Samsung finally released their SCH-B600 10 megapixel camera phone in Korea, almost exactly 7 months after the product was first announced back in March ’06. The features are pretty much as reported originally, but with the surprise added feature of a satellite TV tuner.
Photographers can now watch TV on the QVGA screen between photo shoots and phone calls. No word on battery life, but it can’t be all that good, what with EVDO, Bluetooth, TV reception, an MP3 player, dual speakers, a flash unit, not to mention having to drive all those pixels around…otherwise, it seems like quite the device, provided the build quality holds up, of course. $900.

The satellite TV tuner is a neat idea. I wish all phones had this feature.
For me, watching TV is a waste of my cell phone’s battery life, not to mention an unnecessary distraction.
