Samsung to bring out the W899, a traditional Android flip phone

                       China Telecom and Samsung have announced the Samsung W899. Instead of the traditional flat design, Sammy is offering a flip Android smartphone.
        Samsung has outed a new dual Super AMOLED clamshell smartphone, the Samsung W899, running Android 2.2 on a 1GHz processor. Initially destined for China, the W899 packs CDMA/EVDO and GSM/UMTS connectivity, WiFi and mobile hotspot functionality, but its most interesting feature is the fact that it has a 3.3-inch touchscreen on both the outside and inside of the flip.
        You're probably thinking "this is just a flip phone, it's probably an entry level Android phone." Well ... not really. Take a look at the specs:
    * Two 3.3-inch AMOLED touch screens
    * Multi-touch support
    * Android 2.2
    * 5MP rear camera
    * Front facing VGA camera
    * 1Ghz processor
    * 512 MB internal memory
       This guy is pretty powerful. Enough for it to compete with some of the higher end devices today. One more picture and video after the break.
