Sure, Mobile World Congress kicks off in just under a week, but that doesn’t mean all the big boys are going to hold off on their product announcements. Take Samsung, for example, which today announced the S5620 Monte. Running the propriatary TouchWiz 2.0 Plus UI, the Monte features one-touch access to popular social media sites like Facebook and MySpace while supporting services such as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and Google Sync. Physically speaking we find a 3″ WQVGA capacitive touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera, 200MB of internal memory expandable via microSD and chips for A-GPS, Wi-Fi and 3.6Mbps UMTS/HSDPA. Right now it doens’t look like the Monte is North America bound simply because it lacks the proper 3G bands, but one never knows. Pricing and availability have yet to be announced.

      As long as it isn’t that awful cube interface. I’m interested in learning more about Bada myself.

    All this bubbly excitement for a basic touch phone…

    But the Nokia Nuron, which is about equally equipped, is boring and “best left for kiddies”.

    Is it because of the one click myspace link? Is that what defines a cool phone?

    Couldn’t agree with you more. With how easy it is to hide a malicious link inside those bit.ly craplinks, you’d think a technology blog would look out for its readers just a bit more.

  • Dara

    On the contrary, I think that this place needs more malicious links.

    But I’m a bit of a Darwinian.
