Samsung S-DMB Cell Phone Receives Radio and TV From Satellite

Aug 16, 2006

Samsung has taken the wraps off a new cell phone that can receive radio and TV broadcasts direct from satellite. The SCH-B500 phone is the thinnest handset yet to support this reception service, which is called S-DMB (Satellite Digital Mobile Broadcasting) and which is available only in South Korea.

The handset is 13.5 millimeters thick, or about half the thickness of the first-generation models that went on sale in early 2005. The phone comes with camera, MP3 player, Bluetooth wireless interface, and document viewer, as well as TV output.

There's also an audio book feature that will read aloud three fairy tales in any of four languages: Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and English.

The SCH-B500 will be available in South Korea only, just like the S-DMB service. No price was provided.
