Cingular’s preparing to scoop up and scoop out the most recent Q-killer (I think it’s already been murdered, personally). The folks over at Engadget Mobile note that the Windows Mobile-running Samsung SGH-i607 is “expected to bring quad-band GSM / GPRS / EDGE / HSDPA data, Bluetooth, MicroSD expansion”. That’s not all – it’s got a side-mounted scroll wheel. And THAT’S not all. That wheel is said to be “on-par, or better than those on RIM devices.”
Listen, Samsung – I can slap on a pair of sunglasses and sing in baritone, but that doesn’t mean I’m Robert Goulet. A side-mounted scroll wheel isn’t what put RIM on the map – it’s the overall device. Interesting to see where this beast ends up a few months past it’s release date.
