has details about a new Pocket PC phone from Samsung: the i770. The flip phone features an interesting "butterfly" keyboard that features two letters per button, where pressing the key to the left will register one letter while pressing the right side will input the other. It also sports a 2-megapixel camera, a Micro SD slot, an external color display, and Bluetooth. According to FCC filings, the i770 will be a triband (GSM 900/1800/1900; EDGE) phone; there's no word yet on when and if it will be available in the United States, but the lack of support for the GSM 850 band may limit its use here.
