FCC approves Samsung SGH-i858
Samsung’s SGH-i858 PDA/phone hybrid has received FCC approval. Styled after the i730, the i858 comes bundled with GSM/GPRS support, a QVGA 18-bit color screen, Bluetooth connectivity, a microSD card slot, and stereo speakers among others. The slide out keypad is not a QWERTY keyboard, thus the inclusion of a stylus that is more inclined toward PDA functionality. Phone Arena via Dave's PDA
