Samsung Shows New WP7 Phone That May Be Based On Galaxy S II

After the initial crop of Windows Phone 7 devices, there have not been that many new gadgets. At the Microsoft Partner Conference however, a WP7 Samsung that may be based on the Galaxy S II made a quick appearance. This could be the Samsung i937, a phone that's been in the rumor mill for a while now.


Microsoft's corporate vice president Steve Guggenheimer did not give away much - "it's very thin and light" is about all he said. Which is what you would expect from a Galaxy S II based phone.
The styling of the mystery Samsung WP7 phone was reportedly similar to that of the S II and featured the Home, Back and Search keys that all WP7 phones must have. The phone was shown at a distance, so its hard to say if the screen was a SuperAMOLED Plus or not.




We could probably expect the new Samsung WP7 phone in time from Christmas when HTC, LG, Acer, ZTE and Fujitsu will be unveiling new Windows Phone 7 mobiles as well.
Nokia's plans do not seem to include any WP7 action for this year. Still, maybe all these plans for new phones from several companies will please Steve Ballmer.
