The report said Samsung will deliver the phone, trademarked SGH-P900, to debitel AG, which claims to have 10 million subscribers. The German firm will launch the first full commercial TDMB service in Europe in May, in time for the German World Cup soccer tournament slated for June.

Samsung’s SGH-P900 handset was showcased during last month’s 3GSM World Congress in Spain as the first T-DMB phone for commercial services that complies with the European wideband-CDMA standard.

The fledgling DMB allows customers to view digital television broadcasts on mobile phones, laptop computers and other handheld devices. South Korea was the first country to launch commercial DMB service last year.

Samsung’s arch-rival LG Electronics has said it will supply its own commercial T-DMB phone model to Germany in May.

In an unrelated story, Samsung Electronics has successfully demonstrated mobile WiMax service in Egypt, according to a report.

The report said the demonstration held last week as part of Samsung’s road show for the Korean version of WiMax, known as WiBro, and terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB), another Korean-developed technology for mobile TV broadcasting systems, in the country.

In particular, a showcase session for its PDA-type WiBro handset, named M8000, attracted much attention from visitors, Samsung said. Egypt plans a field trial of the WiBro service in some Egyptian cities next year, Samsung added.

Last month, the company demonstrated a similar service in South Africa.

Samsung has also agreed to back commercial launches of the mobile Internet service in the U.S., Japan, Italy, Croatia, Venezuela and Brazil. South Korea is scheduled to begin its own commercial WiBro service in June.
