Samsung's i8510 INNOV8 gets official in Europe, shown off on video

We've already gotten word of most of the details of Samsung's i8510 INNOV8 (get it?) smartphone, but things just got a whole lot more official for the device in Europe and, coincidentally, a number of sites recently got to spend some time with the phone in NYC (despite the lack of an official US release). Of course, there's not a whole lot of surprises to be found, but it certainly seems like the phone will get the job done and then some, with its built in camera not only boasting an impressive 8 megapixels, but auto-focus, image stabilization, and a flash as well. The rest of the specs aren't too shabby either. Head on past the break to check out one video of the device courtesy of MobileBurn, and be sure to hit up the Laptop Mag link below for a second, higher-quality look at it.

that thing could have 800 megapixels and it wouldnt matter. i use my phone for texting, and keypads like that are a b---- to t9 on. i prefer individual buttons. something as seemingly minor as that ruins a phone for me. i was all excited about upgrading from an lg cu500v to a Z9 until i tried to type my first text on it. (thats also what keeps me from touchscreen phones).

but thats just me. im sure otherwise it would be a great phone. and save the jokes about my lg and z9. lol. im not laying out any big bucks until i have a chance to try some android phones.
