Okay guys, if you don't live in the UK and a Windows Mobile 6 upgraded Samsung SGH-i600 isn't anything for you I got further good news for you today: Beside Vodafone UK, also other Vodafone subsidiaries across Europe plans to launch the recently unveiled Samsung SGH-i620 Windows Mobile 6 Standard Smartphone! It's not yet confirmed which one exactly but it's more then just Vodafone UK!
The SGH-i620 is a kind of upgraded Samsung SGH-600 Windows Mobile Smartphone, sporting Windows Mobile 6 Standard and a unique slide design while keeping the QWERTY keyboard:

Furthermore, the i620 is confirmed to sport triband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and singleband UMTS/HSDPA as well as Bluetooth 2.0+EDR and WiFi b/g.
Unlike the i600, which was sporting a 1.3 megapixel camera only, the i620 is sporting a 2.0 megapixel camera in addition to its front-facing video-telephony cam (which the i600 has as well).
A price wasn't given today but a release can be expected in August/September time frame (looks like we are talking about IFA time-frame again).

A review should follow hopefully soon, stay tuned for more information!

Cheers ~ Arne

But I think Vodafone could maybe hold an exclusive for some time?
I remember there's a video in youtube showing it for real:

It seems to have touch sensitive keys

Yeah, while I hadn't had the i620 in my hands yet, on the photos and video it looks like - similar to the LG Chocolate.
I'm really looking forward the release since it seems to be a promising upgrade to the i600. However, since I'm doing so much messaging, SMS, MMS and mobile blogging, I think I will stay with the i600 anyway (which is - so far - the best Windows Mobile Smartphone I ever had).

looking forward this device to replace my Nokia. When will you review it?
Because of WM5 the Toshiba G500 isn't an option for me, but the I620 is!!!
