Dieter got his hands on the WiMAX-enabled Samsung Mondi back at CTIA in April and was less than impressed. Samsung decided to release the device anyway, and it comes alongside the launch of WiMAX service in Las Vegas.

Sammy says the 4G Mondi will be available in Atlanta, Las Vegas and Portland, Ore. — three of the initial WiMAX launch cities — starting Aug. 1 for an undisclosed sum.

The Mondi's specs that we know of, if you're still interested:

  • Windows Mobile 6.1.
  • 4.3-inch, 800x480 touchscreen.
  • Dimensions: 4.88 x 3.03 x 0.63 inches.
  • WiMAX 4G speeds.
  • WiFi b/g.
  • 3MP autofocus camera with face recognition and panaramic shots.
  • Slide-down keyboard.
  • 4GB internal memory.
  • 256MB RAM
