Samsung SGH-i560 GPS Symbian slider heading to Vodafone

I just don’t get Samsung why they keep hiding their Symbian smartphones from us. The Korean giant is currently selling its smartphones in selected non-western countries (Russia) and through Vodafone (NYSE: VOD). I guess the Big Red insists on exclusivity, but still we wouldn’t mind seeing some of the Samsung Symbian smartphones available OUTSIDE Vodafone’s offering.

Anyway, the new Samsung Symbian S60 based smartphone (pictured above) is called i560, has a slider form factor and will be available somewhere in the fourth quarter this year for about 415 EUR. In terms of specs, the upcoming device will among other things come with the built-in GPS receiver, 3.2 MP camera with 16x digital zoom, 2.4″ QVGA screen, HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth, and the microSD expansion slot. All in all, very solid smartphone is heading to Vodafone — stay tuned for more details…
