about 4MB each) in 4.4 seconds,” promises Samsung. “A full HTML browser along with the QWERTY key pad enables easy access to the internet for e-mail and data services.
With a 5 mega-pixel camera with auto focus and Bluetooth, the Ultra Smart F700 also scores points over the iPod and Prada, “by having a higher quality camera – 5 megapixel versus 2 megapixel on the iPhone and K850 phones – and support for a wider variety of multimedia file formats,” says InfoWorld.
“On the video side it can play MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and Real Video. For audio, it supports MP3, AACplus, eAACplus and Real audio formats.”
