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…
