Attention Europe: The SGH-i780 is Coming
Posted by Jon Westfall in "HARDWARE" @ 09:38 AM
"In a meeting with Samsung Europe, the Korean mobile phone manufacture confirmed that the anticipated Samsung SGH-i780 Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone got its European launch this week.
While carriers like Orange UK and Telefónica Movistar are confirmed to carry Samsung's latest smartphone, other carriers will follow but Samsung didn't disclosed which carriers these are. Nevertheless, Samsung also confirmed that shipments to the open market has also started which means you should be able to get a localized i780 from carrier independent mobile phone shops in your country soon as well."
The i780 is certainly an interesting looking device, from the Smartphone-esque look (a la no-touchscreen days of Smartphone) to it's optical joystick (however (well) that works)). Anyone lining up to grab one of these (for around 490 - 600 Euro?)
