Samsung Introduces UMA Enabled T709 Cell Phone
February 11th, 2006
 Samsung
has announced the introduction of the T709 handset that
will save the user a lot of money in bills, and make travelling
with the handset so much more easier. How you ask? T709
allows users to travel between their home, work or wireless
LAN enabled restaurants, etc without any interruptions
or hassles in the signal. With this feature, you will
be able to make calls trouble free, download tons of multimedia
content without any problems, surf the net or just email
some friends hassle free!
When you carry around the T709, it will
automatically detect the nearest cell phone network, or
Wi-Fi hot spots thus making your use of the phone hassle
free. This cost effective way of phoning also means you
will save a lot of money on your monthly phone bills!
All this is made possible by UMA technology.
Jeremy Green, principal analyst of Ovum
quotes, "Most operators and vendors acknowledge that
UMA is a stepping-stone to a more fully convergent solution
that is closely aligned with IP standards, technologies
and approaches."
He adds, "UMA has some clear advantages,
apart from its current availability. It is closely aligned
with the GSM network architecture, and is thus easy for
most mobile operators to implement technically and commercially."
GertJan Kaat, senior vice president
of Philips SemiConductors (Mobile & Personal Business
Division) quotes, "The success of services offered
by major VoIP operators has proved that cheap internet
telephony has become increasingly popular with consumers.
We will continue to drive innovation by providing our
partners with exciting new technologies like UMA, delivering
the building blocks for superior products designed around
the consumer."
Peter Skarzynski, Senior Vice President
of Samsung quotes "Never before have consumers had
the kind of freedom in communicating made possible by
Samsung's T709. Samsung's T709 blazes a trail into the
totally wireless world, allowing consumers to stay connected
via cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity no matter where they
are."
Some of the other notable features of
the Samsung T709 include:
- 262 TFT color screens (enhanced display
of multimedia such as wallpapers, screensavers, animations,
etc)
- 1.3 megapixel digital camera
- mp3 and video player
- EDGE technology that allows data transfer
rates of this phone to be much higher than other ordinary
GSM cell phones. This means you can download multimedia
content, send emails and etc much faster than other GSM
cell phones.
