Samsung just announced their new flagship "Soul" cellphone in the spirit of its
Ultra Editions. Get it? Spirit Of ULtra, soul? Yeah. Anyway, as Sammy's go-to phone for 2008, we're looking at a quad-band GSM phone with 7.2Mbps HSDPA; 2.2-inch QVGA display; 5 megapixel, image stabilized camera with Power LED flash and face detection; FM radio; microSD; Bluetooth, and more in a 12.9-mm thin slider. Sweetening the deal is a Magical Touch interface which adapts to your usage (music, camera, etc) a la LG's
Venus. They've even added a jumbled-up Google icon for search and gMail access. Look for it to hit European retail in April. On display next week at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress where you can bet your last money, it's gonna be stone gas, honey.

Oh man, that looks great. I'd love to try that out if/when it comes to the states. Those specs are pretty nice.

Man, that's a nice phone. I bet it doesn't come to the US. What a
shame for US cell providers.

It's quad-band GSM.. so buy it overseas, add your U.S. simcard, and enjoy! (Yes, I know, full price is teh suck, but it looks like it might be worth it!)
the specs and the phone itself are SECKS-SEE!
I want one...

Let's hope Helio brings a CDMA version to the states!

Sweet looking and 12.9mm thin 5mpx camera phone! 3GSM seems to be packed of yummy phones from the big 4(SE, Nokia, Samsung...hmm not sure about Moto ;)).

Actually seems it's missing 3.5 mm jack and has QVGA video recording. Well still good looking hopefully camera performs okish.

If that thing is Quad_Band GSM and Tri-Band HSDPA, I don't care how much it costs, I'm buying it!
