Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
Sean, you hit it straight on the head here. This handset is a perfect example of Samsung: wholly unoriginal. As mentioned, the key pad looks like an (ugly) adaptation of Sony Ericsson's--and I am not just talking about the numerical part, the parts around the talk and end keys look like that of the w810i; the trackball, from the newer BlackBerries.

But hey, let's look at the bright side.
(Note: The following ONLY applies if it has domestic UMTS/HSPDA lovin'--if not, no love here.) Aside from the design of the phone, the phone is offering some goodies. I mean GPS at a button's press is pretty cool along with the rest of the innards--especially the 3.2 MP shooter.
They do say copying is the sincerest form of flattery....although the American legal system might not agree.
