Samsung's Clamshell has SOS Feature with Deafening Alarm Posted: 30 Mar 2009 02:54 AM PDT It seems that Samsung has made its mind to protect children and women from anti-social elements. After launching the Samsung Tobi for 8 year olds in Taiwan, the company has launched Anycall SPH-W7100 in the Korean market. Like the Tobi, Anycall SPH-W7100 has a 100dB deafening alarm that can be activated when the user is in trouble. Pretty cool huh!! Keep reading, if somebody forcibly shuts down the alarm, then the phone will immediately send the mobile users location using the in-built GPS. If you loose the phone is dark then the phone's bright LED lights will help you find it. With crime rate against women and small children increasing, mobile phones like these will be of great help and help Samsung in creating a niche for itself. [Via]
