The built in GPS receiver listen to 20 chanels and passes his information to the pre-installed MioMap 2008 software. This software also has a special pedestrians mode. Furthermore the K1 has a built in 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth functionality.

But there is more; what do think of a 400 MHz Samsung processor, 2 GB internal memory, A-GPS and a battery with 5 hours of talktime.

Price and availability are not yet known.
