July 04, 2006 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R.

Unfortunately HTC - the manufacturer of majority of Windows Mobile phones sold nowadays - is too complacent to understand, that users need mobile phones with QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage - and is not producing such phones at all (!), therefore it is good to see that time to market of Samsung is shorter than that of HTC, Palm and Motorola! Here comes the thinnest (it is smaller and thinner than Motorola Q) MS Smartphone in the world with QWERTY keyboard for single handed usage:



Unlike Motorola Q and Windows Mobile Treo 700w this phone can work also outside of USA because it supports global cellular standard of GSM!

Information from Samsung follows.
