This device will be hugely successful if the price is low. It faces a formidable alternative in the form of the 5800 Express Music so it must sell for less.

    samsung is good with looks but fuctions are bad this is very difficult to type a message with touch keypad becoz there is no virtual QWERTY keyboard.

Atleast Samsung was better than those, but this model is a bit more curvy compared to other touchscreen Samsungs. That's another reason why HTC Diamond got my attention. Before they were making those soap-like phone for years and I never looked at them.

        Why the manufacturers -- like Nokia and Samsung -- don't follow the right angles and/or sharp corners of Sony Ericsson Idou, T700, Philips X620? This is something I really don't understand. They are not making toys for children so that the sharp edges and corners must be bypassed.

        Blunt corners always give out a soap-case image -- confess it or not.

                marvin florano, 25 Feb 2009your blindNo, George is not blind... He is right. In the first image you see that the bottom row of touch icons includes keypad, photo contact and menu buttons, while the last pic includes Keypad, phonebook, messaging and menu...

                          Woah! A full touchscreen in a midrange market? I hope this one would run with a good operating system. ;-)

                              I really think that evening was expecting a lot more information coming from barcelona. A little bit disappointed. so far the best it's been the HTC touch2.

                                  How many megapixels the camera? If this has got 3.2 or higher this is better than the Cookie.

                                        I think LG is better then Samsung becoz thre is no QWERTY key board in Samsung mobile i am using samsung F480 and there is no keyboard and shaking control so i think Lg kp500 cookie is better than samsung mid range price mobiles.
