Samsung has unveiled a hard-disk-based SPH-V7900 mobile phone which sports a staggering 3GB hard disk drive. Offering twice the capacity of its predecessor, the SPH-V7900 also boasts two cameras (one with 2-megapixel resolution), dual screens and twin speakers in a twist-flip housing, and the main TFT LCD screen has QVGA (240x320 pixels) resolution. There's also an MP3/video player onboard, and the whole thing measures 103x52x27.6mm and weighs 165g. Samsung claims 4.5 hours of talk and 200 hours standby.

With a lot of other advances in tiny storage from mp3 players to laptops with flash and even a HDD for the PSP, it's no surprise that Samsung is now offering a phone with 3GB of storage on it. When most cells today come with 4mb to 512mb, this is actually somewhat impressive. It's the largest capacity for a cell to date. The first line, dubbed SPH-V7900, also sports a higher quality digital camera than other Samsung models. The price is quite a handful, starting at a whopping $718, but of course with time this will change.

We may soon have phones that can not only take pictures and store media, but also record conversations or much more. Interesting stuff.

the samsung looks and sounds great

as for having phones that can record conversations etc, we already have them

The Samsung looks more sensible, IMO. I'd probably go for the Samsung if I had to pick.

PS. Who do you work for? dual phone as in a tri mode CDMA phone (works on telus or bell), that will be capable of taking a sim card and switching to gsm for clients who travle to countries where only gsm is available

Isn't that the same as getting a tri-mode phone unlocked? :dunno: I'm no phone expert.

HDD based is bad news for people that drop their phones. I'm careful with my phone, but I still drop my phone hard once a year...and that's all it takes to kill the HDD. What I don't understand is why not just go with 2GB flash? Why so much storage in the first place? WTF is all that space for? 2mp pics and small vids don't need that much space...

Are you sure it's not Flash based? The Nano's are flashed based at 4Gb...

[djayz]

wtf do you need two cameras in a phone for?
isnt one enough?!

:rofl: One is to take of other people and the other of yourself? :nut:

this is like having a cd player that will play both cds and minidisk....kind of a bad analogy but you get my drift

the phone will be a CDMA phone, for the better DATA capabilities, and when needed it will be able to switch and roam on a gsm network

Ohhh makes sense now, good example too :thumbsup:
