Samsung Ultra Smart F700: The iPhone Killer?
Samsung’s not gonna wait and let Apple bite into their cellphone marketshare. And with the announcement of their new Samsung F700 today, looks like Apple has got serious competition.
Like the iPhone, the F700 sports a touchscreen interface. But, here are two things that the F700 does better: Slide-out QWERTY keyboard and VibeTonz technology which responds to touches with vibrations.
Touchscreen may have its advantages, but sometimes real keys with tactile feedback just work better. And with the F700, you have the choice. Even if you choose to use the touchscreen, the phone provides vibration feedback so it will likely work better than iPhone (unless Apple decides to add this, which should be easy).
Other notable features:
- 7.2Mbps HSDPA
- 5-megapixel camera (beats iPhone hands down)
- Full HTML browser (perhaps not as good as iPhone’s Safari?)
- 2.78-inch touchscreen display
The release date is unknown, but it will be showcased at the 3GSM World Congress next week. Sit tight for more details coming from the event.
