The Samsung i780 may be the first 320x320 Windows Mobile touch-screen device

My new BlackBerry buddy, Hector, sent me a link to a very cool rumored Windows Mobile Professional (touch screen) device from Samsung. GPS and Co has some details on the Samsung i780. The rumored specs include a 2.6 inch touch screen display at 320x320 resolution (a first for WM), QWERTY keyboard, Assisted GPS receiver, tri-band GSM (no AT&T support with this particular model), EDGE and 2100 MHz 3G (outside the US), 2 megapixel camera, 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2Dp, 802.11 b/g WiFi, and microSD slot. This bad boy seems to have it all in a very slim form factor. I may have to keep my eye out on the US importers for this unit and use it with T-Mobile USA.

The 320x320 display resolution is great to see on a Windows Mobile device and hopefully Palm starts putting this into their WM Treos that are still at 240x240. The Palm OS Treo devices have 320x320 and I think it works well in this size display. Check out the link to GPS and Co for a couple of great photos of this rumored device.
