Samsung's dual-mode W629 for China

by Chris Ziegler, posted Dec 10th 2007 at 2:33PM

We don't see a lot of dual-mode action around here, but in areas of the world where cell coverage is a disjoint patchwork of GSM and CDMA networks, having the capability to switch between services seems like a nifty trick. Samsung's no stranger to the concept, and its latest dual-mode model kinda makes us wish we had a need for such fancy technological trickery: meet the W629, a neat lookin' little phone in the vein of the company's so-called credit card phones featuring a 2.6 inch display, 3 megapixel cam, and Bluetooth. It should hit mainland China before the end of the year.

Doesn't it look like the Samsung Giorgio Armani cellphone, without the designer stuff?

It should hit the US in 5 years.
