Good ol’ Samsung is more than serious when it comes to China. And while most other handset makers are still in the phase of “working on it,” the Korean giant has figured out how to appeal to both Chinese 3G and other networks around the world. Their newly announced SGH-T578H sports both TD-SCDMA (Chinese 3G standard) and GSM radios allowing you to roam across the world, China included. Apparently, users of this device should expect download speeds of up to 2.8Mbps which is not bad, you gotta admit. We’ve no information about the release date, but something tells us you’ll be able to grab one of these just in time for the Olympics.

And Engadget post says that this phone has SOFTWARE BASED RADIO. This is a dream come true. With the appropriate software this phone could possibly be flashed to work on ANY kind of network (CDMA, W-CDMA 2100, 1900, 1700, 850, TS-SCDMA, and good ole GSM). Now NOKIA… Swallow this idea and make your phones a TRUE WORLD roamers.
