If you are in the market for a new CDMA phone, Samsung has an option open for you. The new SPH-W4950 packs a lot in its slider form factor with support for CDMA2000 1x EV-DO Rev.A. Although it can’t be called a media powerhouse, the W4950 has covered the bases with an mp3/video player and a 1.3-megapixel camera with a secondary VGA for video calling. In addition to the 40MB of internal memory, the W4950 has a microSD/TransFlash memory slot to store your favorite numbers or the pics of your loved ones. The phone can remain on standby for up to 165 hours and provide up to 4.5 hours of talktime.

There is no word on availability or pricing yet, but I don’t think we will have to wait too long before we hear more.
