Samsung L870Roughly a month ago we posted about six upcoming Samsung phones. One of the devices mentioned was the L870 smartphone, and now, thanks to the Mobile.cz, we have more details to report about that particular device.

The upcoming handset looks kinda familiar making us think this is the first Soul smartphone. To be fair, I don’t see a haptic-feedback display at the bottom of the device, but other than that, there are quite a few similarities. The L870 will run Symbian 9.3 with S60 3.2 (Feature pack 2) on top of it. Other specs include tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900), 2100 UMTS, 3.6Mbs HSDPA connectivity, 2.3-inch 260K color screen, 3 megapixel camera for taking photos and front VGA camera for video calls, FM radio with RDS, Bluetooth, and of course microSD memory slot. No word on WiFi nor GPS.

As for the release date, Samsung will reportedly officially announce the device during Communic Asia on June 17th in Singapore. Stay tuned as we uncover more…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
