Samsung Phone Packs 3GB Hard Drive

A 7-megapixel camera with phone isn't the only hybrid device Samsung has on display this week at CeBIT in Germany. The electronics giant and number two phone maker has developed a Windows Mobile based handset with 3GB hard drive, which enables the device to offer iPod-like music and storage capabilities.

The SGH-I300 doubles the storage of Samsungs first hard drive phone that debuted last September, and is the first such device to function on GSM networks. But Samsung isn't the only manufacturer rolling out new mobile phones with big capacities for multimedia; Motorola is preparing its own hard drive laden handset, which is expected to appear before the end of the year.
