Samsung SHW-A175S is yet another device which most likely won’t leave the shores of South Korea. To be fair, we’re not that sorry actually, considering it’s not a smartphone we’re talking about. Rather the A175S relies on Samsung’s home-made feature phone platform with Haptic UI running on top of it.
Rest of the specs include a 3.2-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) AMOLED touchscreen, 3G and WiFi connectivity, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth, T-DMB mobile TV receiver, 3.5mm headset jack and a microSD slot that works with memory cards of up to 16GB. Interestingly enough, this is an NFC-enabled device, allowing for contactless payments (though I doubt it will work outside of South Korea). Moreover, there’s the “standard for Korea” T-DMB receiver so users can enjoy TV programming while on the go.
Price and the availability date have not been unveiled…

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.
