As expected,this is the two sided Samsung handset+.  The design leaves some questions, though. Sure, it's new and novel. Is it useful, though?

The front screen doesn't look big enough to run applications.  However, the rear screen doesn't have a keypad for entering any dato in to it.  So what is one supposed to do?  Can you not do email? Play games that need to digit pad? Use shortcut keys when browsing?

Maybe it will support the Bluetooth HID to help out.  That would at least be something.

As a music and video phone, though, it might be relateively nice since you end up with a larger screen than you would have otherwise.  It's probably more useful than the LG Chocolate on Verizon where the keys are very difficult to accurately hit and not accidentally hit since they aren't physical keys.

Only time will tell if this design works or not.  Certainly the simplicity of a candy bar for just phone calls is nice, too.  I like that about my Verizon VX9800 (The V).  How many people really use all that many applications, anyway?  This might be ideal for the person who just wants a phone and a media player in one.
