Samsung WiMAX Phone Spotted

Samsung first put their finger in the WiMAX pie not long ago, and it looks like they’re finally diving in. This picture and the model number SWD-M100 Mondi slipped through their RSS feed, and could potentially be the first device to run on the American Clear WiMAX network.That’s quite the screen on there, but we haven’t heard anything else regarding release dates or specs. The Mondi is a likely candidate for a CTIA Wireless release however, so we’ll have to swing by the Samsung booth and see what’s up. Sprint (NYSE: S) has spent a lot of time and money on Clearwire, and it now all hinges on device adoption – what kind of first impression the Mondi makes on the public will say a lot about the future of WiMAX in America.
