the "i8520" is based on bada, not android. just take a look in samsung's press release.]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/
That can't be it. That has 10 home screens

I don't think their Android phone will have 10 home screens. Or any other Android phone for that matter]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/
yeah, bada is a completely new OS, and not jost a UI like TouchWiz! that's a difference.]]>Feb 14th 2010 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/
I have to admit, I have not laughed as much in a while at a comment. Engadget said, this is the "i8520 Phone". I think the designers removed the numbers "8520" and based their design on what was left.]]>Feb 14th 2010 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/
It is never a good idea to remind your customers of the competition. It reminds me of the Chinese phones knocking off every one. Google is moving in a new direction with Android. But Samsung is giving us a double take on Android. Samsung, because you can does not mean that you should!]]>Feb 14th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/Feb 14th 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/I know that but with a ui change I'd hope the'd improve the ui, not turn it into a garish iPhone clone.
HTC sense ui is a thing of beauty and Android 2.1 is great but this?

Doesnt that mean it probably could have a Projector in it seeing as though is has a 'speacialised projector UI'?

there is another picture on the internet which agrees with that.
don't know, why engadget didn't mention that.]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/

Hmm, that site says it's BADA based not Android. Engadget got it wrong?]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/Feb 14th 2010 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/
yeah, i think so. cause in the press release, samsung also says, that there's bada - so it will be the second device with bada.

interesting: what is "samsung kies" and "hybrid widgets"?]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/
Yea, it wouldn't make sense for them to be pushing a brand new OS of their own... then go ahead and trump it with a much better device running Android + projector etc.... It seems like it is Bada powered indeed.

Samsung Kies is their app store.[samsungapps.com]

Hybrid Widgets is probably regular widgets tied with apps.]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/14/samsung-i8520-halo-with-3-7-inch-super-amoled/

Hopefully this will be pushing the competition a bit harder.
I mean, front facing camera, 8 MP AF camera with flash, AMOLED, DLNA, DivX/XviD...

Btw, is that a DLP projector built in there? HOLY JEBUS!]]>Feb 14th 2010 3:33PM
