I’m unsure if this one is better than the wider screen and touch Samsung Omnia but I guess there’s room for one more. I reckon that the Samsung i8510 is positioned against the Nokia N95 while the Omnia is targetted as an iPhone alternative.

I would love to get my hands on this… Though I might prefer the Omnia still. Windows Mobile > Symbian. :-)… Though prefer Linux for desktop/laptop computing over Windows XP/Vista.

Looks cool – only small complaint is that it is using an LED flash – seems crazy to provide such a good camera without a zenon flash. i reckon with symbian s60/3 it will run Uzzap very well though :)

this phone is quite tempting. however, quite expensive too… 1170USD—> ~P50k+! that’s worth a laptop already. is that for real? if only the price is not that high i’ll buy this phone. but i’m willing to wait for this phone.
