Microsoft’s new clamshell from Samsung got the OK from the FCC today, and now the first picture and specs are up for the internet’s consumption and dissection. What the i270 lacks in fancy looks it promises to make up in fancy features: current plans call for internal and external TFT displays and a one megapixel camera for still photos or videos shot in sexy MPEG 4 quality. With a 64MB ROM and 32MB of RAM, and a slot for miniSD memory expansion built in, Samsung’s planning on you taking lots and lots of pictures. Expect other recent Samsung standards like Bluetooth and support for sound files including MP3, WMA, and AAC file types.
All in all, just fine, but not blowing minds. From the way Microsoft is talking, though, this sounds typical of this year’s Windows Mobile phones. Decent, capable, not fancy, but affordable.
