More details of Samsung Electronics' planned mobile telephone based on Microsoft's Windows-Powered Smartphone 2002 platform are out after the telephone received approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Features of the model, according to documents submitted by Samsung, include dual LCD panels, a main one inside the telephone and a smaller panel on the outside that can be used to display information, for example the number of the person calling, while the handset is closed.
It also had an infrared port and a Secure Digital (SD) memory card slot which also supports the SD IO standard extension peripherals, such as digital cameras or Bluetooth modules. The handset will support, the documents said, both e-mail and SMS (short message service) and users can chose from one of three ways to input text: a numeric mode, the T9 system or multipress, in which keys are pressed between one and several times to get the desired letter.
