Today in Hong Kong at the ITU Telecom World show, Samsung launched the i600: an 11.8mm thin 
QWERTY messaging device. Samsung is hoping that the i600 can grab some market share in the new email device war-zone. The i600 is powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone, and supports WLAN 802.11b/g, HSDPA, and Bluetooth with the A2DP stereo headset profile. The device also has a 1.3MP camera that is good enough for emergency shots. All in all, the i600 looks like a pretty complete messaging device.
The SGH-i600 supports UMTS with HSDPA data on the 2100MHz frequency band, and also supports GSM and EDGE data on all four of the common GSM bands. It comes with an RSS reader and a podcasting application, and supports Microsoft’s Direct Push technology for over the air synchronization of email and personal data. Samsung SGH-i600 (MobileBurn)
