If only it supported dual-sim... :)

In any case, I'll be taking a serious look at this handset when launches - it seems to do pretty much every (and more!)

looks like a direct competitor to the Nokia N96 to me!

Wins out on Camera resolution, HSDPA ability and battery life...

I just found that the screen is QVGA, which means 320 x 240 pixels - no 640?? booo :(

Looks very similar to Nokia N95-8GB/N96. How does it compare to it?

Hmm, looks ok.. However i would probablu go for the SE C905 that will be coming out soon. Similar feature set and my past 2 mobiles have been SE and never failed or dissapointed me.

they should have called the handset "George"... anything would have been better than "INNOV8"

Personally, I'm OK with "INNOV8"

I've never been cool in the past - I'm not cool now - and I have absolutely no intention of being cool in the future - so I am just fine and dandy with it being called 'INNOV8' and looking like a big black brick.

And 16 gig PLUS an SD slot? It's the N95 8GB, I always wanted. Sign me up baby.

Nokia better pull their thumb out and get the N96 in stores quick, otherwise the INNOV8 will murder it; better HSDPA, better camera, bigger battery... Right now the only tick in the N96 box is DVB-H (which no-one can use!)

Right now, the N96 will be available on 3 in September as far as I know, and they are the only confirmed carrier, so Samsung could steal a march here!

what I want to see is media phones like this capable of handling larger size encoded DivX files (eg DVD resolution) being able to be played natively rather than having to re-encode them first.

Having a large video codec support is all well and good (and a reason I'm interested in this phone...) but it's pointless if you have to re-encode as you might as well just re-encode into one format! Choice of codec is a bit superfluous!

I'm really liking the way Samsung are going here. They bring out the Omnia to kill the iPhone and now this to kill the N96. Both are good handsets by all accounts as well.

My only question is, how comes the omnia has most of the same functionality but is slimmer and sexier? The N95/96 are great phones, but they are at the upper end of chunky. Please Mr Samsung, make this phone slimmer and I will be your friend for life.

Having said that, it is still a very nice phone although before I get my wallet out I'll need to see their interpretation of a "slide out keyboard" and would like to have a play with the UI.
