Samsung SCH-W890 dual-DMB: a phone for Korean TV addicts

Samsung is all set to launch a new device in its domestic market. The name of the model is SCH-W890 and it will be sold through SK Telecom. The device will be in the shape of a clamshell and will come with specs that will include a 2.8-inch WQVGA display, 2-megapixel camera along with front-facing camera for video calls, Bluetooth, text-to-speech capability, SOS function, Subway Maps and media player.

The SCH-W890 rocs support for both satellite and terrestrial DMBs for South Korean mobile TV viewers. In other words an individual will have his mobile phone even in places where terrestrial signals can’t reach him. Mobile TV is a big thing in South Korea and Japan and efforts have been made to push such a service in the U.S. and Europe but so far there has been no success.
