The phone, available only for Korean CDMA 1xEV-DO networks, also includes the ability to broadcast MP3 music to nearby FM radios, and output images to a connected TV. Other features of the SPH-V5400 include a megapixel camera and dual color displays. The phone is expected to be released in Korea later this month.
