As if to confirm that this really is the year of the music phone, Samsung jumps on the bandwagon, announcing its own Nokia-rivalling 3GB hard-disked mobile phone. Not quite as good as the Nokia N91, though - 1 GB less storage, only 1.3 megapixel camera against the N91's 2Megapixel. Also, no Wi-Fi capability, so it doesn't offer as much potential for MobSharing as the N91. It's based on Microsoft's Mobile OS, so should have a nice variety of apps to play with (ToDo lists, email syncing, etc.), and Samsung are promoting it as a usedful tool for transferring files between PCs, which, with 3GB to play with, is a fair point. It's debuting in the UK this October on O2, and will probably be about £80 with contract. Full spec is as follows:
