I wonder why Samsung skipped the WiFi capability. That’s gonna turn off *a lot* of people. It’s a bit on the slim side though, at 12.7mm.Â
This model is somewhat similar to the LG Secret. Price and availability is TBA.
My prediction of the price is between 22k to 30k,
No Wifi……. too bad….

everything but the wifi
no wifi= crap
I think their Omnia is better. :D
Yep, it’s really disappointing and puzzling, they didn’t put in Wi-Fi capability on such a phone. What were they thinking?!

Id rather go to Omnia than this one.
Yup! Omnia is much much better
not very impressive~ :-)
[...] at least LG had this one with WiFi in it (unlike the Samsung S8300). At just under 12mm thin, looks very promising [...]
awesome….. I like that
With regards to the keypads, its a lot better than Samsung Omnia, Omnia has a hard capacitive.. But you guys are right, what’s the use of this kind of touch phone if it doesn’t have a Wi-Fi connectivity…
my god, it’s totally a waste for wifi owners
