Documents recently published on the Bluetooth Special Interest Group web site confirm some details about an unannounced handset from Samsung. The SGH-i917 Cetus will run Windows Phone 7, and is among the first handsets confirmed to have the unreleased operating system from Microsoft. Other details shared by the Bluetooth SIG note that the i917 has an 800 x 480 4-inch AMOLED display, 5 megapixel camera, user-facing VGA camera, threaded SMS/MMS, Internet Explorer browser, stereo radio, GPS, and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. Curiously, the i917 only supports audio Bluetooth profiles and Phone Book Access. It doesn't support OPP (OBEX) or DUN for tethering. The model name strongly suggests that the i917 will be sold by AT&T.
