ARTICLE: Samsung announces the SHW-M100S, complete with Android 2.1

Samsung SHW-M100S

Despite the fact that the device has no plans to venture to the United States (just yet, at least), it doesn’t mean that the SHW-M100S should go unnoticed.  With a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen, the device packs an 800 MHz processor, 5-megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 3.5mm headphone jack, and DivX support.  The SHW-M100S runs Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface on top of Android – a major point of contention for some.  Given the lukewarm feelings surrounding TouchWiz, it will be interesting to see how the device is received by consumers.

The Samsung SHW-M100S is slated for SK Telecom (and only SKT) at this time.  Despite the plans to keep it in South Korea for now, it’s nice to see Samsung ship a device with Android 2.1 pre-installed.  Could we see some US-bound 2.1 devices soon?
