Back at the end of May we showed you the new Samsung i620 Slider. There was a fair amount of mixed thoughts on it. Some of you didn't like the sliding keyboard, and some didn't like silver finish. Well, it looks like some of you got your wish. The i620 has appeared on the Vodafone UK web site and is listed as "coming soon". The picture on their site shows a black i620 - no silver for Vodafone UK!



Unfortunately, it's expected that this model will be tri-band only. However, it does have WiFi, Bluetooth, HSDPA, EDGE, GPRS, and measures in at just 113mm x 59mm x 11.8mm and only weighs 95 grams. If Samsung can manage to get a Quad band version out, then I will add this to my must have device list. Ah, who am I kidding; I'll suffer with just a tri-band device. :mrgreen:

A D-Wheel! Wow! I have been eagerly waiting to try out the d-wheel on a WinMo device. I love how it works on the BB Pearl. At the same time makes me wonder how the horizontal scrolling would work?

Is 11.8mm its real width? That's thin!!

The size mentioned in May and now don't match.

Based on the size mentioned today (113mm x 59mm x 11.8mm), here is the comparison:

Based on the size mentioned in May (94mm x 59mm x 11.8mm), here is the comparison:

Also, the 11.8 mm looks like it is pretty thin for a slider. It is pretty close to the *cough* iPhone.

I'm guessing the size difference is related to being open vs closed.
