Samsung Epix with optical mouse
Remember when Samsung started showing off their Samsung i780 Windows Mobile smartphone? Remember how the mobile world was split on whether that optical trackpad/mouse was a good fit with the touchscreen handset? Right, well Samsung has finally gone live with the first smartphone to feature a built-in optical mouse.
Following on the FCC’s approval of the Samsung i788, which is the US version of the Samsung i780, AT&T has launched the handset as the Samsung Epix. As we mentioned previously, AT&T seems to have ditched the “BlackJack” moniker in favor of a more “epic” brand. The US will be seeing the Samsung BlackJack III hitting retail shelves as the Samsung Epix.
The Samsung Epix features a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio, making the handset a world-traveller. And, with a tri-band (850/900/2100Mhz) UMTS/HSDPA radio (capable of 3.6Mbps HSDPA speeds) to ensure compatibility with any 3G network in the world, jet-setters will be happy to know that they can make voice calls and surf the high-speed wireless web anywhere in the world with their AT&T Samsung Epix.
The rest of the Samsung Epix’s spec-sheet reveals everything we would expect from the latest Windows Mobile Professional smartphone from Samsung. Rounding out the feature-set is the WiFi radio 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, and microSD card slot (expandable up to 32GB). And, let’s not forge that optical touchpad sitting above the time-tested QWERTY keyboard.
