This Phone looks nearly like the Nokia 6500 Slide.

Not very clever to "cover" other producers ^_^

    i love the idea of simple customisation. its been long overdue. this idea is something that should be explored more i think. but it still comes down to people having to have knowledge of computers to make their phone totally customised....it needs to be simple and this is a good step forward.

      @Steve Jobs
      It isn't real image stabilisation - it's just electronic image stabilisation (which was even on the K800), so it's nothing new.


      Also, I reckon this phone is going to annoy many with its 'touch d-pad'. Either they make the entire phone touchscreen, or just have a 'real' dpad. Imaging playing games!

        First of all, this IS an ULTRA series flagship. The designated model number for the Samsung Soul is U900 (carrying the torch after the previous U700 Ultra). Link: http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?p=668637#post668637

        Did somebody just say 13mm is thick? LOL

        For its camera, I believe this is an upgrade. In the GSMArena cam shootout, the staff forgot to include Samsung G800 there but on the G800 review they had a shootout versus the SE flagship and the Samsung camera was on top (I'm not implying its better than the N82's cam though). If the SOUL's camera is an improvement on the G800 (first to have Image Stabilization), expect this to topple the Nokia 5mp cams.

        I wish the internal memory of this phone would be big. No word yet. I also hope this has a 3.5 earphone jack, Wi-Fi and better battery life than the U700.

        Oh yeah, and the N96 looks FUGLY. Hope thats a fake. The black N82 looks nicer in comparison yk yk yk.

              Pretty good phone. But there is one problem will all samsungs, the battery life is terrible. I can go from a full charge to the battery crying on my d900i by using opera mini for 2-3 hours. My n82 can hold strong pretty much all day.

                i feel a damp patch in my underwear that i swear wasn't there until i saw this phone...
                As a proud owner of a d900 for 1 year and then disappointed by the u600 for another year...
                I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!
                Bang + Olufsen sound! you cant get better! i think sound was one of the things lacking in previous models, so it is nice to see it being addressed.
                I bet it will cost a small fortune
                I'd convert to contract just for this!

                  How can you compare the N95 or N96 to this? This doesn't have wifi or a nice Carl Zeiss camera... every shootout n95 8gb had it won, remember?

                      great phone. not too slim. xtra features and fully sxy designe.... the navigation pad is very tripped out but has great functionality.... not comparable to N95 or N96.... it's still just a Samsung...

                          I do agree! wats up with that N96?? u cant rip me off with that phone. but this one, it totally caught me by surprise ^_^

                          stylish and feature pack! definitely a keeper!
                          However:
                          buying a feature pack phone is costly enough
                          how much more with a stylish design?! tsk tsk tsk

                                  if it's called the Spirit Of ULtra... does that mean they aren't continuing the Ultra Edition Line? i hope they do... my last two phones were the d900 and u600... im waiting for the next generation!

                                      Nokia is over the hill i hate big phones and i dont care if they have a lot of features, for me a phone should fit a pocket in jeans without looking like you got a video tape in your pocket, Samsung makes the best phones here, if you want a good camera then buy a real digital kamera, i buy my phones for looks, size and music, all Sony Ericsson look alike Nokia is slow in the meny.
