Beating the Apple iPhone to the punch will require more than just 3G connectivity, slim dimensions and a higher megapixel count put 
together. But what if you’ve got a phone with all three features with touch-screen and – a pause is called for at this point – a slide-out QWERTY keyboard all packed… another pause… in a slim design?
Samsung have just announced their latest Ultra offering and the F700, which is a smartphone with slide-out keyboard, HSDPA, a 5.0 MP camera and touch-screen, and built-in Wi-Fi, looks like an iPhone killer if there has ever been such a thing.
The QWERTY keyboard looks absolutely fantastic with big keys, minus the peripherals a separate row for numerals, F-functions, arrow keys, etc. The 2.78-inch touch-sensitive screen uses a Flash-based user interface, which will be a welcome site for Web addicts. Virtual controls will have enhanced usability because of VibeTonz.
More info, especially with regards to pricing and date of availability, next month during the 3GSM World Congress.

zbiggie says:
the keyboard is key. many people will love, especially if they have openoffice functanality, The camera is also great at 5mpx you are looking at great pictures, as long as the lense is good quality, and hopfully it comes with a stocked onboard memory at least 2G with a decent proccesor

so it has a keyboard cos it doesn’t have a ”’multi”’ touch screen like iphone.unlike iphone the screen act as screen and keyboard and it works well with itunes.iphone is just like a mac,you can download whatever application in a website.

viola2213 says:
i have this phone and it is amazing! i love it, easy to use and i dont know how i lived without it. its small enough to put it in your pocket and big enough to hold it with your shoulder when your hands are busy. p.s if u have long nails, cut them bc it’s a big difficult with the touch screen, i cut mine:)
buzzyy says:
Hiyy can i jus t ask,
i really like this phone but my friend said that the time limit when you are on the phone and it’s battery isn’t that good. Is it ??
i don’t know what to think because all youu have said really good things about it
Help mee

Joyce says:
I’m sure I have the same question as many people.
When will this phone come to Canada?
I WANT IT SO BAD!
Also I heard the touchscreen messes up easily?
I would like to know. =)
viola says:
In a way it’s true, the battery dies faster when you use text messaging and games, when you talk on the phone it doesn’t die as fast. It is available in europe and it cames unlocked. But the internet option does not work if u buy it somewhere else outside north america. Except for that, it’s an awesome phone and if you are text messaging junkie this is your best friend.
michaela says:
i want this phone so bad but is it avaluable for sprint??? and what you dont get the internet on it??
michaela says:

kelsayy says:
Do you have to have verison to purchase the phone?
Do you have to buy internet or television when you buy it?
lobo-g says:
is this phone in Canada? does telus offer it?
Matthew Farrer says:
where can i get one?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
sydney says:
drat . . . i want it sooooo bad . . . y canada have NOTHING!
Mart says:
I would hope that Canada will start getting the cool phones a lot sooner.
The CDMA phones are a lot nicer than the GSM phones unless your
willing to paying an arm and leg. I will never go with Bell Mobility again and
would like Rogers and Fido to step it up and sell nicer phones on a
plan not the shit that they have know.
Thanks for reading hope someone that works for Rogers or Fido reads
this…
nomsa says:

James says:
I heard its really good, but i dont think it could beat my phone. i love my phone, its an LG enV2but i kinda wannna get the enV TOUCH cuz its really good!!!!!!
blah blah says:
i don’t know why people say iphones good…..
i don’t know why it’s so popular…
i mean it has respectable features like buying any application u want, or u can jailbreak it
but there are so many other better phones that has less flaws than iphone
and F700 is definitely one of them
krystal[: says:
wow this phone looks exactly like the qlyde !
PhoneLova! says:
I really want a touch and a QWERTY phone but it has to be on Pay As You Go! As soon as I find a really nice phone, it’s either too expensive or it’s not on Pay As You Go! I’m starting to get really annoyed but if anyone has any suggestions it would help me out alot!
Thank You.
PhoneLova! x :-)
