Samsung - Same phone, different shell...
Same flips, different trade show.
Bleh!
PS - Shame on Samsung for making such big news of the P705 TV Phone back in the 4Q of 2003 - where is it?!?
and I agree with you on the 705 đ
Now, they introduce things *after* everyone else.
Features that are becoming stale/common: Bluetooth, megapixel cameras (2 or 3mp would be what I consider *new*), music
At this point bt, music, and 1.x megapixel cameras are common - I could purchase any of a number of phones that play my mp3s or take 1.3 quality picture. I want something new - I don't drink coffee, so a phone doing that for me wouldn't be too awesome - maybe I'd be impressed for the "cool factor" -
And as for "all beauty, no brains" - sure Samsung has bt on many of their phones, but the last bt enabled Samsun...

What I meant was that Samsung was one of the first to the market with a color screen flip - this was a big feat seeing as there weren't too many out there.

Point proven with bt - they only offer one phone with it... seems a bit slow to accept such a common feature.
I think a lot of people are taking offense to my comments - I like Samsung - they make good phones - but lately, they can't seem to cough up much imagination (outside of a phone that you shake in the air for god knows what reason). That's just crazy. If you want to debate me on the functionality of a "shaker" phone, e-mail me.
To Samsung: Make a TV phone, get a new OS, and create something I haven't heard of yet that has purpose.
In regards to GPS - I didn't mean GPS by means of t...

You're right - I was thinking back to IR - when they gave each phone IR, but nothing you would typically do with IR was supported by the phone.

Albeit one small distinction between the two: Motorola hasn't exactly enjoyed the same high quality reputation as Samsung.
Right now, the creative things I'm interested in are being put out by Motorola. Samsung seems to be in a holding pattern/catching up with the creative and imaginative things that Moto is doing.
