Samsung Electronics presented
Mobile Wimax MITs SPH-M8100, its new Wimax-enabled handset during Samsung
Mobile Wimax Summit 2006. Technically speaking, the SPH-M8100 is not a cell
phone at all, as there are no CDMA or GSM radios on this thing. Instead, its
primary connection is via WiMAX (or WiBro as it is called in Korea) and IMS,
providing you with SIP-based VoIP. IMS, if you recall, stands for IP Multimedia
Subsystem. This combination allows the beefy handset to boast such awesomeness
as video conferencing, Push-to-All (PTT?), and other high-speed data services.
There is also a T-DMB receiver on board, so you can stay up to date with all
your favorite Korean dramas. What's more, all of this can be done while
travelling in a car at up to 60 km/h. Powered by Windows Mobile 5.0, the M8100
boasts a slider form factor, 2.8-inch 65k color touchscreen display, TV-out,
MMCmicro expansion, and a pair of cameras: a 2MP picture taker and a VGA unit
for video calls.
