Today at CES,  Samsung Mobile and AT&T surprised us with not only a phone that is being referred to as a phablet  (phone/tablet) due to it’s  5.3” HD Super AMOLED screen size.  That it also will be available in carbon blue and ceramic white.  Normally Android users don’t get a color option when it comes to new devices, so to hear about this was a real treat!

This device running Android 2.3 will come equipped with a  S Pen™ aka a stylus. This pen delivers fast, responsive and precise control to create fine lines and detail on the device display. It is so precise that it’s being compared to actually using an ink pen and a pad of paper.

A 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 16GB onboard memory, a 8MP rear and 2MP facing camera are a few features of this new gadget. Check out the detail below for more specifications.

One thing that stands out from this list of features is the 2500 mAh battery. We are glad that Samsung not only delivered a larger screen that gives us ultra-smooth game play and video playback, but that they also included the battery life to support it.

  1. When the Dell Streak came out I KNEW it was only a little while before
    something MUCH better would come out. That it is a bit larger is only a
    BONUS. The Streak to be about the perfect size, but the screen and OS
    version lacked a LOT. I can’t believe it is finally coming. AND, in
    multiple colors. Dell could have had a real winner if they had actually
    promoted the Streak, but Samsung now has the ball and is obviously on a
    roll. Already over a million sold, and they aren’t even in the best
    market yet (USA). I can only hope that they also are available on
    Sprint. I will really have heartburn if I have to switch to ATT just to
    get this ideal phone. Have you seen the lineup of available accessories? I
    guess having it come out a few months earlier (they sold a MILLION in
    only 2-3 months) in Europe only works to our (US) advantage, as there
    are several nice accessories available already with a nice list
    of more to come shortly. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!
