New Samsung i8510 INNOV8 eats N96 for breakfast

 

Yes, you didn't read it wrong, Samsung has recently unleashed it's fury on the mobile world. About the hottest thing you can find on the web right now, the new Samsung i850 might just give Nokia a run for it's money.

Samsung have just announced their heavily rumoured S60 super-phone, the i8510. The Samsung i8510 features an 8MP camera with lens cover, 7.2mbps HSDPA, 16GB internal memory aswell as a microSD slot, a 2.8" QVGA screen and even has an optical touchpad for easy navigation. Needless to say, this baby totally kills the N96 and if what I'm hearing is correct, it may even be out in the UK before Nokia's supposed "successor" to the N95....

This phone is far from what you'd expect from Samsung. Packed with features, relatively unattractive design, bulky hull, why this doesn't seem very Samsung-ish at all does it. Samsung's fashion conscious fans will definately shy away from this one, but perhaps Nokians will start considering this Samsung alternative?
