NewsFactor Network | Samsung Introduces an ‘iPhone Killer’

Apple’s iPhone isn’t even available yet and already it’s got 2 competitors. Samsung’s recent entry, the F700 isn’t just another touch screen phone. It sports a 5 megapixel digital camera and a tactile feedback system they call VibeTonz. Samsung also chose to go with HSPDA which will allow data rates similar to 802.11b as opposed to iPhone which is limited to a paltry 800Kbps even on Cingular’s newest version of their EDGE network. Apple may have the better interface for now, but they’re going to have to rethink the network if they want to compete with the likes of Samsung and LG.
