Remember Samsung's SGH-J750 that we spotted months ago while perusing the always intriguing depths of the FCC's website? Even if not, Sammy is announcing that the no fills handset is indeed shipping now, and its standout feature is (unsurprisingly) the 3G-enabling Broadcom BCM59001 PMU SoC tucked within. 'Course, this wouldn't be a lower-end cellphone without a totally average 220 x 176 resolution display, completely mediocre 8MB of internal memory and a blatant lack of WiFi. Granted, the unit reportedly sports tri-band GSM connectivity, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a microSD expansion slot, 1.3-megapixel camera, 3-hours of talk time (300-hours in standby) and an integrated music player, but nobody's jumping for joy after reading that, right? Mum's the word on price / availability, but look for it to slide in quietly here in the not-too-distant future.[Via Slashphone]

I agree that there isn't much use for a 3G radio on a dumbphone with a 176 x 220 screen... unless it can be tethered. Here's a trend I'd really like to see develop: small handset, high-speed radio, Bluetooth tethering capabilities (Personal Area Network, ideally).
I don't travel much and I'm in front of a computer for most of my day. Not that there's anything wrong with any of the smart phones out there but it's not something I need. I just want a tiny phone in my pocket for calls and text messaging and the ability to use it as a modem when I do travel.
