How is the Armani logo using valuable screen real estate? It seems to me it's using plastic real estate.

They've gotta put the electronics somewhere, it's not all magic screen.]]>Sep 25th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/
but that's not the point.

the whole point of it being giorgio armani is that it has giorgio armani in big letters. like those god awful d&g frames. but that's fashion. for the buyer it's a bonus that it reads it in biiiiiiiiiiiiiig letters.


what i'd be more intrested is how sophisticated the haptic feedback is, like, if you press a button do you get a normal vibr or a solid "knock".]]>Sep 26th 2007 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/Sep 25th 2007 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/

You must known that almost all people will buy a phone cause the color/status/fancy ringtone rather the features. Just a bunch of "gadgeters" (we) are worried about the specifications.

And no, this don't look gay at all, "gay" (or girly) phone are most a pinky + hello kitty + rounded with shinny and fluffy things.

Come on guys... Almost all of the designs out their look like that. Maybe if somebody made a dual screen clamshell phone, or a completely different design away from the clamshell/candybar designs. Until then... Most of the phones hitting the market are going to look just like that! And then this is where Armani come into play, designing something *cosmetically* different!

You are joking, right? Answering the phone with a quick swipe of your finger or thumb or pressing a giant green "ANSWER" button doesn't seem to be any harder to do, and has the benefit of not having to waste space with a physical button that only does one freaking thing. I suppose you think there should be an extra key on your computer keyboard labeled "ANY" just for times when Windows asks you to hit the Any key to continue?]]>Sep 25th 2007 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/Sep 25th 2007 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/Sep 26th 2007 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/

and by that, i'm referring to the calendar. I hope it's a photochop, or else that calendar has serious issues.

1) London is behind Seoul in time, so it can't be Saturday in London when it's Friday in Seoul
2) Sep 16 can't be both a Friday and a Saturday
3) On the calendar to the right, Friday Sep 30 jumps to Monday Sep 31...wth? haha]]>Sep 25th 2007 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/Sep 25th 2007 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/Sep 25th 2007 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/25/samsungs-armani-phone-has-a-surprise-a-haptic-feedback-ui/

This is not a knock off of the iphone, having a phone that is completely touch and just one big ass screen pushes companies to design better looking software for there phones because in the end that’s the thing that will stand out the most.

Over all it doesn’t look like that bad a phone.
