Don’t be fooled: Samsung officially calls this the M4650 Multi-Touch, but get this, it doesn’t support multi-touch. It does support single touches of its 2.8 inch screen, though, which’ll have to do seeing how it lacks either numeric or QWERTY keypads. The Korean company is prepping the Windows Mobile 6-based touchphone for its domestic market, matching a recent trend toward keyless, finger-friendly input that LG, HTC, Apple, and others have adopted in recent months. A customized build of WIndows Mobile isn’t the only trick up the handset’s sleeve, either: haptics give users a little bit of positive feedback when they make contact with the display, and when Office Mobile finally ceases to be entertaining, the terrestrial DMB tuner should come in handy. Ironically, the M4650 will be offered through LG Telecom — of all carriers — for something in the range of 500,000 won (about $550) before rebates.
