The Samsung SGH-i770 appears to be both a follow up and global version of the current i760. The i770 will offer dual-band 850/1900 GSM and dual-band 850/1900 CDMA radios in addition to having both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The i770 is also expected to offer HSDPA support, however no proof of that was found, we do know there will be EV-DO support.
