Unveiled
with the
Vodafone Christmas line-up announcement, not too much was known about
Vodafone's new co-branded
Samsung SGH-i640v
Windows Mobile 6 Standard Smartphone, which looks like a design-upgrade to the
Samsung SGH-i620.
However, it seems the i640 is far more than just a design-upgraded i620 since it
is expected to sport features, the i620 was badly missing, including WiFi and
even GPS! And it's sporting Vodafone's new Home screen implementation
we have
seen on the Palm Treo 500v before already.
During Gitex, DinarSoft had the chance to play with Samsung's latest Windows
Mobile Standard beauty and recoded another video (you can find on YouTube):


According to DinarSoft, the Samsung SGH-i640 features Windows Mobile 6 Standard,
triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and singleband UMTS/HSDPA and a 2 megapixel main camera.
Furthermore the i640 features a 2.4" QVGA screen, the slide-out QWERTY keyboard,
the Trackwheel navigation, Bluetooth 2.0 (most likely +EDR), USB 2.0 and a
microSD card slot; specs which are the same to the SGH-i620.
Since it
was announced by Vodafone already, a release can be expected in Q4-07. A
price is still unknown.
