The FCC recently revealed further details about a new Windows Mobile Smartphone from Samsung. The SGH i610 is a slim clamshell with GSM / EDGE 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 for 3G data outside of the US. The i610 features a hybrid QWERTY keyboard similar to the SureType keyboard on many RIM handsets, including the T719 from Samsung. It also has a 2 Megapixel auto-focus camera, both of which are Windows Mobile firsts. The i610 features a second camera for video calling, Micro SD card slot, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), an FM Radio, and a 2 line monochrome external display. In addition to the standard Smartphone suite, the i610 also includes an RSS reader with a podcast player and Picsel viewer for opening attachments on the phone. Samsung is also launching the i600, a big brother to this phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi as well.
