Never could understand Helio's approach with VK Mobile and Pantech phones, though. They claimed they wanted to bring big-featured Korean phones to the US, but the KickFlip and Hero were hardly that. Besides, all Samsung and LG had to do was to release one of their behemoths in the US, and it's game over!

And that's just what Samsung seems to have done with its new SCH-a990 3.2 megapixeller being released on Verizon. A phone with better specs than either the KickFlip or the Hero, now on sale in the US. Where next, Helio?]]>Jul 8th 2006 5:57PM
