Samsung Haptic 2 Touchscreen Phones Unveiled Comments

"Other niceties include customisable vibration modes (which can only lead to no good)"

Well, happy smiles of the ladies modeling this phone in your link seems to suggest you might be right. Akihabara, incidentally, is a wonderful sounding word. That phone looks nice. It'll be good news all round if this Haptic 2 touchscreen technology proves its worth as a usable software interface.

If it's fitted with 3G or higher, wifi and GPS this new Samsung mobile will definitely be a contender. Having built in map software of the like Nokia offer (so there's no need to download live mapping data) would certainly clinch the deal for those not on contracts (yeah, there are those of us who don't really need them y'know). Let's hope Korea remember us here in Europe.

As always (yes I know its getting old) its really the operating system that will make or break any touchscreen phone, will be interesting to see if the UI has been upgraded enough to be a serious contender to the "you know what"...

And i imagine itll be popping up on ebay at some point if someone wanted to try one.. :-)
