Samsung Sets to Release World’s First Phone Mobile with Bluetooth 3.0
According to Engadget.com, Samsung will launch Samsung GT-S8500 in coming weeks. What is so special about the GT-S8500 is it is probably the world’s first mobile phone that has Bluetooth 3.0, a new Bluetooth standard that supports data transfer speeds of up to 24 Mbit/s. Bluetooth 3.0 allows multiple files transfer at the same time, a nice feature that makes file transfer between PC and phone or phone and phone a lot easier and faster. With a phone that has Bluetooth 3.0, users could send music or video from PC to the phone over the air. We expect that the Samsung GT-S8500 will appear at Mobile World Congress, which will be held from Feb 15 to 18.
