Samsung Mondi video walk-through

Despite WiMAX’s slow roll-out in the US, Samsung is committed to supporting the WiMAX revolution. The South Korean cellphone giant used the world-stage at CTIA Wireless 2009 to announce their first WiMAX device – the Samsung Mondi. The Samsung Mondi is headed to Clearwire’s WiMAX-based Clear network with WiMAX and WiFi connectivity, boasting a massive 4.3-inch touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

The Samsung Mondi uses a TouchWIZ-like UI overlay to hide the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional underpinnings, and we have to give Samsung kudos for a slick UI. The Mondi also features a 3.0-megapixel camera, GPS (Route 66), Bluetooth 2.0, HDMI video-out and 4GB of on-board storage.

Samsung’s Kim Titus was good enough to give us a little video walk-through of the Samsung Mondi. The Mondi isn’t going to replace a netbook or laptop, but with serious mobile broadband credentials, the Mondi will certainly find its place in the MID market.
