Samsung confirms a Tegra-based smartphone is in the works, all other details shrouded in mystery

NVIDIA's Tegra chip has shown itself to be quite a gem, especially in the field of augmented reality zombie destruction. Looks like Samsung agrees with that sentiment, and has confirmed that it's currently developing a smartphone with the powerful processor. That's not a lot to go on, but knowing the capabilities of the CPU, we're excited. It's probably safe to assume an AMOLED touchscreen is a given, as well as a plethora of TouchWiz widgets, but whether or not the phone goes with Windows Mobile or Android is still a mystery. A recent rumor suggested one of the "top five" smartphone makers would be releasing a $199 GSM-based Tegra device by year's end -- no indication if these two reports are one in the same, but we'd love to see what Sammy has in store sooner rather than later.

Nice.
I'll take mine on Sprint with a HUGE keyboard with 4 rows and a numeric keypad under the qwerty keys like on the HTC Mogul please. =)

I played with the Touch Pro 2 this week and still want a larger keyboard without the number row on top.

I'll take at 4.3" screen or bigger as well.
Thanks.

If Iphone was the match that lit the fire of desire for faster phones. Then this is the nitro methane poured on top. DS/PSP say hello to your new competition.
