Samsung have announced the launch of the new Samsung SCH-V850 mobile phone. Being a Samsung phone, the SCH-V850 obviously has to have a few tricks up its sleeve. It’s not the 262k colour 2" QVGA TFT display. Or the rather lowly 1.3 megapixel camera. Not even the MP3 playback, video recording and playback, EVDO data transfer, or IrDA connectivity. Nope, what really sets the Samsung SCH-V850 apart is its A-GPS navigation, real-time traffic information, and emergency assistance. What else would you need on a mobile phone?!

Destined for Korea only, unfortunately, the Samsung SCH-V850 measures 92 × 46 ×22.5mm and is expected to be available through SK Telecom for around ?500,000 KRW (~ $512 USD).
