Samsung's tiny X830 now shipping

It's not every day that a global release from Samsung gets as many oohs and aahs as one of their domestic pieces, but the SGH-X830 is a notable exception. The curious lil' spinner gets by with just two columns on its keypad (a rather low number, we reckon), brazenly sacrificing usability for fashion and the cool factor. Then again, for a phone of this shape and size, we could be going completely keypadless -- so we'll stop our bellyaching right here. Look for the "Flick & Swing" X830 to drop in a rainbow of six colors when it shows up in your friendly local importer's inventory.

Looks sort of like a Sirius Stiletto, Dosnt it?

A Stiletto? Samsung would never copy it's cell phone designs, never! They have too much invested in "research and development" to do that...

Plus, this phone's been out for longer (just not in the States) so if anything, the Stiletto's copying it.

My friend is thinking of getting that phone. I think it's cool because it's small and has 1 GB inbuilt memory.
