Samsung Infinity: a budget full-touchscreen handset headed to AT&T

Rumor May 25, 2009

Next up from the deck that keeps on giving is the Samsung Infinity. Hardly as exciting as some of the other handsets we’ve seen from this deck, the Infinity is presumably set to replace the Samsung Eternity — whose name, by the way, now looks to be a blatant lie. Spec highlights for the Infinity include quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band UMTS, a low-grade 3-inch touchscreen display that’s hardly on par with Sammy’s recent AMOLEDs, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, aGPS and a 1,000 mAh battery. Ok, so we’ve apparently hit the dregs of this slide deck but it was fun while it lasted… And the Infinity will definitely make a decent affordable tween phone when it drops sometime in 2H.

    Ugh…..what’s going with At&t and all these releases?

    Are you going to fix the typing issue that people had on Samsung impression? (The impression would crash if you type I and space on the phone.)

    Also, I really doubt all these specs are real. If this phone is a replacement of samsung eternity, why would samsung put only 2 megapixel camera on the phone? Eternity is already a 3 megapixel camera. I know that samsung would never downgrade their devices.
    Finally, this phone is no AMOLED. So, yea… unless this is less than 99.99 dollars, I would look something else. However, I will give AT&T credits for preparing so many phones for their customers this year. This is why I keep my AT&T services. Verizon does not seem like spend any money to signing contract with other manufactures about keeping certain phones exclusive. Sprint has Palm pre, and AT&T has all of these cool phones + iphone. What does verizon have? Like few messaging phones and …. …
    More messaging phones…
    Verizon does have better network in my area than AT&T, but only by hair. I am not switching to VZ unless they can prove me I am wrong.

    It said presumed to replace. The Eternity does have live TV feature. This will appear to not. That must mean not many people are doing it. Unless it were a live sporting event, I would not need live tv on my phone as I can just DVR it and watch it later.

    What about Dancing with the stars Finale?

    @ BlackBerryBold: I assume that they’re trying to really bottom out the touchscreen market. Is there even a touchscreen phone out there thats free on contract or cheap cheap? The Vu on AT&T is $50 IIRC but its what 2, 3 years old at this point.

    I think they’re finally at the point were they can offer a recent touchscreen feature phone at a cheap or even free with contract price point. And no, I don’t think VZW is going to be proving you wrong any time soon.

    BTW anyone know what they mean by “chipset diversity”?

    possibly the sprint dash?
