A couple of weeks ago I talked with LG about the upcoming Black Label 3 phone (this LG Secret). The LG marketing manager said that the LG Secret would be available (in the Netherlands) within weeks after its introduction (today). This is probably the same for the rest of Europe.

We already have three shops with pre-order prices on our site:

So it looks like the LG Secret will have a price level between 400 and 500 euros without any subsidies.
I checked with Samsung Netherlands and the i900 will indeed have a GPS chip inside. The specs on the list are incomplete.

By the way, the i900 is placed in the infotainment segment, just like the L870. The U800 will be aimed at the business user.

All phones are on the Samsung roadmap.

The phone had a good and solid metal housing. The display was a little bit poor however.
I was able to make a short hands-on last week:

The optical zoom in combination with the 5 megapixel resolution looks promising.
Yesterday I made a small (no sound) video of the i450 at a press event.

It looks promising. The white version looks a lot better than the black version:
Today I could experience the Touch Dual. Indeed it has no WiFi, operators do not like that ;-). It looks promising. I posted a small (no sound) hands-on:

Today I could experience the S730. I posted a small (no sound) hands-on:

I posted a small hands-on of the Rolly at YouTube. It was show at a Dutch press conference:

This was the first Rolly appearanc in Europe and it was only a day here ;-) It has some nice moves!
The phones will arrive in september 2007. I just put some press pictures online, see:

Don't mind the Dutch language ;-)
PortableGear.nl was at the press-presentation. I made some small no-sound hands-on movies. Enjoy the show ;-)

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
