Samsung and Adidas team up to launch F110 fitness handset

Well, would you look at this? Not quite a year after we got some pretty strong whiffs of the SGH-F110 fitness phone, the rumor has at long last become a reality. Heck, even the model name stayed the same. Slated to launch in the UK next month, the Samsung / Adidas F110 (miCoach) is out to take on the mighty Nike+ training system, and besides the obligatory heartbeat monitor and step counter, the handset also boasts a built-in MP3 player / FM tuner, two-inch LCD and a two-megapixel camera. Additionally, the currently unpriced phone will chime in when you're not running hard enough, but feel free to drown it out with jams packed on the 1GB of internal memory.

Going head to head with competition who is further out front in Apple and possibly Nokia, who have had basic fitness phones for some time though with less functionality.
