... Also forgot the good looks of the Jet phone :)
So,
Max(Beam + Omnia HD + Jet) = Is the phone I'll definitely buy.

It just baffles me why Samsung is not willing to make a product that is superior to its predecessors.
A simple comparison shows a feature is present in one but lack in other.
I am a Jet phone owner, but unless Samsung produces a phone with max-ed combined features of Beam and Omnia HD, I won't consider buying (wasting more more on) any other Samsung phone.

Do they have a similar phone coming soon ?
I just want a Beam without the projector, it is too big for me. All other spec is working perfect .... except this annoying projector. Projector seems cools, but u seldom use it, but the bulky size will be a headache all the time.

Oh! Forgot to mention...the projector image is about 7 inches...& I think the clarity will be decent in complete darkness (I tested it in a brightly lit room).

My bro works for Samsung, korea...I Just got around to one of Beam's pre release unit in his office. Well, the one I got was running on android 1.5...my bro said that there's a lot of hardware tweaking yet to be done..the device was quite slow for that cause. But I liked the screen a lot. I transfered a D1 video from my i8910 via bluetooth & it was nice but bit disappointing 'cause of the noticable 65K color limitation of android 1.5...(The final version will have android 2 eclairs)...mind you the difference between my i8910's AMOLED and Beam's Super AMOLED is nothing big...the image is just a little bit more vibrant and bright...most noticable distinction however is just the screen resolution. The HD video recordings of beam is quite smooth but quite dark which I think is a contrast issue of the prototype. The projector is da real game here. The D1 video I played with it looked decent in da white wall but bright lights in da office ruined the pleasure. The stereo speakers sounded quite loud & clear but my Omnia HD is still louder. Unfortunately I couldn't check the gallary for which samsung is still developing a special treat. Overall the phone seemed quite promising to me once the developement gets done. If u guys wanna knw more about BEAM let me know. I'll try to get it out from my bro.

Hi all,
I currently have a Nokia E72 which I purchased in January 2010. It is a tremendous phone. This beauty is something else though. Unless Apple, Nokia, Sony Ericsson or HTC do something spectacular - meaning launch a jaw breaking device, this will be my next phone. I will purchase this on November 1st. It will give me time to save up as it will be expensive. I will buy SIM FREE and NOT under contract. I do advise others to start saving too. By November, other brands would have released their new handsets but this for me is the favourite. I am also curious about having Android as I have used the Symbian OS for so long. The Beam is a bit thick but I used to own a Nokia 5800 which was just as thick. It is looks decent - a natural beauty more than a supermodel stunner. As for features, outstanding. The processor at 800mhz is decent. The battery seems decent too. I will never get a phone with a poor battery hence me avoiding the Nokia N900.

Though beam doesn't have wired T.V. out, it supports DLNA through which you can connect to supported T.Vs and Music systems which have DLNA via WiFi or Bluetooth.
for T.V. out you just need high end T.V. set like L.G. Scarleet etc.
