Samsung's dictaphone

![]() The product: The stylish, black Samsung P207 is more than just a pretty face. This sleek flip handset is also the company's first speech-to-text dictation phone in the United States. With the feature, users can convert speech into text, and for a truly hands-free lifestyle, they also get voice recognition for number and name dialing. The triband mobile (GSM 850/1800/1900) also supports EDGE for high-speed data and comes with text and multimedia messaging, instant messaging, and e-mail capability. MP3 ring tones add a touch of personalization, and both the external 65,000-color screen and the internal 262,000-color screen should be easy on the eyes. The prospects: The P207's speech-to-text dictation sounds great--hopefully it can live up to its potential. We also approve of the EDGE support and multiformat messaging. Its lack of Bluetooth is a disappointment, though, and we would also like to see a speakerphone. By Kent German, associate editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
