This phone would be the answer to my PDA phone prayers. Except that it is a CDMA phone. Will Samsung wake up and offer a GSM version of this phone? I want something exactly like this to use with T-Mobile. Can anyone suggest something before I go crazy?

Cingular has the HP iPAQ hw6510/hw6515 which is a fantastic GSM Pocket PC phone.

Perhaps T-Mobile will get this as well.

This device is designed to function on CDMA while in the US, and GSM abroad. The phone does not have the ability to use GSM domestically as some of you are assuming. I have not heard of any plans on releasing a GSM version of this device, but there are several Windows Mobile smartphones available to GSM users. Cingular and T-Mobile are both releasing versions of the HTC Wizard and Tornado. Cingular also has the HP iPaq 6515.
