The Samsung i8910HD is one heck of a sexy phone. It's the first mobile to feature a high-definition camcorder and it has the world's largest OLED display. This is the main feature and characteristic of the handset and we believe Samsung have produced an amazing mobile phone, Samsung always deliver and surprise us with the very latest technologies.

The Samsung i8910 HD shows Nokia how to make a fun, usable, attractive touchscreen phone sporting the Symbian S60 operating system. The improved homescreen is a start but there are still a lot of issues that need fixing like the scrolling and that annoying one-click-two-click mismatch. Nonetheless the Samsung i8910 managed to impress us and left us eagerly wanting more. And hey, we haven't forgotten we need to come back with those still and video samples.
