Samsung R700 hits the FCC, it’s an unassuming CDMA touch phone
By Vlad Bobleanta on 29 Nov 10A new phone has hit the FCC, the as of yet unannounced Samsung R700. This is a dual-band CDMA device that supports EVDO 3G.
Gathering from the pictures released by the FCC, the Samsung R700 has a touchscreen, a camera, a headset jack and dedicated camera and lock keys.
It’s really unlikely that this is an Android-powered smartphone, since its buttons aren’t those required by Google’s mobile OS. As such, the R700 may just be a featurephone intended to get touchscreens into the hands of the (non-smartphone-touting) masses.
Based on a lack of AWS support, Phonescoop speculates that the Samsung R700 is probably headed to US Cellular. We’ll surely find out soon enough if that was the case.
