We had some tactile problems with the touch-sensitive buttons up top, but the scroll wheel is like butter. Like most keyboards, we need some more time with it to give it a fair rating, but at first touch it's certainly passable. The screen seems awkwardly tiny compared to most recent smartphones, but it's certainly sharp and bright&quot;</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/zt/auto/1188914165.usr3.jpg" border="1" alt="" /></p><p>The Samsung i620 Slider was officially announced at IFA in Berlin last week.&nbsp;Engadget had a chance to play with the device and have posted a short comment on it along with a series of pictures.&nbsp; It looks so small and pocketable. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=3611">MobileBurn</a> also have a small write-up on the device that covers off all the spec's and expected availability. I really hope there's a Quad-band version coming to North America.&nbsp; I'm really liking this phone, despite the small screen size.</p>

Also, I think we'll get to know how to get black softkeys with WM6 using registry hacks with this device, since I don't believe Samsung uses BaseHueExpress or something :)

Looks neat, I'm curious how easy it is to use the keyboard since the top row of keys are right below the sliding portion of the screen :confused:

While this phone certainly looks interesting, I'm really waiting for Samsung to release the i760 model. I'm in the market for a Treo 700w replacement, that has Windows Mobile 6 and maxed out with lots of memory, wi-fi, etc. I'm not assuming that Palm's next offering is going to be good enough. Anybody with any new info on the i760?
