Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has released its first commercial mobile handset that can switch between cellular and wireless LAN networks, the company said Tuesday.
The SGH-P200 combines GSM with 802.11b/g WiFi and supports voice and data calls, the South Korean cell phone maker said.
It expects users to make calls over WiFi at home or in cafes and switch to the cell phone network where no wireless LAN coverage exists.
The SGH-P200, featuring a 1.3 megapixel camera, camcorder, multimedia messaging system (MMS), MPEG4/H.263 video player, MP3/AAC/AAC+ music player, document viewer, PictBridge printing and file viewer, provides seamless handovers between WiFi networks and mobile communications services, according to Samsung.
The handset measures 95 millimeters by 44mm by 22.5mm and weighs 95 grams.
It is available now in Italy and will be launched in other European countries soon, Samsung said. Pricing information was not available.
