I have a hunch that this BL40 is a brand new "Black Label" series (hence the whole 4th generation thing in the promo video), which means it may or may not even hit the States. However I look at the BL42 (the slider with touch sensitive controls), and just think that it makes so much more sense to being the Chocolate 4, as the Chocolate family has never been really anything outstanding feature-wise besides being a music-oriented phone. I hope I'm wrong though, I have much more interest in the BL40
It specifically said in the video that it was part of the black label series. The BL means black label. You're right though it probably will never make it in its current form to the US.
The assumption that VZW is automatically going to get it when they've only gotten one of the three black label "inspired" phones isn't a sure thing in my book.
“One wonderful Samsung addition to the traditional Android experience is a "real" camera button on the side, which can even register half-presses for focus.”
