Samsung launches formidable flip phone W999

Samsung, in partnership with China Telecom, has announced the SCH-W999, successor to the W899, Android Police reports.

The W999 is a formidable flip phone, and comes with two of everything – two 3.5" S-AMOLED displays at 480x800, a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8660 processor, and 2 SIM slots. Besides its powerful processor and dual displays, the W999 offers a 5MP rear shooter, dual-mode connectivity, and penta-band support.

It's worth mentioning that its predecessor's starting price was about $1400, so there's a good chance the Android-powered W999 will be a rather expensive investment.
