Video: Samsung Show W7900 projector phone gets specced, demoed

Samsung's Show (formally known as the W7900) made a brief but resonating appearance at CES this year, and now, the lucky kids over at PopSci have managed to acquire a few more juicy specifications as well as a few moments of coveted hands-on time. The forthcoming projector phone, which is apt to land in South Korea first, includes a 3.2-inch OLED display (400 x 240 resolution), quad-band GSM connectivity, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, a five megapixel camera, support for video calling and the obligatory ten lumen projector that shoots 480 x 320 images out at up to 50 inches. The entire device measures in at 4.4- x 2.2- x 0.7-inches, and it actually doesn't emit a half bad image when the lights are all down. Have a look for yourself just after the break.

"Not a capacitive touch screen." Too bad.

Just for your information, the name of 'Show' is the service brand name for KTF, the second largest one in South Korea.

Oh my word!

"the obligatory ten lumen projector that shoots 480 x 320 images out at up to 50 inches"

I think I need to go lie down for a minute...

The phone still needs some improvement but the projector just overshadows everything. I, for one, am not too fond with Samsung's widget interface. I think the Pixon, Omnia, and Samsung as a whole would be better without it.

Will this work if I bring it from Korea to the United States on ATT's network? I am almost positive the phone portion will work but I'm just curious if the data / web-browsing capabilities will work. Please excuse my ignorance as I was previously a CDMA Verizon customer so I have no experience with using "outside" phones. Thanks.
