The latest handset to be released by Samsung is an Orange exclusive in the UK, with their media-savvy mobile phone going up against the forthcoming LG Viewty Smart and Nokia N97 for the ‘Handset of the Summer’ title.
The Samsung i8910 HD (also known as the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD depending on which part of the world you live in) has the accolade of being the first handset able to record video in high definition 720p.
Add that to the i8910 HD’s 3.7″ AMOLED display, a Symbian S60-powered TouchWiz interface, 8GB of onboard memory and 8 megapixel camera, and it shapes up as an impressive all rounder.
Orange have certainly pitched the i8910 HD as a high end device, offering 1200 minutes and unlimited texts, unlimited satellite navigation (the phone also supports A-GPS) and 500MB of mobile browsing for £40 per month.
The handset is still not free on that high-end, 24 month tariff, costing £78.
The Samsung i8910 HD is out now in Orange stores, and online with Mobiles.co.uk.
