Samsung's WinMo 6.5-powered Armani smartphone gets previewed

Got a cool grand to drop on a Windows Phone? Oh, yeah? Then have a gander at Samsung's latest fashion piece, the Armani-branded M7500. The cool cats over at PhoneArena managed to get their paws around a unit, and as predicted, they didn't hesitate to bust out the camera and give us all a good look. They also took the chance to give us a brief overview of how the handset handled, calling it "bulky even for a WinMo smartphone," though praising the high-res display and well-spaced keyboard. Feel free to hit the read link if you're interested in more, but don't be shocked to hear more than a little criticism.

Good looking phone, I always liked the copper and black of my HTC Shadow. I would totally get one for 99 after 1 yr contract. (two years is so freaking long!)

I am so curious if windows will be able to be upgraded to 7 when the time comes. That's going to suck for both of those people to shell out a grand for a phone that will be outdated in 6 months.

Looking at WM7's track record, I doubt it will be released in 6 months.
