  • very very rare phone to find you could probably find one on the market depends, they only made a few of Samsungs P860..it was the only phone around back in 2005 with 5 mega pixel it was to soon so it discontinued straight away it was a shame waste of time

  • sch-s250

  • The phone works but the cable has the wrong drivers even after translating the chinese cdrom. The drivers would not work with the phone. Q. Are there any drivers that will work in English? These phones are still on sale on eBay. So watch you don't get stung too.

  • Can you post the link of ebay which you purchased the P860 for reference? Thanks!

  • this fone is UGLY!

  • why is the status "cancelled"?

  • Well i just bought a samsung p860 on ebay for 350 USD and I have T-mobile in the US so it is as real as it gets. I will post again as soon as I verify its functionality...

  • To the person who owns the parallel shop in New Zealand and 23 mobile shops in Korea... What is the name of the shop you own? Is it Parallel Imported Limited or CoolMobile? Please tell me....

  • Works great on any UK network. Sim free GSM. Awaiting launch in the UK Hey Louis, the pen in the side of the phone :)

  • Well i have jst bought a samsung p860 from a friend in hong kong it is brand new and it works fine in the UK, I am using the mobile phone company T-mobile and it is fine. The only problem is that the screen is a touch screen and there was any touch screen plastic pens with the phone. I am happy and they do work in UK. thanks louis

  • PeteMC !!!! you sould not buy any products from Alibaba or those stupid B2B connection web site..at least if the company is Authorised by the web site.! i am Korean ... and i have 23 Mobile phone shop in Korea... there is no GSM mobile phone in Korea... all phones are made for CDMA... at least Samsung making for Export goods. and those one you can not get. in Korea... the best and cheap place to buy GSM phones are... from China or Hong Kong as i am also selling Parallel Imported Phones in New Zealand. i always get GSM phones from Hong Kong or China.

  • yes this phone is made for south korea but they don't have gsm network there but they will be bring something closer to that model which is gsm network. its a pretty big phone i must say.

  • THIS PHONE DOES WORK IN USA, i find it in ebay and i ask the seller, he is from CA, he say this phone is unlocked and it can be use in the USA

  • Mr Pete, I am in uk and being offered a SAMSUNG SGH-P310 from Alibaba, im still in the process of checking this guy out, he has a small business based in europe, and claims he has a friend in korea who sells him the odd phone here and there. I'm cautious because this hasn't been released in UK, US or EU that this phone will be as you have already stated for this model will be more advanced and will not work on our standard GSM networks even if the guy is genuine, which i doubt. Can you give me your thoughts. Thank you

  • Does anyone read anything that i write? For the last time, do not buy this phone. It only works in South Korea!

  • I found this phone on ebay for sale from one seller for about $550 USD. Do you guys think it's worth buying? The user doesn't even have insurance for it.

  • As for the LG KG 920 a lot of shops are recalling them due to tecnecal faults i know because i was trying to get one

  • i am currently looking 4 a phone which looks good and does the job of a camera, so when you are on holiday u don't need take othe camer with u..looking.......forward

  • if you wanted to know the full features of the phone you should have read one of the comments i left a while ago. GSM arena did not give the full specifications of the phone, the only good feature they did mention was the camera. The CCD camera and high-sensitivity flash allow the user to take the same quality pictures one gets from a top-end digital camera. Similar to Samsung's premium grade camera phones, the S250 can also function as a camcorder. The 92MB onboard memory can store up to 100 minutes of video (320x240), and a 32MB auxiliary memory is included as a standard feature. The shutter speed is as fast as 1/1,000 th of a second, allowing the user to film beautiful landscapes as well as subjects as close as 10 cm. The S250 can be connected to a TV to display video during shooting or to show footage that has already been recorded in the mobile phone. The S250 comes with a unique "stretch" design, reminiscent of the futuristic phones seen in the movie The Matrix . The high-quality camera lens and LCD remain covered and protected when the phone is closed, and when it is stretched open, the product has the feel of a regular digital camera. Samsung has also set a new standard in mobile phone display technology. Until now, mobile phones had been equipped with LCDs capable of 262,000-color resolution. The S250 boasts a QVGA TFD-LCD Thin Film Diode-Liquid Crystal Display) that has previously been adapted only for top-end TVs and desktop monitors. The display can reproduce 16 million colors, over 60 times the color compared to existing mobile phone displays, all the hues found in nature; thus, QVGA resolution has been referred to as �true color.� Samsung has also taken voice recognition to a higher level by introducing text-to-speech (TTS) conversion. Now the user can listen to incoming text messages or the prepared "to-do" list rather than having to read them. The S250 supports high-image-quality games and 3D sound effects. If a call is received in the middle of a game, the user can restore the game later and resume play. Other advanced functions in the S250 include an MP3 player, mobile banking capability and 64-polyphonic sound. Samsung cooperated with the Japan-based Asahi Pentax, one of the most respected camera lens providers in the world, to develop a camera module customized for the mobile phone. And to anyone who says they have this phone or that they are getting it, i highly doubt it unless you live in south koreaa. This phone was specifically designed for samsung's retail service provider "ANYCALL". The phone is not even a GSM phone, it runs on a CDMA2000 1x network. I dont know why this phone is even on GSMARENA because it shouldn't be.

  • i like this model very mach, if i not 4 get in korea this model is (sch-s250)i very very love this model what month is on this model . i want to know can i buy at korea.

  • Hey Anton if you like 5MP cam phones you should see the LG KG920 or to go higher than that...the SCH-B600. I think if we want phones like this with "good features" as lucas mentioned, then we gotta go visit korea hahaha. Thanks Lucas.

  • I am very choosy abt my cel phones specially the price n i got 1 frm the web exotic phone n i got that cheap then the others n their service is also gud u kan see that if u want 2.

  • huwahahahahaha!!!!! 5MPs OMG! can u guys give us a more info on this pleeeaaase?! i mean, specs and all, jeeze! it's 5MP!!! need to know more!

  • no tom, samsung isnt going to release any phones with that form factor in the u.s. because this is the only phone they ever made with that form factor. they might in the future but i highly doubt it. and the phones that they sell in the u.s. block all of the good features.

  • Hey Peter, are any phones from Anycall/Samsung with that kind of form factor going to arrive in the U.S.? The inter-sliding type of form factor.

  • If America and Europe has 3G which lets you watch short video clips, in South Korea many providers (SK telecom, KTF, LG Telecom) are providing DMB service (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)it allows users of those providers and phones to watch live tv and etc on your cellphone. So I wouldn't recomend anyone in getting this phone. 3G or DMB is th future and Anycall has been pushing for that since 2005 and its being released all over the world especially europe and asia (America has VCAST for verizon but thats nothing).

  • thank you peter. i am glad to see that im not the only person that knows alot about mobile phones. i dont know why no one that comes to this website knows what anycall is. anycall is a service provider owned by samsung, and samsung releases their best mobiles there and only there( in south korea). the phones are so much more advanced there that they will probably never be available overseas. when i was in south korea i went to an anycall store and i couldnt belive how amazing the phones were. when i was there i tested out this phone and its not really called the p860, its really the s250, and i tested out the sch-b200. i know they have better ones out now from when i was there last time, but those were the two most amazing phone i have ever seen.

  • For everyone who has question about this phone I work for Samsung's Anycall in Seoul and this phone is only CDMA sold right now, and probally wont be have a gSm version for the future or never. So please dont lie to others about having this phone for GSM cause Samsung did not release this phone for GSM yet. This phone is only sold in South Korea.

  • tha GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900

  • victor, you cannot buy this phone unless you live in south korea, it does not work anywhere else

  • why does every body go on about 5mpix phones,in the 5mpix range,theres only one that really stands out from the rest.........lg.leo they broke the mold when they made this whopper.fantastic////

  • it is fantastic phone and i have started saving my pocket money to get this phone because this will not only work as mobile but also as a digital camera

  • This phone is not "crap" to anyone who thinks it is, and the camera is not the only good feauture of it. GSM arena did not give the full specifications of the phone, the only good feature they did mention was the camera. The CCD camera and high-sensitivity flash allow the user to take the same quality pictures one gets from a top-end digital camera.

  • W0w this has more megapixels than the digicam that i have right now.

  • this phone is simply crap.only the camera is good n everything is pathetic

  • this mobile is big though.not at all smart sorry samsung must be doing hell lot of functions butnot a smart phone

  • this phone shouldnt be on gsmarena, its a CDMA phone and it only works and is only for retail sale in SOUTH KOREA.

  • this phone is great. It has all the features that i need for a phone. that camera can save us from carrying big digital cameras

  • why is everyone talking like this phone doesn't exist?? HOW COME I HAVE THIS PHONE !!!! am i some kind of millionair??? i bought this phone from EBAY for $550 and it works so good, its not even funny. it is unlocked so it works with my T-mobile. this phone DOES exist and is for sale at a lot of places.

  • its good,

  • saw this samsung's new baby it looks okkk but what is this 5mp camera i dont understand y wwud nebody on this earth will carry a camera with this mobile when is it available

  • samsung p860 was never ment to become alive on gsm market-fools! samsing: get out of the cellular phone market! come on! just like your digital cameras suck, the same way your cell. phones suck! all samsung phones have either reception issues or sound quality issues! on top of that you are the only company that announce phones that never come to live or to be releases (commercial gimmick!) what a scam!

  • Thats only for show off well samsung tat is not releasing?????????????????????

  • CANCELLED ========== it may not be official yet, but I've heard rumors that this baby had been cancelled in 'O5 already. No surprise there... just forget about it, it ain't coming. Skater42

  • H!,this in very intresting and lovely

  • @ Greg OOPS, don't know why I used your name in the "name" box below...certainly not intentional. Skater42

  • @ Greg LOL, I know. I'm thinking exactly the same. It's the same with Motorola, they take ages to release the damn things and if it sounds too good to be true... Then it probably was too. I'm sure it'll be cancelled in the next month or two. The only hope there is left is to wait for the LG equivalent, maybe Samsung is waiting to compete with them on an equal basis. But that would not really make much sense, in a Marketing perspective... Skater42

  • I was lookin at when this phone was announced lol lol are yall sure its actually gonna be released

  • 10 megapixel phone just got released.

  • 100% the best Camera Phone Ever!

  • I hope this phone comes to Europe this April!!! This is Simply Tha Best Camera Mobile Phone with amazing 5 Mp camera!!

  • Still...according to Mobile-Review "The Best Camera Phone Around"

  • Picture Quality =============== To be quite honest, after having a look at the S250 review on mobile-review.com, I'm not all that impressed with the pic quality. It's quite noisy and the colour & contrast could be better. They stated that it's the best model in its class. It's very good, but SHARP are producing same quality products. Sharps success comes from the 5 Lenses, SAMSUNG only uses cheap optics. Ok, 6 Months ago this phone was AMAZING. It is no longer all that great. Skater42

  • OFFICIAL? You call that SamsungP860.com OFFICIAL? Anyone could open a site like that. I want OFFICIAL NEWS REPORTS from Samsung, Vodafone or whoever is retailing this phone. I still don't believe it will be available anytime soon. Skater42

  • According to Softpedia.com the Samsung P860 is the "Highest Rated Phone" with a rating of 8.3% ... By the way this phone is an imaging phone & the Best Imaging phone at that...better than the N92, Sharp 904 or the LG 5Mp phone... When it comes to Smart Phones, the Sony-Ericsson P990 or the E70 are the best...according to Symplification.com Gosh...N80 is just a wannabee with poor imaging, poor ergonomics, poor battery life & overall not worth it... Samsung is the Best with it's P860 & i310

  • this is a DUMB phone. this phone may have a 5 megapixel camera. but nokia n80 is better than this because it has wlan, Edge, 3G etc.... i want a phone with camera not a camera with a phone........

  • OFFICIAL: 15 days before release in Europe. visit www.samsungp860.com for confirmation.

  • is it going to be launched in public? or just for netizens to dream and wish for?? that there is a thing called 5mp camera phone of samsung, well samsung may launch after the nokias and sonys launch 7-10 mp phones, which will get the big market, and may be after that samsung should launch the modified .01 mp camera phone???

  • 28 days before release...

  • this phone is nang because it has 5 mega pixel and everything else

  • The Korean S200 (I believe it was...) model is EV-DO. They are not very good with going from standard to another... I think it's strategy too... With the latest Samsungs just touching 2-3.2 Mpx, it's not wise to launch this handset yet. This handsets features are no longer all that superb compared to the latest models and competitors models. It will probably be cancelled if it's not released within the next 2 Months. THIS IS AN ESTIMATE AND NOT A PROVEN FACT. Skater42 PS: Same thing happened with Motorola E1120...waiting waiting waiting...canccelled.

  • this product was released in 2004 in korea with 8mp but this one has 5mp. slight mod 2003 1Q was 5MP released... In S.Korea Why does Samsung sells them only in S.KOREA ???

  • James Bond. Korean edition =)

  • "comming never"

  • these fone is very good i have hope it

  • By the way... for the person who asked about memory, these specs are just preliminary so not everything is shown... Try searching the Korean version of it.

  • Omg, this fone is real, NOT a fake. The people saying its "just a picture"... I'm sorry but YOU'RE WRONG. It's been released already ages ago in Korea. The only setback I suppose is... I don't think a lot of people could afford it. T_T

  • Memory? please

  • All the Specification is not given.

  • this telephone will be the best telephone in his time and any one see it and read its possibilities will buy it in the same time

  • hey everybody are you trapped in the same dream as i ,where you find yourself on gsm arena drouling over this phone and your bed sheets are moist when you wake up!!!!!!,well somebody wake us up . this phone will never be out in the market.we all have a better chance winning the lotto and making are own p860. the champ was here!!!!!

  • Memory?

  • I think its for VIP or James Bond only:D

  • This phone was launched in Korean CDMA market almost 3 years ago...and will it ever make it in the WestCoast??

  • if you even look at this phone do you like think so this is real?5 mp is much but he?what the hell are you going to do then?I lost my interest already.to bad i tought it was going to be a great phone......

  • hmm...never release this phone? its already out... some ppl.. learn some facts before you open your mouth.. talkin like u super nerd or something..heh..

  • i agree wiv casper after all if u want 5mp why wont u buy a real camera further more this phone doesnot have more options compare wiv smart phones of its series

  • Stop drulling guys this phone will never come out on the market... It's only a picture its not real! Stop dreaming! Again, this phone will never be real! Too many people has been a victim wasting their time talking about this phone but they never realize samsung will never release this phone!

  • This phone is going to be discontinued for sure.... Look at the trend! Everybody is making SLIM Phones including Samsung. 14- 15 mm wide! This one looks at least 20-22mm.So the designers will be influenced by the..... numbers!!! Too bad. This phone looks and probably feels like a real MACHINE!!

  • this product was released in 2004 in korea with 8mp but this one has 5mp. slight mod.

  • This is on the market already. Search Samsung SCH-S250. It is almost exact. I Just dont know if SCH-S250 has bluetooth or not.

  • Yeah it looks great but does it work great.

  • it looks so cool that i just want to us it now.

  • after seein this phone for the first time...i cudnt sleep...i mean 5 mp!...i can hardly wait for it to b on the market..

  • this phone was released in korea last year.. it's really goooood!! my friend has it.

  • ouffffffffffffff what a fone.. 16m colour TFT and 5 MP camera 0o0o0o0o0o0o its awesome!!!

  • That's the pfone! The only with a camera like that! I like it!

  • OMG !!!!!! Its been One and A half Year thiS foNe cAme ouT SomE one Should Quickly Relesase tHis Fone !!!!! FarOutr Ive Been Waitin All day!!!

  • wow...... 5mp camera is superb, but no edge? internet speed is not there, come with edge as well!otherwise something i always wanted to buy, but why its only launched in korea, every one would have loved the 5mp phone,pls launch the phone internationally, i am waiting for the phone in india!.

  • Hi! Can someone please tell me when can i get this set. Is there any site that i can get it from since i read it is launched in Korea. and what about the other 7mp one.

  • cool I think theres already 7mp camera phone in korea and mayb also 8mp

  • this phone is out in korea i was just there recently.

  • oh my god!!!! it s from far the best phone ever made! i like it a lot both as design and as properties.5 mp camera and 16 mil collors?! it s too good to b true!this is a litlle Pentium! i can t wait to appear in stores so i can buy it.i can only say : thank you Samsung!

  • i dont think this phones never gonna come out its been months now i think its a lie

  • um...simple answer? the reason ppl want the the phone/camera combo is so it's all in one. then you don't have to carry 2 things around.

  • ok, 1st explain to me why any1 would want a phone with 5MP camera, you should rather buy a real camera then, and it isnt that what phones should be :(

  • they have no reason to lie about such a thing, i pesonally cant wait for it to come out... when it does i know i wont be able to afford... unless i blaze on ebay... yeah boy. peace out.

  • the CDMA version is out in korea, so its not a lie, + the price aint dat high . check samsung korea site or anycall korea

  • WOW! 5MP Camera in a phone ... hmmm ... im impressed ... to bad i think ill never be able to get my hands on one ... My network wont import it into my country ... *sigh* ... oh well just have to get myself over to Europe and buy myself one i guess ...

  • it's not real.they lie.why the dimensions and batery life is not shown.but if it's real it will be on ery high price 3000Euro may be :)

  • does anyone have this phone? tell me can i use it on Tmobile coz it says triband? i want to know tell me..???

  • What are they waiting for??? Nice try of teasing people so long that way they can rocket the price sky high..

  • its amazing 5 mp i cant believe it i"ll bye it whatever the cost is

  • 2 MP ? It can`t be really ..

  • its been a whole year since they announced this phone..maybe its time they release it for christ sake?

  • TFD: Thin Liquid Diode excellent for viewing video clips such as avi. or mpg-4.

  • maybe samsung could release this model P860 as a limited edition... As such, it won't suffer losses as compared to quantity release of the P860 in asia ( except south korea as the phone is being released in their market ) or europe or america market.

  • Don't be stupid. This isn't just a digital camera. As well as MP3, highspeed internet, internet banking, remote control excellent camcorder... can your digital camera do that? You guys wouldn't know because you won't have it, but when you have it you'll see how FANTASTIC it is. So get a life man...(complaining about a phone that's too good for you..)^^

  • Mike : I always agree with you :)

  • Cool phone..sick ass camera but who the heck will need a 7MP camera on their phone...if u wanna take photos than buy a digital camera..it's less expensive..with the money for this brick you can get a 11MP SLR camera!!!

  • click here you can see 7mp phone but this is korean page

  • the camera is good but the desing not so and i will see the samsung phone whith 7 mp camera who can let see mee ?????

  • it's already old model in Korea, samsung has 7mp mobile phone, and i have too,(i live in Korea)

  • it`s a super cool telephone but it will cost a lot

  • This phone is werry great but it wont be ready only in 2006 i think .2005 is not thrue

  • Samsung has developed a cell phone with a 7-megapixel camera and will show the device for the first time later this week at the Cebit show in Hanover, Germany. Compared to the earlier model and phone with a 5-megapixel camera that Samsung also announced last year, the new handset offers several additional photography functions. These include functions typically found on digital still cameras, such as manual focus, user-controllable focal length, shutter speed and shutter priority, aperture priority and fully manual shooting modes. Such features are unusual in camera phones.

  • This telephone its Available, with 5 mega pixel camera, the new one, its wit 7.5 mega pixels, and u can buy in 1q 2006 . I dont understand wy the estatus in this page, still Status Coming Soon ??? its not true

  • LOL, this phone is exclusive to Korean market, such a pity, we can't get it

  • This product is officially claimed as my #1 DREAM PHONE!!!

  • Absolutely true.. if any website asks you to pay with anything other than paypal or western union.. it's a scam.

  • The website is a scam. They had changed it to Your-mobile-world.com but it is the same people. They require you to send money via Western Union which is a BIG NO NO.LOL>

  • http://cheap-electronics-online. r8 .org must have been a scam-site closed for good by web master well spotted,keep eye out for these and let others know.thank you

  • found this and other unreleased phones at http://cheap-electronics-online. r8 .org , emailed them and said had in stock, is it a scam?

  • I've done several web searches and only saw the one that even hinted at having this phone. CAVEAT EMPTOR !!!!! one way cash flow and questionable product shipment. I'm no gambler and NOT taking odds lol

  • I'm inlclined to agree that it's probably a scam....... To require a Western Union money transfer before shippment sounds fishy.... ROTTEN fishy

  • The website is definitely a scam. Any website that doesn't accept credit card payments is scamming. The P860 isn't out anywhere in the world.

  • I read the post by "Cyber-Spud" and went to the site that has this phone, along w/ the new released D600 The site doesnt seem to promising... it seems like a scam.. is it a scam site?

  • this is the forst phone with 5MP camera, so just rememer the first phones with camera... quality was really POOR, it's not all about size, let's see the quality bfore get excited for this camera

  • Oh... kind of disappointment. So 4 gsm version, it doesn't come w brilliant pentax ccd sensor, it's giving us only cmos sensor. N w TFD, TFT screen, it doesn't seem tat catchy to invest on. Very sad 2 got 2 know tis. Sob sob..... ;

  • will a 5 mp camera/phone have a consumer friendly price? depends on what you call consumer friendly..... new ( to me ) web site "phonetastica.com" 422 USD

  • I like the 5mp camera, the 16m colour TFD screen and all... but why so bricky?

  • dude.. u fink a 5mp fone will have a comsumer friendly price???

  • I rated your unit perfect in every aspect, I'll buy one in christmas. Hope the price is consumer friendly, more power.

  • Finally, the highest pixel phone industry are just warm up,but still has to wait for truth, it would be nice, if its as an advertised.

  • i believe this phone is out already no? last time i saw a guy had it at the airport :D

  • this phone is really 5MB pix. I have my CDMA version of this phone in korea. Currently I'm living in NYC so I cant use it here. I cant wait until this phone release

  • this phone have good features but i know that samsung is lying and they only want to grab attension with this phone so people wait for this phone to be avalibal and don't buy any phone from nokia or sonyericsson witch is better than samsung and this phone will not be avalable ever. READ!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The phone is great.I can`t get my mind of at it.thinking at 5 MP.

  • I can't just believe that i will have that phone which has 5 Mega pixel camera I just love this phone just for camera

  • it`s not wrong. the camera IS 5 mps... i believe korea has camera phones that has up to like.. maybe 7 mega pixels.. i`m not sure but its up around there... this phone is so gorgeous when you see it in your hands...

  • One of the worst phones in the market BUT its good.....for nothing useless features 5MP cam. Its better if one uses NOKIA 3310 now a days

  • I have a question can ny1 tell me for how many secs or mins does da video works nd how can camera b 5mp i think itz wrong

  • TV Out means you can connect the phone directly to your TV and watch your video clips or view pics thru the TV.

  • to ark angel tv output means u can view pictures or images from ur phone to ur tv. it does not mean u can watch tv on it.

  • what mean TV output.did i waching tv on this telephone.i must know.somebody tell me

  • @ Kyle, The lenses do make a big difference, but the actual size is irrelevant. The optics need to be good, what really matters here is the sensor: The sensor size must be decent, and it will matter whether it is a CCD or CMOS matrix. The new Sony Cybershots have the same size lenses as the Sharp 903 but a better sensor that make the quality a bit better. Mobiles will incorporate decent enough quality to replace a Compact Digital Camera. skater42

  • TO "SKATER" I'm not saying that Panasonic is trying to compete with those brands. And I believe that yes, Sharp 903 has the most advanced digital camera out of all cellular phones. What I like about Panasonic is that, it hase its consumer market strong in Asia and is happy about it. Panasonic does not go crazy, does not overloas its phones with useless crap.. and creates simple mature looking good sounding phones just like the SHARP does as well. ( Trust me new Panasonic and New Sharp phone have very good and smooth sound quality, even better than Nokia. I personally cheked it).

  • hey u fo' real ahmed?... u got one?... how much did u pay for it...

  • oh my god ! this is the best phone i have ever seen . i have just bought it and enjoying itz camera the best phone

  • @ Open Minded Is PANASONIC trying to be in competition with Nokia, Motorola and Sharp? To a certain degree, but not on the same level. There is a reason why MOTO and the rest are on top of the list! And there is a reason why Panasonic is so cheap... Who says that a Mobile Phone will ever replace a SLR Digital Camera??? It won't... But it will and already has caught up with the Compact Cameras! (V903SH,3.2 MPx, 2x optical zoom; P860 5Mpx, etc.) skater42

  • To:Open-Minded wowowow.. u r actually comparing this phone to panasonic's phone.. the camera of p860 already owns it.. +++ this phone's info is not completed or may change anytime.. panasonic's phone cant compare to this ok?

  • Thank you "Mahyar" . That is what I always keep telling people as well. Every picese of crap brand such as even Motorola and Lyosera have Megapixels today. Without optical zoom, basic camera features, real automated flash ( not a flash light, lol) this 5mp camera whould be added to the phone for only extra $100! AND THERE IS nothing special about p860. I saw this phone live at Korean store in New York. Keypad layout is so tight and small, it is simply ridiculous! It is not for mature people again! What a shame! PANASONIC IS THE ONLY BRAND, that didn't overprice cheap Megapixel phones, and on top of that has created sa7, mx6 phones that have -Large 16m color screen -Excellent sound quality of the earpiece and of the mp3 tones -Good battery life -Beautiful and MATURE design! (NOW, THAT IS A PHONE. I MEAN - A REAL PHONE, NOT A TOY! CHECK THE VS7 it is out for sale now for only $365!

  • don't be fooled by 5 mp camera because although it's very good but it's not comparable with digital camera so don't waste your money for buying it!!!!!

  • I never liked samsung, but this is awesome!!! keep up samsung

  • great stufffff man!! 5mp camera and a 16 million colors screen to view photos, excellent, just the thing i need, just great stuffff!!! great

  • Dear kompany Samsung, I'm looking one more time one fakt: About you there's no technikal limit! Keep this way! Be closer to ordinary people! Hight price is not all!

  • To: All people! this phone = GOOD! buy it! only w800 n k750 win it! LOL! This phone not bad dude 16mil colours + 5mp camera.. clear enuff man!

  • Geez it's not the number of pixels that really counts, but the sheer quality of lenses! still there is no optical zoom and all other things that a decent digital cam has, I personally have Casio Z750 cam which is simply perfect - as small as sony T1, 7.2 megapixels, great quality lenses , full manual options, 640-480 movie recording with mpeg4 compression which gives almost one hour of an astounding quality movie on 1 GB card, and in a near future no phone will be even close to these standards meerly because of the design barriers.. but ok SE K750 does a good job I must say ;D cheers!

  • Luk @ da size ov dis fone, 5 m.p or not dats a bit big, ugli 2. Al wait til other 5 m.p fones cum out dat r smaler an it wont b dat long a bet!

  • I forgot to add links to those great Samsung products: HMMMM when will we have those phone in GSM mode? I guess only by mid. 2006 (sph 2300) and by the end of 2006 SCH-V770

  • UDOUBTLY this will be one of the top camera phones on European Market when it launches by the end of this year. Yet, it is still not even close to 3mp professional digital camera. FOLKS CHECK THESE PHONE-CAMERAS ( yes you heard it right, phone cameras not camera phones) BY SAMSUNG that are out for sale in Korean CDMA market: SCH-V770 (7.0 MP, 3X optical zoom) SPH-2300 (3.0 MP, 3X optical zoom) Those, I can call trully professional digital cameras with a cellular phone in one body. That can replace a separate digital camera. No Sony w800, k750, Nokia n90, or even Sharp 903 can replace a professional digital camera. Neither Samsung d600 or other coming soon GSM megapixel Samsungs can replace digital camera as well.

  • This phone is high price phone. I have friends in korea using this phone. It's pretty cool. the camera doesnt lag and the feature was awesome. there is samsung exhibition place at Time Warner Building in NYC and I saw the model of it. If you have time, go there and check it out. I cant wait until i get this phone....lol

  • gr888888888t phone 5mp thats a bit harsh for a phone

  • 16 million colours i guess is pretty cool, but seriously, its going to drain the battery...a 256k colour screen is good enough for a phone...

  • Y dont we all jus buy digital cameras.then we could use phones for what they r made for-TALKING!!

  • i went to new york and checked it out the samsung store. the screen looks an HD screen. it is utterly amazing.

  • Yea it writes that is 16m colors but thats isnt anything new all Panasonic VS models has 16m colors.

  • The funny thing is its not 256K but 16 mln.colors Search there sorry that it is in dutch but im from holland! specs are beter readable there

  • this phone design is amazing. All i have to ask is that how's the color display? Is it as good as the D500 w/ 256K color? Also it said it has RS-MMC...I also wondering if my MMC card in my Nokia 6230 will work if i use it for this phone.

  • aznlilboi is you know anything about mobile phones and cameras you know its true no mather what digital camera will win (better lens,auto focus,etc.) but who wants 5MP camera on phone ok by me, its good when you need it urgently sometimes, you cant carry digital camer everywhere you go

  • jack: tht is not true man, y dont try the 5mp phone ^^ or mayb u don have money to buy one

  • No matter how many mega pixel of the phone come out still lose to the digital camera right!So i advice you guy better don't waste your money on the camera phone. If not you will be regret!!

  • Anouncements to every people who are intrested in the 5 megapixal phone samsung p860 will come out in short piriod of time. For more further in formation contact this email address

  • Just a note for all ppl out there - DO NOT purchase any phone from ppl who claims they can get it cheaper or whatever ! It's totally a FRAUD !!!

  • this phone has an amazing camera but it is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE phone stick wi the d600 cyz l8a o and it has opyical zoom

  • o my god cmon 5 mega pixel on a phone is abit to much !

  • hey david... samsung already announced the world's first 7 megapixel camera phone for a while now... here is the link i am not sure about 12 Mega pixel camera phone, i cannot find it anywhere. But some ppl say samsung's phone is fragile.. not sure about these phones (P860 and SCH V770)

  • Hey , thats is not real , there is no phone with 7 MP camera or 12MP !!!! if there are give me the link to check it out. This phone just great i think.

  • Accually, Samsung is from Korea. Currently, Japan's highest megapixle phone is 4mp by Casio. Now, Korea has a 7mp camera phone with 3x optical zoom

  • Hey...this kind of phone came out in Japan with 7 Mega Pixel about 1 year ago now already have 12 Mega Pixel.

  • hey.. howz this phone.. howz the camera??. does it have optical or digital zoom

  • To RK and i call us. This phone came out in Korea about one year ago with 5M camera. Now in Korea, 7M camera phone(with 3X zoom) was released.

  • I think this phone came out in Korea about 6 to 8 months ago with 5M camera.

  • This phone is much better then k750, k750 have few features compared to that phone.... I think this phone is to good, exept that he is a little big...

  • as compared to k750i its just poor in all things butas compared to other phone it is good .

  • Make it smaller, add TV Out, and with this larger megapix it's very omparable with the D600 except for SIZE, And it's ratinhgs show 8.3's. hmmmmmm, why is that????

  • yeah i call bs due to Korea only uses cdma iam also korean and travel there for frequent business. Samsung in Korea has only launched a 3.2 megapixel camera just las summer so how is that they had this before? please if you dont know please dont comment, and this phone will never be sold in the states except for grey markets which it'll cost around 800 dollars witout contract becuase t-mobile as well as cingular are getting very strict on activation payouts to master and sub-dealers using non U.S. inventory phones.

  • if p860 will ever sell in u.s., the price will be drops below $499.99. or little more higher because the model sch-s250 which is cdma version phones are already solds in korea town in los angeles around $600.00 for 2yrs or $500.00 for 1yr contract with verizon. but the bad news for american user are sch-s250 has only korean menu.

  • I know this becuz this phone was already out in Korea almost years ago and there are a lot of reviews and they say it's not that satisfing.. I would definately recommend Samsung's D600. It would be the best phone in the market when it's out.

  • actually.. this phone is not that famous in Korea due to its lack of feature..

  • im using samsang d500, for past three months, before that i have used nokia 3220, i change to samsung becouse of the memory, but the sound of the ring tone is not audiable, when it is in my belt purse, i have lot of missed calls, it makes me disappoint on the phone, on p860, does samsung have cleared this mistake, some times softwares are not working. 5mp camera and 16m colours are enormous, and not needed for a phone, for a phone, a incoming alert is important, without that what ever samsung done will not have good effect on the users, now im think of moving samsung to sony k750 thanking u

  • This phone is real, well the CDMA version is. Its quite popular in Korea, and the 5MP camera adds a nice touch. I'm not too sure when the GSM version of this phone will be released, but hopefullly soon. Besides, this phone is technically outdated, you can get a 7mp version of this baby in Korea already, complete with attachable zoom lens.

  • i would far rather have a nicer looking phone and a seperate digital camera than have this i think it ugly with a capital U!

  • as much as i lich to belive this phone can't bee real!!! 5MP??? 16mil colours?? that can't beee!!! a plasma tv has max 10mil!~!! i think the phone will have a skyrochet price!! and a lot of us will be sad:(((( but i wont belive it till i see it

  • 5 MegaPixel phone. the back side of this mobile phone looks just like a normal digital camera. you'll feel useless having ur digital camera already. but i still wanna stick to D600 or E730...

  • i have the sharp p902 but i still want to get this phone...do anyone know how much it will be in USD....and when will it arrive to america....thxthx plz email if u have the answer

  • the phone is not for sale yet!!!!! i'm from romania and i garanty the phone is not to b found yet!! if i'm rong(wich i'm not) the guy who sed is for sale in romania shood tell me in what store?? or give my a link!!

  • the phone is allready for sale in roumania for 550 euro! samsung rules!!!

  • 10 out of 10 people said samsung p860 is great in design and technology, this phone is highly recognized. (even though its expensive) weird~ americans~ jealous about it? cuz your country cant produce this kind of phones? dont let your jealoucy talk s*** about somethin thats good.

  • Q-One, I still wonder how the weight of the phone could be different when opened and when closed???

  • P860 should come to europe in january 2006 like i750

  • This is not a brick phone the dimentions are 49.6 x 114.8 x 20.6mm when closed and when open its 49.6 x 114.8 x 21.8. The weight is 143g when closed and 149g when open.

  • This is not a camera phone!!! This is a camera with phone!!!

  • OMG 5mp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really Ownage Mobile ....

  • anybody any idea when this cool thing comes to europe?

  • Samsung D600 has FM radio.. But why do you need a radio in ur phone?? I think it's useless.. I would rather listen to mp3 or watch a movie with my phone.. Anyways, D600 is going to be the best phone when it's out.

  • Why samsung donot use FM radio in each model and where is Operating System. I love 5 MP camera but not perfect model yet and still in comming soon.

  • Even my plasma tv has 7 million colour. what about 16 million? must be really cool!

  • '16M colours' = '16 million colours'

  • i have heard aboy 65,000 colour screen , i have heard abou 262000 colour screnn but what is 16 m colour screen now

  • it has a tv output, you can display those pictures at quite a large size, and what says it has to be a brick? You should check out the XCUTE DV2 it's a 6mp 16.7m color phone and it's not very big.

  • I don't know why samsung makes these phones. I don't think a phone needs more that a 2 MP camera and a TFT 256k display because if the phone will be a brick and the battery life will be too short.

  • this phone is going to be like 1500 dollars :( !!!!!!!!!!

  • IMPORTANT I think samsung should realise that people r now getting tired of stupid phones, u people r going too fast like siemens and already u have lost ur reputation in the market.

  • hello, i have interest in purchasing to phone pls contact me in this mail address [email protected] okay

  • Here is a link about 7mp phone pictures

  • In South Korea, 7mp camera phones are released this month. 7mp phones are great! almost digital camera!

  • i encourage the company entirely as there product continue to shine.i will like to ask maybe we can buy online so as to sell

  • I think that it will be a breakthrough. 5MP on a phone sounds great !! But Nokia 3230 disappointed me when I saw the picture on my monitor. It was nearly the same quality with the pictures taken by 6600. The best policy is to wait and see when they're released.

  • In my opinion the 5Mp camera will make poor quality pics. I'm sure a Canon A510(210Eu, 3Mp) makes much better pics at a lower price. I think the phone doesn't make it's money. Symbian is a lot more advanced, but Samsung hasn't heard about it yet.

  • wow. 5mp camera! I think i'll buy a mobile in stead of a digital camera, because they are the same. 5mp! hehe

  • to me this fone will come out is either this year 2005 or 2006 if not will be cancel for another design n launch another model wid similiar specs =)

  • it okay and nice.

  • ok...this isnt a phone with an integrated camera...its a camera with an integrated phone thatz soo cool! whats not cool is whats gona its price...i think...

  • is it out in the uk?

  • This is not a phone but a digital camera

  • JUDGE FOR YOURSELF here is the review for the SCH-S250 (P860)in all it's glory. I think the pictures are just as good as a real camera.

  • I have seen sample pictures of the Taiwanese Version of this phone...(Samsung XXX-200 or so) and the pictures were F***IN' AWESOME!!! They were smooth, no grain, colorful... you just couldn't tell the difference from a real camera. And features, OMG features are amazing. The screen is smaller, yet it's 320 x 240 which means they compressed the pixels even more. I'll try to find the site for you again, it's very good!!!

  • The only thing it lacks is optical zoom, thats why it wans't "raved" by so many responses...on top of that, small lense makes it harder to procure wider angle capabilities and exposures... but recently, if y'all know the news...samsung decided to add x3 optical zoom to it...how nice...

  • its a very good phone

  • This phone was out in Korea LONG LONG time ago... But they say it's not that good. I would rather buy Samsung D600.

  • phone with 5 mp camera? its really..really...really great inovation but as usual samsung always has poor features. is camera phones have a same quality as good as digital camera? even it is has 5 mp resolution?

  • i think that the selling all depends on the launching price of the product shown

  • hi all, dirk i looked for your link but found nothing but writing it couldn't understand. here's a link with some pics and written in english for those like me who can't read korean: 7 megapixel sch-v770

  • Ehm...16 million colors and 5 MP camera...nice..it must cost alot..it looks kinda ugly tho.

  • will the camera have AUTO FOCUS????????????

  • NIce PhOnE BuT NoW TheReS a 7MP PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The proper Diemension of the p860 is 115 x 49.5 x 18.5m. And the weight is 116g.

  • do any one exacly know how big or heavy this phone is???

  • 256k = 256000 colours .. close to this number 16 M(million) = 16.000.000 colours :)

  • 16M = 16,000,000k, like when you but a TFT monitor with 16 Million colour, 64 times better that 262,000k

  • sorry, 16M = 16,000k ?

  • can we have some update info for this phone? more pics? 16M color??? means 1600k color? ewww for tat.. 5m pixel camera gonna rules the new camera phones.. dimension? weight? when it gonna be release?

  • Hey with a 5 mega pix cam and 16 m screen this phone is a blast. but problems can arise depending on the type of battrey used because with such powerfull hard ware the usage time for an above average user would be very limited. oherwise its a great phone

  • almost same model as this was released in korean market last October. 5mp camera phone.. Samsung is trying to release d600 in north america this month(june). and focusing to release 5mp phone in north america in this year..

  • oh my god this phone has 5MP camera that is amazing unbealivle stunning wwwooowww

  • right now all we have is speculation. As it is we can't possibly know what type or size battery they plan to use. If it's the standard Li-ion with it's relatively low mAh then ofcourse it'll be a short talk/stand-by time, but if it's a li-ion polymer with a higher mAh then it could possibly have a decent talk/stand-by time. As far as we can tell the cdma version has decent battery life, but we'll just have to wait and see. Judging by the cdma version of the phone the screen and camera are actually quite good. I can't wait for my chance to get my hands on it. Only downside will probably be the price, the cdma version foes for $990 in South Korea. As far as the N90 goes, why choose? Get both. Maybe get an A1010 as well.

  • what do u really want? a mobile phone or a good quality camera? battery life will drain very fast if both thing is going for a heavy user...so is not that really practical at all to have so high pixel camera at a mobile phone.

  • it's would be good if Samsung release the P860 early in East and south-east asia soon. Many fans including me long for korean-made phones in the korean market. However, they are not suitable for GSM or 3G network. What a pity...

  • they already have a cdma version of this phone out in korea for about a year now, so i think it will be good. i liked the other cdma one they had with the optical zoom, good optics make a camera not how many mp it has...

  • Inresting phone, but still not up to par with any other companys like Sony Ericsson, or Nokia, 1st does not have the 3G/UMT net work service or capabilitys, 2nd if its gonna have a 16m screen and a 5mp camra how big is the phone gonna be almost as thick as a v902?, 3rd what's the battery life on the phone gonna be? probably horrible cus of the screen and the camra just gonna eat all the power up. So in all aspects this phone is just not practical and just some what of a gimick.

  • well i think karens got a point, depending on how the n90 does nokia will probably put carl ziess optics in every "revolutionary" camara phon so when the ig 5 mp comes around the optics are sure to be nearing an actual camara and as for the screen, samsung takes the buiscuit on that.

  • No, this is not true. The Closest rival of the P860 will be Sony Ericsson K750i, Nokia N90 and Sharp 902. None of these match the camera quality of the P860. But, shots taken by my P860 (CDMA version) at night seem to be abit grainy and had abit of noise. Which my k750 and 902 test phones both had. at day time, this phone produces maximum results and can be compared to some digital cameras.

  • I think that this is an awesome phone considering the hardware part. I mean a 5mp camera is unheard of and 16 m screen was unimaginable on a phone. But Comparing samsung 262k, 1.3mp phone with nokia's equivalent it is noticed that the image quality was much better in nokia. So im sure that the nokia 5mp will be better so just wait for it, however 16m screen is surely gonna hike the price of this samsung phone by leaps. Dont think it is worth the buy at the moment. Im gonna wait for nokia to come out with something similar and compare so i can make an informed decision

  • i dont think this phone's gonna be release in the uk but i hope so it's a super phone the upgrade to the famous p500 loads of features on this one but i really cant say about it i only heard about this phone i'm a shop owner and i only can gather information about it so lets wait and see it seems to be sexy and feature rich ??????

  • I bet that optics aren't good enough for 5mp camera.

  • I think Samsung set the bar too high...like c'mon!-16M(it's not a TV!) and 5 MP Camera?!.It will be releash in about a year minimum,and this phone will be HEAVY.like 350g,min.

  • Does anyone know how much memory has this phone and when exactly it'll be in Europe ???

  • is this awesome phone coming out in Uk ? I'm wondering

  • This phone has been out for quite a while in South Korea, called the SCH-S250, but does not work on gsm networks, for Korean uses CDMA networks. When it was released in South Korea, Samsung said that it was only going to be released in Korea, but I guess they changed their minds

  • This phone really exists ? Or is a prototype ? It's too good to be truth . . .

  • what the hell!? 5mp..? as good as a digital camera.. grr.. i want it!

  • While 5mp may be a bit of overkill you also have to look at the screen resolution you're getting in this thing, 16m colors. That's insane. All I want to know is what is the GSM release date and how much am I going to be paying. Though the release date matters a lot more than the price. Also, will it come factory unlocked.

  • Another thing that Samsung should have done was to use a easily available SD or mini SD card. MMC card is hard to get and expensive making memory media hard to get. I'm happy with my Sharp 901iC with a video recording capability with timer like a DVD/VHS deck.

  • I truley think that a 2MP camera phone is the maximum, because you can only put a small optics onto the hanset. To utilize the full feature/resolution of a 3MP or more you would need a high quality lens (fine optics) otherwise it's just a overkill. Putting a 5MP CCD with a limited optic is not going to produce any better picture than a 2MP camera phone like the 902SH.

  • if you go to mobile review hey have a review of the cdma version and they say the pictures are good but not 5mp good~ N90 will take deeper depth pictures and looks much better

  • wowwwww...16M color...5MP camera... Samsung realy rules.....

  • I think is so good its good so i think it

  • i see it so good to use

  • i see it so good

  • i see it is so good to use

  • where is msn messenger

  • Phone is really a great one nd is ahead of all the phones in term of Camera nd Colored screen but it lack some crutial features as Edge/Utms which is the future of the technology and it also lack FM nd also it is down with look. But still what all it have will lead it ahead of all the phones of its category.

  • this is a nice phone with many function . i think samsung is the best more than sony-ericsson nokia and siemens... THIS IS REALY A NICE PHONE

  • The Phone is massive , but excellent features

  • im using one right now with cdma which i bought from korea and using in us. my provider is verizonwireless. i love the phone plus the cam somepeople are saying that is not that good but i think is great phone.

  • telefonun fiyatı nedir

  • To skater42, No need to doubt the 5Mpix., but good need to doubt the usefullness of it! The problem is that the small size of the lens make the 5Mpix 'useless', the raw picture will be so 'unclear' that a good deal of smoothing is needed, thus reducing the effictive resolution... This is pure optics. (Rayleigh's criterion) The inaccuracy of the picture is roughly inverse proportional with the diameter of the lens... (e.g. answers.com/topic/angular-resolution)

  • Pics. etc. of the CDMA version:

  • Yes, its the best phone i have ever seen. if anybody knows this phones price? i am waiting impatienly!!

  • this phone are best in the world and samsungs are best!!!!

  • I think, Samsung is the best, more good than Noia, Siemens, Sony.... and 3/4 of the price of this phone does the camera. I want to buy this phone what is more good than Nokia 6630.

  • I hope this phone is as good as it looks. Does anybody know what kind of pricing we can expect?

  • Anser To The Question Being asked... Its a Quad band phone , so definately Its gonna work every where across each continent, cuz it works on all the frequency's such as Gsm ... Its a phone for Life , as a experienced person i can say that u wont find any better phone then that ...Stay Tuned u might Like it when u use it

  • does anybody know this.. Will the P860 come to europe or is it only for korea and other eastern countries??

  • well finally samsung killed it....:)))

  • some photo shots by the camera here

  • Future is Near.

  • I want to see some sample pictures from the S250! I still doubt that they are pure 5Mpx images. It must be interpolated!!! Anyone prove me wrong please. 16 Million colors are awesome, though we've had them a while in TFT Monitors already. It's just a matter of compressing 320x240 px into 2.0" screens. Quite remarkable I think. I hope sharps next model will feature 16M colors.

  • no mp3 ringtone!!! n 2 big, howeva itz very gr8 features fone!!! well done samsung.

  • This phone is really gonna set the standard when it comes out, I've heard it's gonna be over in the UK by the end of this year, my upgrades due in december on my D500. The only thing is the screen "looks" too small, but maybe it's different in real life. 16m colours is insanity, considering we're only into 262k at the moment. This will cost a bomb on contract but i'm getting it either way.

  • If anyone is interested in buying the P860, P850, or P730 then let me know - I can get you these phones. You can contact me on [email protected].

  • is this the same as the sch s250?

  • wanna see the pic?? u can go to the taiwanese webside...they talk about this phone more ... here..

  • hey guys!!!i dont know abt u but i sure do am in love with this fone!!!!!hey when will it be launched and wat will be its price!!!!sumone plz tell we r deing to know its price!!!

  • Well.. 5MP camera.. 16MILLION COLORS :o THIS SAMSUNG surely gonna set a standard for all other fones.. AWESOME SHAPE.. HEAVY CAMERA.. and surely LIFELIKE "BIG" Screen.. TFD .. woah.. i sure wanna get one ... i really wish that SAMSUNG cud make S60 Fones with these formats..

  • I'm very sceptical: 5 MPx, 16M screen. Sounds all nice and good, but I need to see some sample pictures to seriously convince myself. I strongly believe that it's interpolated from like 2MPx onwards. The lens just doesn't seem to be good enough for 5Mpx. I mean, it's probably just more bout competition than actual quality. Samsung wants to beat FOMA and Vodafone in Japan, and is doing OK in that. But only by specs, I hope that the quality is just as good. If anyone has more DETAILED specs on the camera I would appreciate it. As far as the screen goes... I'll need to see it. Panasonic is also producing 16M screens, but from their reviews it's as good as the 256k screens. I'm waiting for the new GX40 by sharp, if anyone has some info on that please let me know!!! PS: Why can't Samsung manage to put W-CDMA in some of these models other than the Z-Series??? Would it be so hard to produce a W-CDMA out of a RTT Evolution?

  • When is this going to be available in the UK? I want this phone now!

  • It has MP3 player ofcourse. One of my friends in Korea uses this for CDMA version. Great one. It cost like $800 for CDMA version in korea. I donno how much they gonna sell GSM version in US. I'm using P730 right now but as soon as this phone's gonna come out, imma gonna get this right away. lol

  • it has got an mp3 plyer it says on the discription

  • will this phone be for european market?Can we buy this"wonder of phone" in Europe.And can you e-mail me when this phone will be avalible?Thanks!

  • It is samsung S250 , 100%... they only make it support english language... so great mobile... 16M screen, 5M Camera... Just i wonder it got MP3 player or not?

  • Wow.

  • hello mr tom cruise or mr tom n jerry because this phone which i place a order to samsung ages ago n now only they got time to produce the phone i want n i even told them to install aircon inside the phone n they told me that if they put everything inside this phone n what about other models a phone which can put washing machine n fridge n many more n pleasure is mine mine only n i shock when a 10 year old boy using nokia 6680 n went up to him n ask him where he brought it n he said at toys rus for 50 bucks he he he he n bye bye bye

  • this fone can extend memory by using Rs-mmc memory card so the memory isn`t matter when you take photo but this fone`s built in cam is CMOS sensor and it didn`t take Optical zoom in it So it`s cam capacity doesn`t really good as other 5 mega pixels

  • its the worlds greatest phone i am gonna buy it as soon as it launches in india which is going to be really very soon and by the way it has a memory slot so u can increase ur memory samsung isnt dumb to make a 5mp cell phone with very little memory

  • how would you know have you got the mobile???

  • this fone is so cool that when u take a picture is like me looking on u. dont waste ur money buying this fone because when u take a picture ur memory space is full so its not really neccesary by a phone that can make and recieved calls

  • This fhone has dimencions of 115mm x 50mm 31mm It is 3.1 cm thick!!!!

  • what is the price of this phone(as $) and when will it be in turkey???!!!

  • Well I think having 5 megapixels in a phone is just un-neccessary! I mean piture sizes will be about 1.5 MB per picture! whats the point in buying this phone then? Just go out and buy a decent digital camera instead! I am sure they will be much cheaper then this!

  • But this is still the best phone(and digital cam :))

  • TO sijoahnhyang You stupid boy!! Motorola E398 is 220X176 pixels !!! NOT 160X120 pixel!! Sharp was the first to come up with 320X240 displays then Motorola!! Sharp had 320X240 in Year 2002 You bumb Samsung has no 320X240 pixels currently in the market!! Sharp and moto us ahead!!!

  • yes only 76800 pixels on that screen at your command. each one shows one of the 16mil colors poor...? :) it's weight is the same as a 3310. p860 is the best phone.

  • y'all must be whack or something... the phone resolution doesn't acquire much color, it's the pixel number that matters... 16 million color plus 240x320 QVGA TFD-LCD. ex) NOKIA 6670-128x128// MOTOROLA E398-160x120// NOKIA 7610-194x144// Samsung P860 320x240...lol

  • My friend showed me the CDMA version of this phone which is currently selling S.Korea for about U.S.$800, good luck getting it guys, and I hope a few of you ebay it so some of us in U.S. can get this amazing for as well! P.S. Price dufference shouldn't be that great, but that's some expensive phone, I tell ya!

  • dis is wow..i mean ...dis is something i have never seen before...it has 16m colouers..and 5 m cam...this like a walik PC...and i do not no about the cost and if its a resonable price...i say this will make a majour blow...as this is the finest phone perfomence i have ever seen...

  • !Megalomania! Earphone and Microphone added to a digital camera...I actually like this phone.I realy admire the provokative behaviour of the S.Koreans.They are not afraid of showing the world which technology is available.These are eccentric experiments and I am sure that they will lead to some masterpieces.

  • sorry for the mistake again i meant speech to text you can simply speak into the phone and it automatically enters the text for you lol it would be crazy seeing someone talk to their phone. :D my bad i wish it was text to speech which would be cool.

  • when i was saying voice text i meant that your input text into the phone and it plays it back to you in a voice. when is this phone available btw and how much will it be ?

  • this phone not too bad it around same weight as nokia 6680 and smaller than a 3510i. it may be bigger and heavier than other phones available but for its features it is ok. 16m color screen and 5mp camera. awesome the highest resolution camera phone phone i ever seen someone have in real life was 1.3mp and a 256k color screen. so this phone should have a clear screen and awesome picture quality. the specs sound awesome being able to play back your videos from your phone on your tv and the high resolution 3d games and the 3d sounds and voice text too awesome. the 7mp phone is bigger than this and looks like a phone stuck on to the end of a camera but this looks ok apart from the top part of it but will not matter too much.

  • kinda cheep phone, only 1200$ in japan

  • Samsung sux, to expensive and they are not good as the price say, only some of them have bluethoot and yes their cameras sux to, exept some of them.This phone looks nice, but there is not so much info about it on this site.5mp and 16mil colors is good, but dont know about his memory inshared and card slot (1gb? 2gb?).You better buy Moto v1150 or SE 800W. :)

  • it's weight is 3g less than a nokia 3310 does that bother you much? digicam+phone=proff+fun hey dk. why do you say it doesn't have autofocus it saw it has on other i pages... how could sam forget auto foc.

  • to all the people who say this is a se killer, It is not a se killer because se tries to make phones witch are nice and small and this thing is just a big phone with 16mil colordisplay, the camera is probably in the huge hump above tha screen. If they could make it as small as a SE it would be a SE killer but this thing looks like it has a big tumor.

  • Dear down there with no name who was scared of hear something from me I wasn't talking about this phone you SE didn't you see the site that shows picture of 7MP phone?? I was talking about that phone next time read more carefully and look at the other opinion.

  • juntin u no nothing abt phone lol....so don't talk abt it lolz

  • when in 2005 is this beast of a phone comming out it dont luck that good but the 5mp can change all that

  • Long long time ago Samsung's brand was nothing, but with this unbelievable phone... I think Samsung answer anything is so possible and please don't be naive all my friends in the world !!! Nokia or Sony-Ericsson or Siemens or whatever... not bad phone but who's the best now??? The answer is in Samsung P860

  • He yall, well, i saw the cdma version of this phone at CES 2005 and all i have to say is that this phone is amazing. It is not a samsung CCD sensor or lens. However, it is basically a Pentax optio just put into the phone. when i was playing around with it, I noticed that the phone was kinda big and heavy. However, for it's features, i don't mind the extra girth. The screen is AMAZING. I looked at a ton of "new" phones that day at CES however, when i saw this phone, my eyes ere shocked to see the screen. I can't realy describe it, but it was really really clear and vibrant. It didn't even look like a phone screen. Also, the phone itslef looked sooo awesome and construction felt solid. I can't wait to get it in the form of the GSM p680. Furthermore, many of the people in here haven't even seen the phone in real life so don't dis, because it'll put any of your phone/pda/camera/mp3 player to shame.

  • ha ha how could this fone have a 5 MP camera and besides, samsung cameras suck, a normal 1 MP digital camera is better than a 5 MP samsung camera.

  • by the looks of sides of the phone it kinda seems like its a "semi-slider" phone? searched the internet couldn't find anything maybe you guys could figure it out. please email me if you do

  • hey hgaha? how could you be so ignorant? what are you talking about? the truth is indeed the truth. and the facts are indeed facts:D this phone has 5MP cam and 16M colours my dear friend:D nowhere near what SE can come up with in the near future. so i vote you better have the facts next time to back up your lousy SE.

  • TFD is better than TFT

  • Is the video camera 5mp aswell as the camera. Could somone please tell me. thank you

  • Wahou . It's a beautiful phone with a lot of specifications . A screen with 16M colors ! and a camera with 5MP !! I wish that it's will sold in France ! (I'm French so sorry for my English )

  • to: dk samsung made 7 mega pix phone already in Korea. period~

  • wow! 5mp camera +16m colours ! samsung has really done it ... but y tfd screen ! y not TFT??????????????i think tht wud hav an adverse affect cause the quality of the colurs n camera wont be gud ! but thn again we wud hav to see it to believe it

  • well.... the camera has high resolution u think its gonna replace ur everyday digicam?? IMO no.... cuz u hafta becareful not to drop it, not too get it stolen etc etc if u damage the lens its not gonna be cheap to replace the lens..... even the nokia 7610 plastic lens is bout 200 MYR imagine a pentax lens.... i`d say better u get a separate digicam....

  • WOW 16Million colors?hmmm .... how come no information about battery! I bet this phone the battery might not stay longer likes other phone .

  • haha ok this fone looks nice. But the truth is still the truth. SE is for the pro, who really nknow how to make use of a handphone; and SS is for the amatuer, just want sth to show off (look at my fone, it is really nice , blah blah...)

  • he he this one kicks some serious ass! like the SE asses!!! :D good one to those morons who go on about the W800. jeeesus this site really attracts some naive kids especially on the SE pages. just hope they'd grow up soon. anyway to those who say they'll buy a 'proper' phone and then a 7MP digi cam...bcos this is more of a cam with a phone option...hey who are you kidding man? what ur saying is like the fox and the sour grape story...stupid is the most decent way to describe it.

  • Samsung rules.the best phone on market.roaming electronics

  • Samsung SCH-S250(cdma version of this phone) PRO: 5MP CCD camera(pantax lense) MP3 player 1,600,000 color TFD LCD. 64poly TTS(phone reads names and numbers outloud) Matrix-phone style sliding phone. Cons: No auto focus function for camera.(for CDMA version) Price($990 in South Korea) Others: Battery life is acceptable for CDMA version.

  • i bet samsung makes better phone than sony. :p

  • i bet sony ericsson got a 7 megapixel camera ready for testing

  • for paul yes its possible with the right sofware and if u got a cable but u should better get a bluetooth stick

  • Coooooooool !! Phone !! Yeahhh`..!!!

  • To me actually.. NOkia ... SE... hav this kind of technology as well.. is just that.. they r trying to earn more money .. ... once they come out 1mp they earn .. then they slowly upgrade.. wid 1.3mp then earn another time.. slowly then they upgrade to 2 mp n so on.. so for our forecast it will nv gonna catch up the camera's MP ... but i tink bcuz of being to competitive in the market now ..that samsung gonna come out a fone wid an outstanding n unique features n smash other brands

  • and is it possible that you can put mpeg and mp3's etc. through usb with a usb connection?

  • i've got a question...can you play mpeg,s and mp3 formtats on this phone? cause everywhere i look on the internet i can't find anything about it

  • Wow this is great! except i will expect the price would be very high. though on some part i think they built a camera not a phone!. Anyways still this is the best camera phone will ever be built for this year. Samsung guys! are you planning to trash our digital cameras?????

  • And why would i need this monster of a phone? 1 it looks (and probably weighs, too)like a brick, 2 it's more of a digital cam with a built-in phone than the other way around, and 3 i'd probably get a nice proper phone (ie one i can use to TALK to people) and a good strong 7 Mp digital camera for the same price. This type of integration is for show-off techies. No thanks.

  • Unbelievable ... is Samsung trying to trash the other brands? when will it be launched though?

  • Samsung is using steriods. They have gone completely beyond their competitors technology wise. 5MP for a phone is thus far, unheard of. A company like that must be wealthy with an abundance of resources and technological expertiece. I am currently buying additional shares of samsung stock.

  • I was hoping this phone would come out on GSM networks when I heard it was exclusive only to Korea. Anyone have an idea of when this phone would be released?

  • The godfather of all phones.To bad I won't afford it in this life time...

  • very nice phone, kinda 2 have 1

  • this phone is smaller than this picture shows this phone is slide phone~ can you see??

  • No comment! 16 milion colours and a 5MP camera?!?!?! you cannot ask for more. I wonder whem i will have one.

  • hmm very good but is it heavy n bulky n have to try it out once release hello moto

  • This phone has 16 million colour screen. So really this phone kicks any phone's ass big time.

  • wow, atlast samsung came out with the gsm verson for sch-s250. i wanted the sch-s250 but dint wanted to convert to cdma but now good news for me.

  • that 7mp camera looks mad on that samsung phone it looks like a big torch on the back of it.

  • Wow! Samsung has really com a long way, a 5MP camera that should really be a sight to behold. But why wasn't a radio added? it would have really given the phone a finishing touch. Keep up the good work.

  • ugly very

  • samsung p860 brings the revolution in mobility and to the cell phones its very good phone i hope to have a lot of memory!i will buy it~

  • You make no sense, the D500 got a 1.3CCD camera, it's functions are top with the rest of the high end phones, with exceptional build quality. Maybe you should dig deeper in your pockets to buy a real phone instead of plastic models! and if you didn't like the D500 you will not like this, it's hell bigger than D500, with a bulge on it's head, trust me, if you hate samsung so much why would you be so interested in this weird hybrid phone anyway???

  • i hate samsung phones the d500 has to be one of the worst handset ever produced but this one has got to be one of the greatest phones ever made carnt wait for this handset to be released i have got to get one over the years samsung has made somne of the worst handset ever but i think they can now be for given i got to get me on of these

  • when is this phone will launch in malaysia?

  • Oh my God Finally a complete substitute for cameras but samsung should now improve the shas of these mobiles too..

  • Ironically this is a dumbed down version of the CDMA version coming to US in 4th quater! Though this one seemed to have added bluetooth... But hey this could be out as early as 3rd quarter since the korean version is coming to US 4th!! can't wait!!!

  • One Word!!! Wonderfull!!!...

  • This phone won't be out until 2006. That's virtually certain. It will be the last one from the Cebit 2005 batch to be released.

  • i think it is just a pro cam. it should has more facilities for programing.

  • Any ideas when this phone will be available in the u.k.?

  • mmmmmmmm i don't know. it is good, but i just don't know. well, i like it a lot, is so good. so very good fone. i like all samsung fone, very very good.

  • samsung now got 7mp phone... they are crazy-_-;;;

  • this phone is not that expensive after all. because i saw this phone last year(i think) in korea. the cost was 1million won that is about 500pounds(uk). its about d same price as v3 from moto. i think i will be cheaper with contract. not so expensive after all.

  • (this web is a chinese website that introduce the newest Samsung 7.0 Mega Pixel phone in CeBIT 2005) Show them that Samsung is still the best!!!

  • Wow is all I can say!!!! Is that 16 Million colours I see??? Samsung, you have certainly done the impossible, AGAIN!!! keep it up. Blow the opposition out the water!

  • well, is a great phone alright, but juz think properly when buying these phone..it might cost u for a brand new PC for just a hp...if u ask for high MP camera...juz buy a camera instead a camera phone..juz think bout it, from mah opinion, sony ericsson w800 or k750 is more then enough..^^

  • this is best of all hummmmmmmm 5 megapixel

  • This is the gsm version of the cdma phone already available.

  • hello.. what a phone 5m pixeli.. oh my.. i`m wondering about the price.. who knows .. it`s the best photo phone i know.. samsung is nr1 at photo phones.. great phone .. maybe in next 2 years i`ll get one like this one

  • All I can say is there's no any other brands that have a 3 mega pixel or above now... but Samsung did it wif 3 Mega pixel and 5 mega pixel wif model Z700 and this P860

  • who care about wat feature... as long as a phone with a bluetooth,mp3 player,movie player,high resolution camera and display thats enough for me.... Did Nokia have any phone wif a 3 mega pixel or 16 Million colour display?

  • not worth your money. i rather get a phone and a digicam seperately.

  • motorola suxs i would say... this PHone is the best...there not very good in software but... they are the biggest company of all...they make all kind of stuffs..so this time ..they will be the best...aboute the price...i thing something like 1000...EURO! not dollars

  • I'm seen this fone in korea,, and im positive its a "SLIDE"

  • Samsung went crazy together with sonyericsson, but samsung crazier. This coolest phone in earth.

  • daaamn...16 million colors, 5Mpixels, that's crazy, i'm sure it has mp3 ringtones, i wonder about the cost, more than $1000?

  • dont get sucked in buy the features of samsung fones because they quility is not as good as motorola, sony ericsson and even nokia

  • is this fone even out? if so where? it surely is very expensive,,but looks like the matrix fone, wudnt mind it..its hype.. samsung rulzzzz!!

  • its not a slide phone but it tops out like metrix phone. this phone is d best

  • no mp3 as ringtone??????

  • I would still say the Handset is useless if dont have a SmartPhone Operating System like Symbian or Microsoft or Linux

  • so big

  • 5Mega pixel camera is wonderful. but doesn't support a optical zoom that's useless. lookin is aweful. looks like a stupid Robocop's head. i hate it!!!

  • This is aint a slide phone right...? It's kinda big but with the 5MP camera.. It definitely rockz and rulez the handphones world..

  • Lucky I waited for this!!! Now can you see my knees tremble!!!

  • wow~ this phone is sick man~ now no one will not even wait for motorola V1000~ P860 rulz~

  • So this phone finally came out~ I was waiting for this cellphone even tho this is old style in korea~

  • if you don't have money like me to buy sam phones just don't say bad things about them because they have the best phones let's face it. i have p510 and i m proud of it

  • to F4pr: He ddint wrote that they got 16 MP phone, he wrote that the display is capable of showing 16M colors (16000000 colors)... 5 MP is more than enough... for EVERY user, proffesional ptographers would never use phones for their needs... This phone is great, next to W800 on of the best phones ever made.

  • Panasonic got 16MP ? Samsung juz released a 7MP phone.. Ya, i think that 5MP for a phone is good enough.. I feel that digi cam cannot be compared to handphones..

  • hey, come on, 5MP. is it enough?

  • no matter what, Panasonic is still one of the early mobile manufacturers that came out up with 16M colour pixels! Anyway I am at first very excited with Samsung's new phones! but now they are all the same features huh...!

  • Look at the huge thing above the screen so guess were the camera is located? and when u use so much room for a camera 5 megapixel isnt that great.

  • many of the panasic phones also have 16M colour

  • Almost all or the samsung Camera Phones are faulty the camera is dead lcd faults and many more like V200 , X600 , E700 , E715 these are some of the mobiles which have this fault and majour fault is camera i am sure this phone sucks to

  • Ugly phone, hate it.

  • amaizing phone....it will be very expensive...5 megapixells.I wonder what phone will be after this.

  • Welllllllll....................amazing..........­......WOW............Samsung is the best. 5 megapixel it's hot man

  • the first phone with 16 million colors will be a revolution and a great success for samsung the 5 megapixel camera is amazing iam waiting for this mobile to come and i sware to guard i will bye it.iam waiting the answer of sharp and sony ericsson.this mobile is strong answer from samsung i think i think that the camera was made by the help of pentax.but i want memory to that phone i prefer external memory like mmc cards or sd cards or rs-mmc cards.

  • 5MP is so cool....but i think samsung is releasing their handphones way too fast....

  • holy cow!!!!its revolution

  • its good but is it big or compact n is it coming s,pore

  • Omg, gsm version of sch-s250 ?? 16M TFD n 5 mp cam... it wil surely rock sg when it's out !!

  • Samsung gone wild!!! check this out guys. The SCH-V770, intended only for Korea, world's first 7-Megapixel camera phone with attachable lenses, built-in 3x optical zoom, QVGA video record resolution, BT(v.2.1), MP3, TV output, MMC micro memory card, and many more.

  • What is thi...........? a digital camera? its amazing ....... nokia will be flushed out of cell bussines

  • finally....omg i went to korea to buy this phone, but in korea the p860 is also known as the sch-s250...and its worth about $1000...who knows what the cost of the GSM version will be....this phone isnt that great as i handled it in korea...phonewise....this phone sucks....why not just buy a 5mp digital camera?....anywho samsung is still doing good

  • These new sets of phone are only *** Preliminary information *** the info for them could change, or they might decide not to release it in some countries. Things can still change :)

  • this phone will be as expensive as a car ... or an apartment ... or ... u can trade it for ur brother/sister GOOD JOB siemens

  • Nr. 1 !

  • Oooooooooooooo God!is Samsung got crazy!Man so many phones at 1 time.5 Mega pixels.Man i think this phone will rock!
