Samsung W531 on Sprint, Verizon

Those who are frequent globe trotters might find that carrying two or more cellphones to cater for the change in supported networks is a hassle will be pleased to note that Samsung has released the W531 dual-mode handset that works fine in both CDMA and GSM networks, although we have an inkling that only European and Asian frequencies are supported. This function would position the W531 as the older Samsung A790’s successor. The clamshell W531 comes with an internal antenna and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Despite being approved by the FCC, there are no further details concerning its price and availability.
