The SPH-V4400 also includes 64-tone polyphonic ringtones and an embedded MP3 player, contained in a body weighing 98 g and measuring 92 x 44 x 24 mm.

Finally, Samsung have launched another handset dubbed the SCH-V500. It too is a CDMA2000 phone and uses the swivelling TFT display, which is a 2.2-inch widescreen running at QVGA resolution with a 262k colour-depth. The camera in this device is 1.3 MP with flash, and it is capable of 180-degree rotation. This unit also features a 4-colour OLED external display.

The SCH-V500 features 64-tone polyphonic ringtones and MP3 player, as with the V4400, and measures 98.3 x 50 x 26 mm with a slightly heavier 110 g weight.
