Samsung SCH-W420 Haptic phone TouchWiz User Interface

Samsung’s SCH-W420/W4200

Check out Samsung’s latest creation to go against Apple’s iPhone. I love the design and functionality like the terrestrial broadcast TV receiver. The phone is going to sell for $700 to $800 and is Korea only. Hopefully we can see this in the US sometime soon!

The Samsung SCH-W420 offers to 'communicate' with you via 22 kinds of vibrations. Samsung apparently believes you can remember and distinct that many different vibrations. Actually the phone uses some of the vibrations to give you tactile feedback on user interface controllers. For instance, when adjusting the volume the graphic knob makes a clicking noise and vibration.

Types of callers are also marked with different vibrations.

Other features of this clean styled Samsung phone include DMB TV, 2MP camera and 3.2 inch screen.The SCH-W420 is only 12.1mm thin.

Nokia 3555

Looking to grab a little low-end 3G handset on T-Mobile America? Your choices just got a bit more appealing. The Nokia 3555, which has been floating around the rumor mill for quite some time now, has just launched on T-Mobile USA. What does $50 (after a $100 instant rebate) buy you? A VGA camera, microSD slot, media player, and on-board AIM/MSN/ICQ clients, and not a whole lot more. Support for the 1700 mhz WCDMA 3G band is nice, but is of little use considering the fact that T-Mobile’s 3G network, umm, non-existent. $50 for a handset like this isn’t a bad deal, but there’s nothing here that would prompt us to run out and grab one.
