Information surfaced this week on the FCC web site about a new Samsung messaging phone with a QWERTY thumb keyboard. The Samsung SGH-D307 appears to be Samsung's answer to other recent messaging phones such as the Motorola A630 and LG F9100. The device has a dual-flip hinge similar to the Motorola MPx, allowing the phone to be opened like a typical clamshell to place calls, or horizontally for typing. According to FCC documents, features of the D307 include quad-band GSM, EDGE high-speed data, Bluetooth, an internal antenna, and an outer caller-ID display. The model numbering and frequency bands are consistent with phones for Cingular.

Star Wars

Does anyone know of any Star Wars ringtones you can purchase thru 'getitnow'.

Please ask your question in the right place - the Verizon forum or the Tricked Out forum.

Not Bad

IMO, this looks like it would be more user-friendly than the MPx prototype. The keypad looks like it would have better tactile feedback than Moto's "one-piece" design.

Looks even better than the Razr, and will probably outperform it as well.

No Camera???

I didn't see anything in the brief article about a camera.

Everything else seemed to be good and from the picture it looks like the the keypad is big enough.

I thought that the Motorola A630's keypad was a bit small.
I saw Star Wars
No, I'm 95% sure there's no camera on this one. I assume that's with business types in mind (where camera-phones might be banned in the office). That makes sense for an email-oriented device like this. This is going after the BlackBerry market, and th...
