FCC approval documents have revealed the existence of the Samsung SCH-i770, an apparent successor to the i760  that will include both CDMA and GSM radios.

While a few CDMA phones include support for the GSM bands used overseas  for the purposes of international roaming, the i770 test report indicates that it fully supports the GSM bands used in North America, leading to extensive speculation about what purpose this could serve.

The FCC report also documents the device as having Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, though no other specifications were listed.
