Being the first one to do anything deserves some serious street-cred. Being the first mobile phone to be certified for Bluetooth 3.0 deserves our geeky attention. The Samsung S8500 has just become the world’s first mass production mobile phone to feature support for the Bluetooth 3.0 standard, as approved by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG). And, as usual, the Bluetooth SIG has leaked some information about the Samsung S8500.
According to certification documents, Sammy’s S8500 will feature a high-res 3.1-inch OLED display with an anti-glare coating. It’s supposed to be a compact and slim phone that will work on any GSM network in the world with its quad-band GSM radio. We have no idea how compact, or how slim, the device really is, so take that at face value.
Aside from that, we have little other info on the S8500. We suppose we should just be happy knowing that Bluetooth 3.0 is already official on at least one handset, but then again, that’s not our M.O.
