Samsung Cell Phone Features 3GB Hard Drive

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we're-getting-close-on-this-one dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Samsung will be showing off a new cell phone which runs on Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system which features a built-in hard drive. The SGH-I300 will offer 3GB of storage which allows you to store up to 1,000 songs on it for playback through the music player. The 3GB hard drive is similar to the type of hard drive that is found in Apple's Mini iPod. These 1-inch drives with very low power requirements, are ideal for cell phones and other mobile devices."

    I've dropped my Motorola V300 from waist height onto hard surfaces twice. No hard drive, but it is a cellphone. Total damage: some case scuffing. Hint: Don't buy nokia, kyocera, samsung etc crap cellphones and they will survive being abused. My previous phone (and my girlfriend's() which are a Siemens S46 (IIRC) and a Motorola V66 (definitely) have been dropped and abused a number of times over a two year lifespan and both work as well as they day we purchased them.

    Of course, THIS phone is a samsung phone, so I wouldn't want to carry it around. It's amazing how poor-quality their phones are. That vga1000 phone that people seem to love so much is a big piece of shit from both the hardware and software points of view, and every samsung phone I've held has felt flimy. I also extend the same criticism to nokia - the honda civic of the cellphone world. Made to be cheap and there's a zillion customizations, does not handle abuse AT ALL.
