The SPH-M4650's haptic technology is said to give users tactile feedback by vibrating as they touch icons on the 2.8-inch display. Another unusual feature of the device, Samsung says, is iPhone-like full screen Web browsing, whereby users see an entire, miniaturized Web page initially and can then zoom in for reading.
The phone also has the standard mobile Internet Explorer browser, along with the other software that is part of the Korean edition of Windows Mobile 6 Professional. This includes push email, Pocket Office, Windows Media Player 10, Microsoft Reader, an English dictionary, and more, according to Samsung.
