Samsung WiMAX Phone Spotted

... quite the screen on there, but we haven’t heard anything else regarding release dates or specs. The Mondi is a likely candidate for a CTIA Wireless release however, so we’ll have to swing by the Samsung booth and see what’s up. Sprint (NYSE: S) has spent a lot of time and money on Clearwire, and it now all hinges on device adoption - what kind of first impression the Mondi makes on the public will say a lot about the future of WiMAX in America.

Samsung's WiMAX-equipped SWD-M100 MID outed as Mondi
Engadget —
... the first official pic of that WiMAX-enabled SWD-M100 MID we spotted at MWC as well as revealed a catchier name: Mondi. The device will utilize Clearwire's Mobile WiMAX network simply dubbed "Clear." Last we heard it was running Windows Mobile 6.1, but seeing as its sporting that dedicated Windows button required for WinMo 6.5, that all could change before it's release. Speaking of which, mum's the word on pricing or availability, we're afraid. [Via Phonescoop] Filed under: Handhelds Samsung's WiMAX-equipped SWD-M100 MID outed as ...
Gadget Leak: Samsung SWD-M100 Mondi WiMax MID
GadgetReview —
Wooops. Samsung slipped up today and showed off what is probably the first Wimax dedicated MID, the SWD-M100 Mondi. Resembling the Nokia N810, the Mondi appears to have both a touchscreen and slide out keyboard - that should satisfy both ends of the spectrum - and a front facing camera for late night nefarious video chats. Pontification appoints the Mondi to Clear’s Wimax network first, but no one really knows.

First Mobile Wimax Device From Samsung Will Be An Internet Tablet

... , Mar 27, 2009 10:50 AM [image] Samsung accidentally provided some information about its first handheld Wimax device for the U.S. market. The SWD-M100 Mondi resembles the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and OQO model 2+. It has a touch screen, which slides up to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. Many questions remain, though. The Mondi is bound for the Clear Wimax network at some point in the not-too-distant future. Pictures of the device confirm that it has a 4.3-inch touch screen with slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Other notable specs include a 3-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, microSD slot, ...

... saying that the Mondi's also the first WiMax device in the U.S., which it may indeed be. Nokia had been planning to launch a very similar N810 palm-top but shelved the scheme to focus on rival LTE handsets. We don't know exactly how much it'll cost, or when the Mondi will hit the market, but it'll likely be before the end of the year. The device looks pretty polished in terms of design, and the expansion of WiMax coverage tallies with that timing.

Samsung Mondi, first WiMAX MID in US...maybe?

... | Published March 27, 2009, 9:10 PM This week, Samsung confirmed to Phone Scoop that the SWD-M100 Mondi device demoed at Mobile World Congress '09 is coming to the Clear WiMAX network in the US. The tablet runs Windows Mobile 6.1, so the 4.3" touchscreen is therefore resistive (i.e., it requires a stylus).

It has a microSD slot for memory expansion, but there is not yet a spec telling what kind of onboard memory and ...
Samsung shares details on possible WiMAX device/tablet
Boy Genius Report —
WiMax is still around and kickin’, believe it or not, and Clear (formerly Clearwire, formerly Xohm) is planning to expand its networks soon. As such, it only makes sense that manufacturers are gearing up for the US expansion with some WiMAX devices, right? Samsung has dropped a few snippets of information on its SWD-M100 Mondi, which the company claims is the first handheld WiMAX device for the States. Burn. Judging by the popularity, or lack thereof, of the Nokia Internet tablet, we’re not quite sure how well this slider device will do or how Sammy ...
