The Samsung i8910 HD is almost undeniably the largest-display S60 device ever produced and one of the most heavily-spec’d smartphones ever made for any platform, featuring a huge 3.7-inch 640 x 360 capacitive AMOLED touchscreen, 8mp camera, an S60-specific implementation of the Samsung TouchWiz with 3D enhancements, and HSUPA.
The bottomline is that if this phone does not get you all excited, S60 definitely is not your thing. Thanks to Orange UK’s retail launch of the device, Brits are getting really lucky anyways. You can now grab this handheld for a very affordable £97.50 (about $151) on a £35 per month plan, which seems like a pittance to pay for one of the real hugely stylish (pun intended!) handsets of 2009.
