Samsung's Armani phone has a surprise: a haptic feedback UI

All hail, all hail, official pics of the Samsung / Armani mashup: the Armani phone. Here's the haute couturey poop: tri-band 900/1800/1900 GSM, 3 megapixel camera, 2.6-inch 262K color QVGA touchscreen LCD, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, microSD expansion, full Internet browser, and support for H.263, AAC/MP3/WMA audio and MPEG-4 video. Fine and dandy but this little guy also features a haptic feedback user interface like Samsung's SCH-W559 handset loosed long ago in China -- "users can feel an immediate mild vibration when they touch icons on the display." How you like them Apples, Apple? The Prada-esque slab currently measures in at 87.5 x 54.5 x 10.5-mm and 85-grams; less after it starts making regular, post-meal trips to the toilet following its November European release.

that's a beautiful phone! it looks better than the viewty, but because it has less features and will probably cost more, i'll end up buying the viewty...

that reminds me of the viewty... probably the single worst named device in the history of mankind.

Word has it that the viewty will be free in europe but the unlocked version will probably be around $499...that wouldn't be cheap to me but I want one also.
