The Samsung Mondi can harness upload and download speeds that double comparable devices running on 3G networks while taking advantage of the widespread connectivity of Mobile WiMAX. The Mondi is also equipped with WiFi, allowing users to keep strong wireless connections while working outside designated Mobile WiMAX markets.
Available in a solid black finish, this device slides open horizontally to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The Mondi is packed with multimedia features that offer instant access to E-mail, Internet, video content and business applications. The device also supports various services including Fring, Gypsii, and Windows Live Messenger along with many other downloadable Windows Mobile apps not preloaded on device. The Mondi is equipped for GPS Navigation through Route 66, providing turn-by-turn directions.
The Mondi’s compact design provides the user with a more mobile form factor and ease-of-use than the typical laptop or netbook. While it is small enough to fit into the user’s hand or pocket, the Mondi packs an impressive Web browser, powered by Opera 9.5, which takes full advantage of the device’s 4.3-inch touch screen.
The Best of 4G Awards winners were selected by an independent judging panel that consisted of Berge Ayvazian, senior adviser and principal consultant for Yankee Group; Adlane Fellah, CEO and founder of Maravedis Inc.; Caroline Gabriel, research director for Rethink Research; Phil Marshall, VP, enabling technologies, for Yankee Group; Craig Mathias, principal, Farpoint Group; Andy Mitchell, technical editor for Yankee Group; and Jennifer Pigg, VP, enabling technologies for Yankee Group.
