It is a day off since some hot information about Samsung G800 leaked and now we face the next rumored Samsung phone - the bar-shaped Samsung i550. It is supposed to be a GPS-enabled smartphone, running on Symbian OS S60 UI.
The Samsung i550 is a fresh reinforcement to the high-end smartphone portfolio of the company. Samsung i550 will be the first Samsung GPS-enabled smartphone, sporting 3G and HSDPA (3.6 Mbps). The 3.2 megapixel camera will make technology freaks really consider its purchase. It is also worth mentioning that this will be the first bar-shaped Symbian smartphone of the South Korean company.
The Samsung i550 will also features dedicated keys for GPS, music player and internet browser and an ambient light sensor. Other specifications include a 2.6" display, FM radio with a 3.5 mm jack, 128 MB RAM, microSD card slot and microUSB.
All this functionality is packed into surprisingly small dimensions of 115 x 53 x 13.8 mm.
At this stage no information regarding its availability and pricing is available.

Looks like a cross between K700i and T650. And 9 soft-keys! Hmmm...

Wow, I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about this phone. Well, I actually love it. I am considering trading out my P1 for it to play with for a little while 'til G900 or something comes out. Here is the first review of it, though it is of the first version without WiFi but still pretty good: http://www.smape.com/en/reviews/samsung/samsung_i550-rev.html
I like that it has that unassuming regular phone look but it isn't. That picture above doesn't do it much justice. Here are a better photos of it in black the colour I prefer for this model:

Of course by now, we all should know it has been refreshed to include WiFi. So this pretty much matches the P1 feature by feature for the most part save for RDS and touchscreen and probably a few other negligible features.
It is online at Plemix.com for $389 before S&H. Here is a Youtube video I requested from x1387 of Ebay who also sells. I wasn't sold on his version being the WiFi, so here is the video:

So what do you guys think?
