Samsung just introduced this SGH i718 at the ITU Telecom World expo holding in Hong Kong.

Slashphone mentioned that if you love the idea of having your phone capable of taking care of everything for you besides just making a phone call, you'd love this new phone from Samsung.

-2.0 megapixel camera with auto focus

-a micro SD memory card slot

UnwiredView mentioned that you can take a picture of a business card with the 2.0 megapixel camera, and your cellphone will automagically recognize the information on it and store the contact phone, e-mail and other data in your contact manager. Well, isn't this cool or what?

This Samsung SGH i718 is to be released in China in the beginning of 2007 (Samsung also has plan to release it in the US).

With all these great features (I especially love the neat business card recognition capability), this PDA Smartphone is a great option if you're thinking of replacing your old PDA next year.
