We really didn't have any reason to doubt Expansys to begin with, but when it comes to unannounced smartphones from Samsung, we'll take just as much rumor confirmation as we can get -- and now, that confirmation is coming from Holland's Phone House, which has posted an all-too-brief product page for the so-called B7610 Louvre. At this point, we're expecting a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard that tilts (a la Touch Pro2), a 3.2 megapixel cam, and TouchWiz (naturally) running atop Windows Mobile 6.1 (upgradeable to 6.5, we'd presume). Unfortunately, all Phone House has for imagery is a tiny, blurry image of what appears to be the F700 / Glyde with WinMo grafted onto the display; for Samsung's sake, we're hoping the launched product is just a little more 2009 than that.[Via the::unwired]
while that does look like the glyde, i don't think it is. on the glyde the "home" button is a boring matte button of the same color as the phone, not silver. also, i think i see a forward facing camera in the top left there, which the piece of shit glyde doesn't have. the form factor looks identical, obviously.
well, anything to help me get rid of this godforsaken phone. the glyde is so bad its literally ruining my life!
damn. nevermind. that phone does appear to be the F700. i hadn't seen that before. apologies.
:(
No touchWIZ?
This can't come from Samsung.
it says it will have touchwiz.
will it use a sim card???
