This phone is now not actually going to come onto the UK market due to all the kiddies candy bar designs that have flooded the 5 big UK retailers, not to mention the lack of a sales market in flip & clamshell designs generally. Sorry all. The only place to buy one would be across the channel. It's a shame because this is truly the market leader for this type of handset but market forces dictate the new releases.

This phone is not coming out for a long time, maybe after 3 months time so I have heard I am definitely holding on to my Blackberry until this phone comes out. I love flip phones!

Review update, Note to Stavros I removed the protective lens cover. Not that silly dear me. O2 have had a few back I found out it's a fault with a few of these phones. Got a Nokia 6220 classic now & it's boss.

The phone looks OK. I want to see it first before buying it. The features are OK on the phone but I think the screen is a bit small but I like all other Samsung phones so I have got to see it. If it's too small I will go & buy the Motorola V8.

Wow can't wait for this phone to be released over in the UK (hoping it comes to Orange) & well I never! I want it bad it's a lot nicer than the soul & the keypad just rocks, plus I love flip phones my phone (Nokia 6500 slide) has problems like resetting the settings back to the manufacturer & I am on my third one so the next time they will replace it! I was going to get the Moto V8 but I think I'll hang out until this beauty is released!
