Samsung Pairs EV-DO and Wi-Fi
Posted by John Yunker
Daily Wireless reports on the forthcoming Samsung SCH-i730 PDA phone, which will include EV-DO, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. This is the perfect mix of WLAN and WAN connectivity. Now will Verizon Wireless drag its heels on supporting this device or will Sprint be first out of the gate? Either way, I believe that carriers, despite their fretting about lost minutes of use, will learn to love Wi-Fi, for it will give their EV-DO networks some much-needed breathing room.
This could be my next handset.
