Samsung today launched the SGH-P200 in the Italian marketplace, world's first Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) phone.
Through UMA, a next-generation technology standard which allows for seamless handover between cellular networks and fixed IP networks (hot spots), the Samsung P200 can freely switch between GSM, GPRS, EDGE and wireless LAN networks (WiFi) for free voice and data communication both in mobile and fixed modes.The UMA phone thus has far greater mobility, compared to existing WiFi phones that can be used in a limited manner, only in hot spot areas. For instance, with the UMA phone, high-speed large-capacity data communication or VoIP is possible though WiFi in places installed with hot spots such as at home and schools and in places without WiFi, the cellular network is used instead. The P200 also comes in a sophisticated slide-up design as well as cutting-edge features including 1.3-megapixel camera, a camcorder, multimedia messaging system (MMS), MP3 and file viewer functions. The launch of Samsung's UMA phone will follow in other European countries soon. Samsung SGH-P200 Specification Standard: GSM / GRPS / EDGE; UMA, WiFi (802.11 b/g) Camera: 1.3-Megapixel Camera with Flash Display: 1.9-inch 176 x 220 px 262K-Color TFT Features: - Video Playing (MPEG4 / H.263) - Music Player (MP3 / AAC / ACC+) - Pictbridge, USB - Document Viewer Memory: 80 MB embedded Size: 95 x 44 x 22.5 mm Weight: 95g
