So, I've tried finding out more about this phone as I've become obsessed with slim lttl candybar phones. Unfortunately, every link I can find basically leads back to the link I've posted! I really want to know if maybe this is just some great photoshopping someone's managed or if Samsung truly is going to release it.

Any thoughts?

It does look a bit ugly at first, but I think the design does grow on you after a bit (or at least, it did for me since I love retro stuff). I have a feeling that if Samsung releases this, I'll be jumping off Moto's ship.

I'm with you, I'd buy that in a second... I'm all about stuff that doesn't look ordinary (ie. shoes... wife says I always end up buying the ugliest possible shoes).

Yeah...if it looks ordinary, it's kinda boring...cool on the shoes...maybe your wife's just jealous she can't wear them?

Thanks for that Very informative...8.9mm is AMAZING...mmm...I still don't believe they can fit the specs the other sites have talked of into a shell that thin...but I'll buy it if they do!

End of the year? Hopefully before December is over...that'd be such a fun Xmas gift to myself

It's really REAL! But, it doesn't have a transflash card slot...darn...maybe not as hot now...
