Yeah, we knew this is coming. With the i740 smartphone, Samsung is targeting mid-range phone buyers who may have not used smartphone in the past and/or emerging markets — it was officially announced in Ukraine, after all.
The Windows Mobile 6.1 powered device sports a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, 3.2 megapixel camera, built-in GPS receiver, FM radio, Bluetooth, and a microSD memory expansion slot. There’s a tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS radio on board, but the lack of 3G and WiFi connectivity will be a deal breaker for many of the existing smartphone users, who take those two features for granted — or at least I do. Still, for around 285 EUR you can’t expect much more, can you?

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
