"Vastly superior" Wibro (WiMAX) replaces WiFi in Samsung devices

by Staff Writer | posted on 12 April 2007


The three newly introduced products from Samsung are aimed at Korean buyers, where the Wibro version of WiMAX is a de facto standard. They will include a PDA Smart Phone, a "top-tier multimedia convergence device," and also a USB Dongle and PCMCIA card, reports Stevie Smith of Monsters and Critics.

The phones are of no interest to European or other GSM users. "The SPH-M8100 is a PDA Smart Phone that delivers wireless Internet access and voice and video telephony to its users via WiMAX and a CDMA 1x EV-DO," reports Smith.

Full (though sadly uncritical) details here.
