Esato reporting from CeBIT 2007 > Samsung Ultra

The Samsung Ultra Mobile TV (SGH-F510) and the Ultra Video (SGH-F500) looks exactly the same except that the TV model has an extractable antenna. When I commented the design and placement of the antenna to the Samsung staff, they replied that it was not for certain that the final production model would have the antenna built in like you see on the photo below. The Mobile TV and Video models are according to Samsung the first mobile phones to have support for the DIV-X video format. SGH-F510 will be on sale in Germany in 3rd quarter this year. There are no DVB-H transmissions available in Germany today, so the demonstrated tv-show was transmitted from Italy. The Sweep Touch UI navigation buttons reminds me of iPod navigation; touch and drag.
