What's so special about this particular brand of i600? Check out the interface. We've seen some future builds of Windows Mobile beyond the now-current 6.0, and this is starting to look very familiar.

They’ve got some pictures and even a video showing this home screen in action. I highly recommend that you go and check it out – cool stuff! :mrgreen:

I like the way the right soft key changes. Hoping that Facade or another home screen product will enable this for non-Samsung customers.

Yes, that's intresting. It would be nice to see the right soft key change to New when I'm in Facade's calendar or task view. In fact I keep one or two "dummy" entries at the bottom of my task list just for this reason. I can quickly get to them to modify without the need to launch Papyrus each time I want to create a task.

Edit: I liked that idea so much I added a feature request!

Buy an i600 I guess. :( I'm still hold out for a chance that Samsung might share some goodness with their existing customers. Namely those with a Blackjack.

Samsung has a really promissing future at smartphone area. I just don't know why they don't put wifi in their devices.

I own a i320N and I love samsung devices. I hope they bring these new devices to Brazil too.
