Samsung Prototype Devices

Mobile website Mobile Review has gotten a hold of some slides of Samsung prototype devices. (The slides have since been removed from Mobile Review.) Most of the devices are more conventional cell phone devices, but three are Windows Mobile based. One, code named "B-Bop," is a Phone Edition device. The other two are Smartphone devices, the "Javelin" and the "Thor," the latter of which is said to be running "MS Smartphone Magneto."

Here are the slides for the Phone Edition and Smartphone prototypes:

Samsung "B-Bop"
Samsung has requested we remove the information that was here, but in the words of Engadget, "the 'B-Bop', a smallish Pocket PC Phone ... with a slider-style keypad and a 400MHz processor, WiFi, Bluetooth, a two megapixel digital camera, and a miniSD memory card slot."

Samsung "Javelin"
Samsung has requested we remove the information that was here, but in the words of Smartphone Thoughts, "...based on Windows Mobile Smartphone 2003 Second Edition ... and has the following specs: fast 500MHz processor, 1 Mega Pixel camera, 65K color screen and miniSD."

Samsung "Thor"
Samsung has requested we remove the information that was here, but in the words of Smartphone Thoughts, "The second one is based on Windows Mobile 'Magneto' features a 3GB hard disk drive and is aptly codenamed 'HDD Music Smartphone.' This one looks like it has all the ingredients to be a big hit. It sports a 262K color screen with a resolution of 240x320. It has USB 2.0 for quickly syncing those big music files. A jog shuttle navigation system instead of the traditional joystick/joypad."

No further information is known about either device or if/when they would be released.

Update: I am sorry that the above slides and specifications had to be removed. As you can see they have been replaced with quotes and photos from sites that are still being allowed to run the information. Smaller mobile community websites like mine simply cannot fight large corporations that want information removed. The information that was here is available on many websites including mirrors of this site (which I have no control over). So is out in the open and it is unfair that sites such as mine should be targeted for removal even though davespda.com is one of many sites carrying the information. Plenty of other companies know how to hold on to their secrets...it isn't really my fault that someone else published Samsung's plans.

Update 3/10/2005: I have reposted two of the three slides because Samsung has demoed the B-Bop and the Thor (i300 and i750) at CeBIT 2005. Since the devices are public now and Samsung has published information on them at the conference, the slides return.
