The SWD-M100 Mondi [product page] is the WiMax device that was spotted at MWC in Feb. There in Barcelona it was seen running Windows Mobile 6.1 which didn’t really get too many people excited. It looks like we might find out more soon though. Phone Scoop have found a new image on a Samsung RSS feed.
The device is potentially very interesting. If it uses a fast, Cortex-core processor, Windows Mobile 6.5 and the new Opera Mobile 9.7 browser then it will meet a lot of wish-lists, spot-on. Until we get further info though, we’re still left with the same specs as we had before:
- 4.3 inch touchscreen
- Wimax, Wifi and Bluetooth
- Dual cams ( 3M + 0.3M pixels )
- Micro SD
- TV out
- Windows Mobile 6.1 with Opera web browser
Fingers crossed that it comes in HSDPA flavour.
Update: Samsung Mondi is now in the database with links, videos and specifications.

With enough manufacturers introducing sliders, one of them should happen to come across a combination of hardware with a big enough battery. Here’s hoping this one has good battery life.

As it is WiMAX I expect it to be for release in Korea only initially.
I would prefer 5 lines on the keyboard. Other units at this size can.
As for battery, if they replicate the NC10 life I would be happy.

ANON, i completely agree. I’ve been drooling over horizontal sliders ever since the nokia N700, but i just can’t see spending the money until certain minimum requirements are met, and as much as i dislike Windows Mobile, if they can just squeeze decent battery life out of it and instant on, then i just might have to drop the cash (if we get it here)
