The FCC approved Samsung SGH-i610 – a tri-band (900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM phone supporting UMTS 2100 MHz band, which is the frequency used for 3G in Europe and Asia; for non-3G areas, it supports GPRS and EDGE. The phone resembles the D830 in design but its 2 megapixel camera with auto-focus that is located on the back.

The i610 features a hybrid QWERTY keyboard similar to the SureType keyboard on many RIM handsets, including the T719 from Samsung. It also has a 2 Megapixel auto-focus camera, both of which are Windows Mobile firsts. The i610 features a second camera for video calling, Micro SD card slot, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), an FM Radio, and a 2 line monochrome external display.

In addition to the standard Smartphone suite, the Samsung i610 also includes an RSS reader with a podcast player and Picsel viewer for opening attachments on the phone. Samsung is also launching the i600, a big brother to this phone with a full QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi as well.
