Samsung, KT hooking up for new WiBro-enabled phone

If this picture looks a little "off," yeah, we know what you're talking about -- it's hard to say how any graphic designer could've mis-rendered a mocked-up screenshot this badly -- but just squint your eyes a little bit and play along, won't you? This is apparently a conceptual view of Samsung's new SPH-M8400 for South Korea's KT, which will become just the manufacturer's second phone to feature WiBro (and KT's first) after the M830 / M8300. In fact, they've coined a fun little term for it -- 3W -- which means you're getting WiBro, WiFi, and WCDMA all wrapped up in one for the total 3G / 4G experience. Neither a date nor pricing are easy to come by at this point, but unless you happen to be around Seoul, that WiBro compatibility isn't going to do you a heck of a lot of good anyhow.

Cool looking phone.

Sidenote: Hopefully no one freaks about the phone being for South Korea and you referenced "squint your eyes"

Mock up artist should be stabbed. Where is it acceptable practice to have this?


Artist,"Oh it doesn't fit"
I interrupt,"That's what she said"
Artist goes ahead and stretches image.
I pull out my Halloween plastic knife.

Is WiBro South Korea's version of WiMAX?
