The Samsung Eternity features quadband GSM/EDGE, dualband HSDPA, a 3.2 inch WQVGA resolution widescreen display, TouchWiz widget based user interface, HTML browser, media player, GPS support via AT&T Navigator, 3.2 megapixel camera with video recorder and Video Share support, Mobile TV support via MediaFLO, microSDHC expansion slot, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, speakerphone, and the full suite of AT&T services (Mail, IM, XM, Music, CV, mobiTV).
The Nokia 6650 is available for $269.99 with No Commitment or $119.99 after a new 2 year agreement before an additional $50 mail-in rebate via prepaid Visa card, bringing the total to $69.99 while the Samsung Eternity is available for $369.99 with No Commitment, or $199.99 after new 2 year agreement before the same aforementioned rebate terms, bringing the total to $149.99.
Similar to the Vu, the Samsung model isn’t described as a smartphone and so will compete more against high-end media phones. Samsung will bring its in-house operating system with a TouchWiz layer rather than use Windows Mobile like some of its touch devices. The leak would have the Eternity ship in November for $149 with a two-year plan. There’s already a fans forum for this at http://www.Samsung-Eternity.com check it out folks.
