Samsung Mondi MID With WiMAX Available Soon

Samsung MondiBest Buy and Clearwire stores will start selling the Samsung Mondi MID on August 1 in the three U.S. cities with live WiMAX service. The Mondi runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and is powered by the ARM-11 processor. The interface has been customized by Samsung, allowing widgets to be placed as desired on the screen for a tailored user experience.

The unique MID has a 4.3-inch screen (WVGA) with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. The inclusion of Windows Mobile makes this more of a PDA, although with the very fast WiMAX connectivity. When used outside the WiMAX coverage areas the Mondi falls back to Wi-Fi. Note that the Mondi doesn’t offer traditional cellular voice support — there are settings to use VoIP, however.
