This phone was on my list of interesting phones for this year since I saw it during the Barcelona GSM Expo thingy. Unfortunately, since it has been unveiled, I haven't heard much about it.
It is a very nice phone design wise but one thing was missing : Wifi. Is Samsung revising its copy?

Anyone with info?

it has not been released onto the market yet.... wont come with wifi i dont think, just hsdpa.... though i would have 150% bought it if it had wifi

I know it hasn't bee released yet and it's not supposed to come with wifi but seeing how it seems to have disappeared under the radar, I thought that maybe Samsung went back to the drawing board to prepare us a nice little surprise.

If any super spy/insider could give us some info. Thanks.

hasnt really gone under the radar. it just hasnt been released yet you cant expect to hear much about it until it is

Posted by remirez
Ok then, well let's close the topic and wait for the release.

Anyone knows a Samsung centric website to try to unveil some info about this?
It is the only phone announced at the 3GSM in Barcelone this year which didn't make it through the door yet.
I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung when back tot he drawing board to add Wi-fi to this baby seeing how people asked for it.

I'm all over the P1i at the moment but this one would get my full attention if it was to come out soon. It is really slim and small with a big keyboard (compared to P1i).

Anyone knows anything?

Is it me or does the phone seem bigger in these hands than it did when showed at the 3Gsm conference?

Hi guys,
I saw an ad this morning in my tube station stating that the SAmsung F700 was about to make it into the Vodafone line up for Christmas.

http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/index.cfm?go=offers.Samsung-F700

It's advertised as an Iphone killer (again), could it make the alledged P5i already obsolete?

Has anyone had the chance to test it yet? What is the OS?
