Samsung i550 Smartphone

Samsung recently announced their fist GPS equipped smartphone, the Samsung i550. The device is based on Symbian OS v9.2, S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1. The phone will be a high-end 3G-enabled device sporting most features that you can find on the newest phone today. HSDPA (3.6 Mbps) and EDGE handle data transfer on the tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz) device, with Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP supported here) and USB 2.0. The phone will have a 2.6″ 262K-color display with QVGA resolution. Also we can find a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and flash, as well an FM radio. Again, the OS, as expected, is Symbian 9.2 using the S60 v3.1 user interface, which allows customization using the huge variety of Symbian applications available. The Samsung i550 features 150MB of internal memory and a microSD card slot.
The phone’s GPS navigator function features voice activated turn-by-turn guidance, and a pedestrian mode that offers specific locations and directions at walking speeds.
The device will be released in November 2007 but no information about pricing was released.
