Samsung SGH-T578H, first multi-mode phone?

Not sure if you are familiar but Samsung made a habit of being the first to release a bunch of mobile phones with “world’s first” in front of the codename. From lightest to slimmest and so on, this time they managed to create the first TD-SCDMA HSDPA/GSM/GPRS/EDGE multi-mode cellphone, teaming up with NXP Semiconductors and T3G Technologies.

You may not know what all those characters out there mean but I will translate it in English; the new Samsung SGH-T578H (that’s the actual name) should be able to (theoretically) download data at 2.8Mbps thanks to NXP’s embedded vector processor (EVP), that also allows multi-mode on the TS-CDMA networks. This is going to be a totally different experience for video calls and I guess they have a very good (to be read huge) market in China, so it may become a win-win situation for the new SGH-T578H.

I don’t have a price or a release date yet.
