I just got confirmation that Sammy’s new i900 will NOT run Windows Mobile. Instead, it will sport the same user interface as the F700v aka Croix. The i900 is essentially the anorexic sibling of the F700v due in part to the lack of slide out keyboard. Make sure to check out my exclusive review of the Vodafone Croix. Click over to watch video demos of the Croix and Armani after the jump. Or click to see more pictures of the Samsung F490 and Sprint M800.

How disappointing. I’d really like to see a version of the F700 running Windows Mobile, the hardware has potential but the OS seems to be holding it back from smartphone-greatness.

I think it’s the same case as the LG Prada phone where LG decided to use a proprietary OS, then realized hey lets use Windows Mobile on future devices such as the LG Vu / CU920. Only time will tell if Samsung will venture out…
