The Mysto is the CDMA version of the Samsung U600 slider sold in Europe with a QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, HTML browser, microSD expansion slot, media player, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, and GPS support.

The Korean-language version is currently available through Helio powered by SKTelecom dealers and online with a limited number of English handsets being offered in Helio flagship stores on December 26th on a first-come first serve basis with interested customers required to ask for the phone.

The phone will sell for $150 with new 2 year agreement and a wider launch of the English version is slated for mid-January.
