Windows Phone trivia: Samsung Focus S was originally called Haden?
Way dorsum in September we reported on three new Windows Phones -- the HTC Ultimate, the HTC Radar and the Samsung Haden -- all appearing in the logs of the app "I'grand a WP7!".
As it turns out, information technology was very accurate. The HTC Ultimate became the Titan (but for Brazil), the Radar of grade is very well known today being on T-Mobile and in international markets but that Samsung Haden never really came forth.
For awhile, we idea maybe this was that rumored Samsung LTE device or perhaps something for Dart. Merely every bit it turns out the 4G LTE Samsung phone is really the "Mandel" (which we're starting to recollect has been nixed from AT&T'southward lineup) and of course there'south nothing from Sprint (or Verizon and T-Mobile.).
Site reader Bailey S. recently had some problems with his Samsung Focus South then he sent information technology to Samsung for repairs. Obviously there was something wrong with the motherboard so Sammy replaced it and sent the phone dorsum to Bailey. Case airtight.
But upon booting upwardly the device for the 1st fourth dimension, he was greeted with the traditional welcome screen for Windows Telephone but instead of SGH-i937 or Focus Southward information technology said "Welcome to your SAMSUNG Haden". Even more curious, it says as much in the Nigh screen of the device likewise.
So what are we to make of this? The AT&T "lawmaking name" for the Focus South was "Kupua" but we're starting to think Samsung'southward internal device proper name was, you guessed, "Haden". At least that's our hunch. Simply why does his phone say "Haden"? We actually have no thought, though if anyone wants to add anything in comments, nosotros're all ears.
Another interesting side annotation is this phone is completely unbranded with no AT&T software on board. That lends acceptance to the idea that "Haden" was in case Samsung released this phone internationally (something which never happened) or that "Haden" was for internal testing.
But some weekend trivia to chew on if you happen to track device names that pop up every once in awhile. Thanks, Bailey, for the email and photos!
