Samsung i780 officially announced by Samsung
October 31, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
Maybe time is ripe for HTC to realize that people like this form factor: QWERTY keyboard for single-handed usage combined with touch-screen? HTC after all is refusing to make such phones... so it is great news to see that now, after TechFaith Wireless (Ubiquio and i-mate branding), Palm and HP, now also Samsung selects this form factor!
This fantastic smartphone with touch-screen of enhanced resolution (320x320), built-in GPS and optical sensor is now official! Still there is no information about this phone at Samsung websites, but Samsung has unveiled it in a launch event for selected press in London. It should go on sale at the beginning of year 2008.
