Samsung i8510 INNOV8 preview: First look

01 August 2008
The new Samsung uber-phone, called Samsung i8510 INNOV8, is finally in our hands. It packs so many goodies that it's hard to decide where to start from. It's not the first 8 megapixel handset but it's the best we've seen so far...

    Again i need to say that in load voice..
    Ngage has .exe installers and the 1st games now which till now not supported by built-in 3d graphics chip(find on N95 and N82 and surprise its not included on N96) has more than 25 mb package which insure great quality in future...Samsung play .sis games (nice but not best).
    Price??...dont think its 1200$ Samsung isnt stupid and history say there price was always acceptable..
    Layout is childish??...apply another theme..S60 can change everything even icons..
    iPhone has better resolution?...but the screen is too larger...and iPhone is eye candy oriented User Interface not a power multimedia device.
    Touch screen???...u have better than that...the D-Pad now work like Laptob...do u use Touch screen in your Laptob??...i dont.

    All Phones nowdays is great..Nokia and Samsung and iPhone but depend on what you need...only SE still make phones with basic OS (.jar operator only) andd there best Camera otiented phones still capture 3gp video...
    Funny about Samsung copy SE by the 8MP..hahahaha...really??
    did Canon copy Sony still image camera's too?

          I'm just wondering if you could install any S60 programs into the phone. G810 could not..

            I am feed up waiting for the N96 so will definetly get this phone on contract an try out for 14 days an see if it lives up to it Full potential,o.k the Sony Ericssons got there 8 mega camera mobile out soon but there phones to me are not very good alately at reliability,i bet Nokias kicking themselves now as the N96 was announced in Febuary an its not out till October so whats gone wrong at Nokia,but Nokia will do its usual Trick people will sign up for the N96 then a month later release there 8 mega-pixel camera mobile an make alot of people Angry

              Come on, a 2.8" screen is good but the resolution is still a puny 240 X 320 ?? A joke.

                Oh Please shut up all SonyEricsson fanboys!
                I'm a swede and had the first walkman w800 ages ago and the latest SE phones are crap including my P1i.

                This phone is going to be my next one, becouse I need a fast smartphone WITH software updates. I'm sick of the SE buggy phones, get that fanboys.

                  It's just a copying Samsung from Sony Ericsson.
                  Sony Ericsson had the 8MP idea, slider, wifi, gps, dlna certification and this? --This is a COPY people.--

                  I doubt this will fail since C905 was targeted for a price just like K850.

                  And do you know this JUST has double power led flash? IT CANNOT DEFEAT c905's xenon!

                      Well seems like Samsung knows how to appreciate nice camera on their phone by adding a lens cover, unlike the arrogant Nokia which has too much self confidence that camera shouldn't have a lens cover..!

I'm tired of browsing and using google maps for exemple without touchscreen. Just a personal opinion, of course. I use browser a lot, love my N95 and all, but scrolling without touchscreen is so boring.

                                        What? $1170 and it doesn't even have a VGA display? Web browsing on the 240x320 display will suck. Even the iPhone has twice the screen resolution at 480x320.
