Samsung took the next step in enhancing the multimedia side of their phones and decided to intergrate 5.1 channel audio on upcoming FX series, the Samsung SPH-M4500 and Samsung SCH-M450. And relax, this doesn't mean the phones will have 5 speakers and a subwoofer attached, the tecnology just mixes the channels down to a stereo virtual surround effect for your listening pleasure.

That sounds very interesting you have to admit. Plus DMB tuner music player, which can draw off internal memory or microSD expansion, WiFi, front-facing VGA and rear 2-megapixel cams make a very interesting offer. No word though on worldwide release.
