A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Not saying that every mobile phone released has to bring something new to the table, but why is this article written as if it's big news? The only thing it has that most other phones don't have is the screen, which is hardly impressive.
Because non-Nokia S60 phones are pretty rare?
Typical ignorance about S60. Every S60 phone announcement is important.
It's a pretty decent phone
"The only thing it has that most other phones don't have is the screen"
What about the 50mb of internal memory? Not many other phones have that.
1. Samsung has made several S60 phones before.
2. To say every S60 phone is important shows YOUR ignorance.
3. I didn't say it wasn't decent.
4. My Sony Ericsson C902 has 160MB. My 4 year old K700i with it's VGA camera has 40MB. 50MB is pretty crap.
SR was kidding about the S60 phone thing. It was funny.
Too bad this phone doesn't also pack a facetious button. That would surely tip the scales for you to need one in your pocket.
As for me, I think it's exciting to see a non-Nokia S60. Their designs are getting plain & if S60 + good camera's out in a candybar I'll definately short list it.
Oooh , so it has a 2.6-inch AMOLED screen, perhaps nexty time they should make it bigger, lets say 3.5"...
and make it touch... keypads are sooo 1990's
Who wants to watch anything on a 2.6"?
Keypads are so 1990's? It's 2008 and a majority of phones still have keypads dude.
Samsung has already marketed a touch screen phone with a 3" screen, it's called Omnia (i900) and It's got MMS capability a real (5mpx) camera/videocam, a replaceable battery, a good GPS, copy&paste, and all other important things that Apple was unable to produce.
It will come to my frigid country within 3 weeks and it will be into my pocket few minutes later.
iEye, I think it's Apple who should have maybe broader product lineup that you can actually CHOOSE from.
It's not like Samsung only has this phone and telling the customers it's the only choice.
And what's wrong with buttons? I've used touch phones and buttons ftw.
*sigh*
I for, one, dislike full touch screen anything. If the screen breaks on a non-touch screen device, it's still somewhat usable.
This phone's shape and form makes it look like Sony Ericsson and love child.
SE and what?
Sony AND Ericsson.
Imagine if sony made a phone together with ericsson, that'd be hot... oh wait
Sony Ericsson's Love child, notice the typo?
does anyone knows the life time of a AMOLED screen? as far as i know its below 1000 hours ,
that means phone will be out of use in a year if display was on for 3 hours a day (highly unlikely thou)
"TMDisplay developed a 2.2-inch OLED panel QVGA (240×320) with a lifetime of 60,000 hours and power consumption of 100 mW."

I guess lifetime is not an issue any more.

With FM radio transmitter/receiver I could stream an MP3 from one i770c to another i770 over FM waves :)
An S60 candybar uh?
Get lost!
Exactly what I'm looking for. Funny buttons though.
in Mother Russia love child has you
Looks nice, but it would better with an edit button and home key; I guess I'm just used to Nokia S60 devices.
give us physical buttons instead of those terrible strip plastic keys, and you might have a winner.
