Peer past the frenzied watermarking and you’ll see what could be Samsung’s new flagship smartphone, all set to be launched at February’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.� Called the i900, the Windows Mobile 6.1-powered device has an iPhone-like 3.5-inch touchscreen (albeit running at 240 x 400 rather than the Apple cellphone’s 320 x 480), quad-band GSM/UMTS with 7.2Mbps HSDPA, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR.

Measuring 112�x 56 x 12.5mm, Samsung have still managed to fit GPS, an FM radio, TV-out, 5-megapixel camera and a microSDHC slot for cards up to 8GB in size.� The battery is believed to be 1500mAh Li-Ion.� They’ve pre-loaded JAVA MIDP 2.0, an�RSS reader, support for streaming media, MSN Messenger and the rather good Opera 9.0 browser.

It’s not yet certain whether the on-screen image is a mock-up from the F700 or a new UI overlay for WM6, as HTC produced with TouchFLO.
