Samsung i8510 INNOV8 review: Roaring V8 engine

09 December 2008
Samsung INNOV8 is back to our shop and quite ready to strut its stuff again. Not so long ago we saw it in heavy duty cameraphone action, it's now time to explore the whole package. And there's...

It's huge and expansive. I would rather buy a mini laptop for the same money and size.

    yeah, the Nokia 3120 Classic, a S40 low-end model, has 8 pages in its review (http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_3120_classic-review-261.php) ..the reviewer talked about a lot of non-sense things in that review making it soooo long like he's reviewing a top-of-the-line X-series car from BMW..

    now, the most high-tech phone to date, the Samsung Innovate, which the the N95 8Gb & N96, even combined, cannot reach its software/hardware capabilities, only managed a 6-page review...

    that says it all...Nokia must be a stockholder of this otherwise wonderful site..

        What's a better phone, i can't decide between the two.

        Innov8, or KC910?

                        Hence proved that INNOV8 is the best Camera+Music Combination ... right?

                        I am satisfied with the review, but it appears the it won't have much Bass ... Too bad!

                        due to that low pass filter I think ...

                                    reviews are around average 7-9 pages, 'The most feature-loaded S60 handset to date' only managed 6 pages.... oh wait thats right the bias-ness is reserved for Nokia reviews where every other sentence is "so Zooming is Bloody slow" and "let us mention again how much we hate the look" and "did we mention Zooming is bloody slow"

                                    Overall this was a pretty general review, got a slick Tag Line "V8 Roaring engine" it just felt like this was going to be one hell of a ride but it was more of a sit-back an enjoy the ride. The 8MP Camera shootout deserves credit as that was great stuff but it wanted to know alittle more about the difference between a N96 and Inov8 in the Software part like different gallery an all... you just touched upon it but just a sentence at the end about Share OVI, N-gaga and Maps...those are pretty cool tweaks and its the main reason i'm not jumping over to Samsung's S60 espically Nokia Maps..and also wanted to know more about that cool 3D slideshow tree thing in one of the Offical Images you just gave a brief description but a little video would have been cool too espically to see it interact with the Optical Pad.

                                      i thought the display was half touchscreen or something because i've seen people pressing the screen and it working?
