Samsung's oddball B3310 officially hitting Europe next month

We're still not convinced that the bizarre numeric column was the right way to approach this, but then again, we guess we can't really complain about Samsung offering a bazillion models in ten thousand different form factors. That's right -- the B3310 QWERTY slider is real according to Samsung France, and it'll be hitting next month as a quadband EDGE-only piece with a QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion, and not a whole heck of a lot else. The dazzling shade of aquamarine is just as wacky as the pink we saw before, so that's not really helping our opinion of it, but really, our apprehension pivots almost entirely on those number keys. We challenge -- nay, dare anyone to get fast on that without turning it sideways.

Is anyone really going to buy this hideous thing?

I got really fast at texting on the Nokia 3650 and we all remember how jacked up that keypad was. So I would wager it is possible to get fast on this also, just takes some practice.

That's, my friend, is impressive.

And texting that quickly before texting was "in." Even more impressive.
