Samsung is launching Mpower 699 slider phone in India, which is apparently the world’s first OMH (Open Market Handset) CDMA handset that could be used on multiple CDMA-based networks. Moreover, the device also supports existing R-UIM/SIM cards.
Rest of the specs include 1.3-megapixel camera, music player, FM radio, and a microSD memory card slot. Price wise, the Mpower 699 will be offered for Rs. 7,100.
Finally and this is where it could get really interesting, Samsung may be releasing other, higher-end OMH handsets, which may be offered as unlocked devices, just like GSM phones. We’ll see how that goes…

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.
