Samsung SGH-i550 appeared at IFA 2007

I already wrote about this one so I don't know why I am doing it again ;)

Actually, to be honest I should stop to write about Samsung’s S60 phones until they decide to seriously start with production with at least one of numerous shown S60 phones.

They just have to realize that they wasted time too much, they bought and paid license for Nokia S60 platform and they should start to use it and make some money from it.

OK, if they can’t compete to Nokia with features than why not try to take part of S60 users with design, very well known style and build quality?

Anyway, the most interesting is that this model is a bit different than the model leaked few weeks ago, besides the black finishing it has completely redesigned navigation and shortcut keys?! What is going on here!? They learn something from the Nokia mistakes with the Nokia N95 and released the “i” version already :)))))

Speaking of the features and specifications, mot much is known about this one, just based and still unconfirmed specifications, 3.2 mpx camera with flash, 3.6 Mbps connectivity, big and bright 2.6″ display, built-in GPS navigation.

However, for me personally, the most interesting part is the track ball that is used instead of the joystick or d-pad. This reminds on one of my first laptop and I am really curious how it will works on a phone?

Furthermore, it has dedicated keys for direct access to Internet, Music and GPS applications, and unfortunately all that is packed into relatively big case with dimensions of 115×53×13.8.
