1.5GB mobile phone

Okay ... this is what I want my next phone to be like. This CultOfMac report on a new phone from Samsung sounds flippin' awesome. 320x240 colour screen, megapixel camera, 1.5GB harddisk, built in FM transmitter, TV output (!!!), and built-in stereo speakers. The original TechWorld report is here.

The phone is being discussed as an iPod killer. I don't know about that, 1.5GB translates to about 15 albums worth of 128Kbps MP3s - not enough for a real music freak. However for me the killer features are most definitely the hard disk, megapixel camera, FM transmitter, and TV out. While I probably won't go for a $800 Samsung phone, it should only be a matter of time before Nokia or SonyEricsson incorporate most of these features. The one probable drawback will be battery life. Neither of the articles discuss it, but with a built in hard disk I would be surprised if it could manage a whole day of moderate use.
