Samsung i7110c breaks cover: business in the front, party in the back

No, no -- Sammy wouldn't dare dub this the Mullet, although we have a sneaking suspicion it would sell quite well here in the south if such a bold decision were made. Nevertheless, the i7110c (that's more like it, no?) has just been revealed, and while a great deal of mystery still surrounds it, we are told that it will likely boast a QVGA display, a navigational cube that acts as a cursor controller, 5-megapixel camera (with flash), microSD expansion slot, multimedia player, Bluetooth and an FM tuner. We must say, we're strangely attracted to the harmonious mix of business-like design cues and consumer-friendly attributes, though it would be nice if Samsung came on out and made this thing official.

Actually, it looks pretty good for a candy bar.

What the hell you mean! This phone looks awesome. I just hope the front and back cover is steel plated =D.

[alex @ Aug 5th 2008 12:56PM]

Actually has a lot of the same features which made me love my N73 - discreet looks, but powerful features.

[dagwud @ Aug 5th 2008 1:25PM]

A QWERTY keyboard does not a business device make. Centros have them, and I know a number of business people who hate 'em.

[Sergio @ Aug 5th 2008 1:59PM]

Get a Diamond, nothing is as discreet and Powerful as Diamond the true sheep in wolf clothes.

[John Doe @ Aug 5th 2008 2:32PM]

it surely looks like one of those nokia's n-series phones

[TareX @ Aug 5th 2008 3:54PM]

@ Sergio

Well to tell you the truth, based on looks alone I'd prefer this phone over the Diamond. I don't know the Diamond seems a bit too delicate to my taste. It feels like a rich woman's phone to me.

I never though I have it in me to actually admire a candybar phone.

It looks like a Nokia 6300 Copy !

With same design of the Function & Direction pad , also it have the same Metallic Look like Nokia 6300

[quag @ Aug 5th 2008 1:06PM]

So, what exactly is it about this phone that makes it "business in the front"?

There is no qwerty keyboard, no mention of Exchange, Salesforce.com, VPN, or any of the other "business only" features found on other phones.

And what do you mean by "business-like design cues"? Do you mean the lack of garish colors and ass-tasstic plastic crap?

[L @ Aug 5th 2008 1:14PM]

Erm...it runs S60? And thus, supports Exchange and lots of other stuff...

And that "ass-tastic plastic crap" looks very much like metal to me, so I don't quite get your point.

[naz @ Aug 5th 2008 1:30PM]

it's a figure of speech

[quag @ Aug 5th 2008 3:23PM]

Please read more closely:

"Do you mean the LACK of garish colors and ass-tasstic plastic crap?"

[Jan @ Aug 5th 2008 1:08PM]

Just say no to korean products

[quag @ Aug 5th 2008 1:11PM]

What the hell for?

[gnome @ Sep 16th 2008 3:15PM]

just say no to crack

[MrMac @ Aug 5th 2008 1:27PM]

I "Love" my Yellow Teeth.


Were the quotations really necessary in the ad....?

[Ladderless @ Aug 5th 2008 1:31PM]

Liquer in the front, Poker in the rear...

To each his own.

[Down @ Aug 5th 2008 1:31PM]

That phone looks too much like a Sony Ericsson.

[Conda @ Aug 5th 2008 3:53PM]

thats what I was thinking too

[chickenator @ Aug 5th 2008 11:16PM]

me too.

[Nastro @ Aug 5th 2008 1:36PM]

Sexy, efficient and sleek, I love it.

[ridahgadgetguy @ Aug 5th 2008 1:40PM]

looks like a pimped out Nokia 6300

[Kobutah @ Aug 5th 2008 3:15PM]

I really couldn't buy this phone after it being described as the mullet of phones.

As we know, the mullet sounded like a great idea, but there is nothing, but regret.

[Danny @ Aug 5th 2008 3:31PM]

It's like my N82 had sex with my K800i!

[TareX @ Aug 5th 2008 3:51PM]

I could honestly say this is the first time I like the looks of a Samsung candybar phone.

It looks beautiful. Especially the "flush" screen, which makes it look big.

Very nice.

[eilegz @ Aug 5th 2008 4:06PM]

looks like nokia phone which its nice

[StevenN @ Aug 5th 2008 6:01PM]

Looks a lot like my Nokia 6301. While my Nokia only has a 2 megapixel camera, it has Wi-Fi calling.

[albi @ Aug 5th 2008 7:18PM]

keep it real fake part amillion

[Ruben @ Aug 5th 2008 9:44PM]

Looks like the same optical navigation area like the Omnia.

The specs seem decent, and im glad Samsung is actually making something high-end in the candy-bar segment, since they have been lacking. But it is very K800i/W890 like.
