The Samsung V820L pivoting flip is a capable 3G phone in its own right, complete with Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel cam, microSD expansion, and a front-facing secondary cam for video calls, but it also adds digital TV reception for Brazil’s nascent ISDB-T spectrum.

It sounds like carriers might subsidize the phone a bit to knock down that stratospheric price 1,499 reais (about $904).
