Samsung to release mammoth 10GB MP3 phone next year

Samsung Electronics plans to debut a mobile handset with 10GB HDD in the coming year. Ki-Tae Lee, President of Telecommunication Network, Samsung Electronics revealed on Thursday that Samsung plans to release an MP3 phone that will be able to store about 3000 music files.

The new 10GB HDD handset will blow away the SPH-V7900 that the handset maker announced in October. With a now tiny 3GB of storage, the SPH-V7900 will quickly become obsolete compared to the 10GB HDD mammoth. In comparison, 3GB is the capacity capable of storing 700 MP3 files, a file occupies 4MB of space on average while a 10GB capacity allows for 3000 MP3 songs. With this up coming capability, Samsung’s mobile handset will give the audio lovers an unprecedented talk and music experience.

Specific details are few and far between at this point, but if the SPH-V7900 was any indication of what is to come, next year can not come soon enough.

Along with the 8-megapixel phone announcement, Samsung president Ki-Tae Lee also revealed plans for a 10GB HDD phone for 2006. This will apparently hold about 3,000 MP3s, which is way more than the 700 MP3s that Samsung’s existing SPH-V7900 holds. Again, details are few and far between about this new 10GB phone, so who knows if it’s just tele-vapor.
