Samsung Delivers Latest US-Based Mobile Music Phone

Samsung Delivers Latest US-Based Mobile Music Phone

Samsung and carrier partner T-Mobile tossed the latest mobile music device into the US-based market on Monday. Like other music-focused handhelds, the appropriately-titled Beat blends telephony with song, and crams a massive number of functions into a tiny phone. Music fans will appreciate features like external music controls, stereo speakers, and support for Bluetooth stereo headphones.

Other features include a 1.3 pixel camera, a camcorder, and a pre-loaded 1GB microSD card. The Beat is being offered for an affordable $99, though takers will be roped into a two-year T-Mobile contract. That is a steep discount from the higher-profile iPhone, though iTunes Store downloads are incompatible with the Beat. The Samsung device offers support for codecs WMA, MP3, AAC, and ACC+, but not the critically-important Apple AAC. The diminutive device is a quadband, GSM/EDGE flip.
