Samsung M100S to bring Android 2.1, 3.7″ WVGA AMOLED display, and WiFi 802.11n to the lucky inhabitants of South Korea.

As far as device names go, the Samsung M100S is not thing special. It doesn’t hint at anything mischievous or powerful lurking under the hood. It’s a conservative and boring name frankly. But just as you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, a smartphone shouldn’t be judged solely by it’s name. The Samsung M100S is actually quite the looker.

Dropping on SK Telecom in Marc, the M100S will feature an as of now, unnamed 800MHz processor, 3.7″ WVGA AMOLED display, 802.11n WiFi/GPS/T-DMB mobile TV, and a 5 megapixel camera that supports 720p video recording. Moving away from the hardware, the M100S will be South Korea’s first Android 2.1 device. On top of the good ‘ol ‘droid, Samsung’s own TouchWiz interface gets slapped on. Finally, this little shinning plastic beauty will have access to both the Android Market and SK Telecom’s own “T-Store” for mobile applications.

Even though we won’t see this device anywhere near US shores, it’s still cool none the less. And because I’ll never be able to have it, I just want it that much more. Pricing for those fortunate enough is unavailable for now.

Anyone thinking of a cross continental journey…?
