Although not covered in the Samsung Press Conference, it IS in the Press Kit, so therefore Samsung have officially announced the SGH-i200 Smartphone!

Deets are very thin on the ground currently (and i'll update this post as more info surfaces), however specs include:

- HSDPA /UMTS / EDGE

- 2MP Camera

- 2.3" QVGA screen

- Windows Mobile 6 Standard

- 116.7 x 50.8 x 11.8 mm

I've posted the press shot and also a sizeasy size comparison below (after the jump for news page readers!) Edit: Now with video hands on! Device DEFINITELY doesn't have WiFi, and is quite a nice, simple Smartphone! I am pretty sure this was running WinMo 6.1, but with the 'About' page removed...

Enjoy! :)

Nice to see a traditional 9-key device, it's a bit wide though...how about a sizeasy with the Vox? :)

[Guest nickcornaglia]

I agree....nice to see a candybar. Too bad not US Compatible...well, not AT&T anyway.

[Guest Jakob]

YES... Finally... A PHONE and not a crappy QWERTY device.. Even though a bit wide and a bit long.

Samsung just made my day (or my year)

But WTF´s up with the lack of WiFi??

Don't suppose there is any info on prices just yet? If not, do we at least know what price category it could fall under, the budget end perhaps? I quite like the looks of this but not sure if i'd sacrifice my S710 for it, more thinking it'd be good as a back-up option if relatively cheap.

No info on prices, I have been over to snap a video this morning tho :)

Still too chunky for my liking! How about that screen on the Benq E72? :)

What is this phone's CPU speed? Has that information been released?

What is this phone's CPU speed? Has that information been released?

Well yesterday I got hold of one. It seems to be a 240 MHz cpu(ARM9260EJ-S) with a 264MHz Nomadik STn8810 multimedia cpu.

Indeed a very nice device but basic.

btw the calculator has a bug.

Try 10-10% whats the outcome?

The calculator says 9.9

But infact it is 9 :)

I really love that phone! If you don't really need WLAN and want a 12 key phone that can be used with one hand - there is no better choice for a real low price (55 EUR at eBay!)! :D

Infos on new ROM etc can be found on XDA-Dev.
