No, this is not the the pda+phone bit yet. The A460 comes at a time right before we really start to introduce some cool things. It doesn't have a colour display but it has a cool greyscale and the caller id display on the outside has graphics. It represents Samsung's departure from the norm, with a new user interface, cool blue LEDs on the keypad and screen, downloadable MIDI ringers (all new sounds), animation on the main display (screensaver like your computer), all at a great price. If I were a customer buying today, the A460 is a close second to the 5150. Imagine if the A460 had a brilliant color display?
Apparently this guy seems to believe there's one coming....

samsung, blah :D
This is the phone. It's smaller than the Nokia 8290 and weighs the same. It's bluetooth, gsm, and has a camera module that snaps in like a compact flash card would. And yes, it's color.

Watch phone--I had one of these last year, still have it. Way too expensive. Sound quality wasn't the best. Watch is bulky and a bit heavy on the wrist. No one would pay the price for this, and I can't tell you want that was.
TV phone--I had one of these two years ago. You can see it is practically a modified Samsung 8500. The screen is too tiny, for the price of the color display it is way too expensive compared to what the public would rather buy (simply a $100 Sony watchman). In B&W, the display was pretty crappy. The antenna is long and unwieldy, even when retracted. America is hooked on cable and satellite, not the network channels on the TV phone. Yes, it's cool but for the price, we wouldn't be able to sell enough of them.
Camera phone--Good idea, still a good idea today. But back then, it was like the MP3 phone. Getting the pictures in and out of the phone via a cable to your computer defeated the purpose of having a camera in a wireless phone. The price of a standalone digital camera is much lower than putting a camera in a low-end digital phone. Today digital cameras belong in high-end phones and this is going to happen. Mainly because the new network will be able to support using the digital camera wirelessly. On this particular low-end Samsung phone, the camera causes the price to skyrocket and the display is so tiny you could barely see the pics, plus there's not a lot of memory there. In it's present form, it wouldn't fly in America and if you've been to Korea lately (I'm sure you have), you really don't see that many camera phones there either. All I remember seeing was tiny low-end phones like Motorolas.
