Samsung will join China Mobile’s OPhone party with its all-touchscreen device – GT-I7680. The device that runs a special version of Android comes with TD-SCDMA 3G (used by China Mobile), tri-band GSM radio, WiFi (actually WAPI – a Chinese version of WiFi), 3.5-inch WVGA (800×480 pixels) AMOLED touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, 800 MHz CPU, standard 3.5mm headset jack, FM Radio, GPS and so on. In other words, it’s well rounded handset with all features you would expect from a modern smartphone.
Unfortunately, we don’t know the price nor the exact release date. As soon as we hear something on that front, you’ll be the first to know.
In the meantime, the Western hemisphere is waiting for one other Samsung baby – Galaxy S, which elevates the Android game with its 4-inch display — that’s 0.3 inches more than the Nexus One’s screen. Likewise, we’ll also notify you the second the Galaxy S starts selling. Stay tuned in the meantime…

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.
