Samsung’s first Android smartphone with built-in projector is now available in the UK, with Expansys asking 394.99 GBP (about $613) for the unlocked, SIM-free device. At the moment I’m writing this, there were few units left in the stock, so if you badly want the Galaxy Beam – you better act quickly.
If you recall, this isn’t exactly the most-powerful device made by Samsung but it’s the only such phone that runs Android and can beam an image or video from the screen to the wall. Specs wise, the Beam has a 4-inch WVGA screen, 1GHz dual-core processor, 768MB of RAM, 5-megapixel rear camera, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, 8GB of built-in storage and a 2000mAh battery which is pretty good if you don’t use the projector. Otherwise, I doubt it can last for more than couple of hours. Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show out of box but we’re sure an Ice Cream Sandwich update will be released later this year.
So if all this sounds appealing to you, proceed to this page at Expansys’ website and take it from there.

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.
