[The phone mentioned below is currently known as the Samsung I8000 in South Africa. - Ed]
I am due for an Upgrade in a few months and my new phone will be the Samsung I8000 Omnia II, My current phone is the i900 Omnia. The Samsung I8000 Omnia II has a few new features which I would love - OLED and bigger size screen. I enjoy touch screen phone so I will never or think that I will ever use a phone with buttons again.
When will Samsung South Africa have Samsung I8000 Omnia available?
I am keen to get this one when my upgrade is due, and it is only in a few months.
I did research on the net and it look to be an awesome update on the i900 Omnia can't wait for this one to come to SA.
This phone will always be one of my favourite phones of all time!
About a year ago Samsung released an 'Eco-friendly' phone with a solar-panel on the back called the 'Blue Earth'. This seemed like a great idea to me at the time, and I was expecting to see all mobile phones eventually coming out with solar-panels on the back cover, but for some reason this hasn't happened.
Now I'm pretty sure that like me, everyone hates having to charge their cell's battery, and simply leaving your mobile out in the sun for a few hours to charge it would be really convenient,especially seeing we live in a country with oodles of sunshine? So what is wrong with the technology? Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to why it hasn't been more widely adopted.

I think this phone is going to be one of the best Android OS phones released this year. The 1GHz Snapdragon CPU should make this phone really zippy, plus there is the 32Gb onboard memory, and the option to add another 32 - all good.
The 3.7" screen should be great too with its 16M colours. I just wish Samsung could squeeze a slightly bigger one in, say 4". Perhaps in the next one.

Daily Mobile has revealed leaked images of an announced Samsung phone, the S5620 (Monte?). It's apparently only meant to be announced at the upcoming MWC but someone obviously couldn't wait to show it off to the world.
It looks quite impressive and not just its hot bod. Features include a 5MP camera, HSDPA, 3G, WiFi, a full touchscreen, and apparently runs "TouchWiz OS". I guess we'll know the full details once it's been officially announced in about two weeks.
