Samsung's gorgeous Symbian-equipped i570?

Symbian fanboys and fangirls digging the i620's QWERTY slider form factor probably want to take a good, hard look at this, a device from Samsung that's rumored to be the SGH-i570 replete with Symbian 9.1 -- S60, we'd imagine, given Samsung's history with the platform. MobilMania reports that the i570 will be equipped with 160MB of memory on board plus microSD expansion, WiFi, HSDPA, and a 2 megapixel primary cam all wrapped up in a 16mm shell. We can hope that this one has any chance of making a US debut, but let's be honest, we'd probably be setting ourselves up for disappointment.

Why do they tease us with phones that have a very small chance of ever being released, and an even smaller chance of being released stateside?!? =(

Samsung doesn't tease. They create a large number of handsets to cater the cellphone wants of all consumers. If this phone isn't specifically coming to the U.S. or being released at all doesn't mean that this design, form factor and other features n won't be used elsewhere. It is about following trends.
