Following up on Dusan’s post about the announcement of the Samsung i8510 (“INNOV8″), with 8MP camera, the uber-imaging device has now hit UK shores!
There are an extremely impressive set of specs (as you can see above), and Carphone Warehouse is offering the device on the Orange network with a £35/month Tariff over 18 months, giving the device for free!
This is one cameraphone we might have to try and get hold off, to see if those 8 Megapixels actually do deliver great images – for now though, you can find the official Carphone Warehouse page for the i8510 here.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.

ROFL…. I feel for you Zak
nonetheless I ordered mine today from the carphone warehouse
I opted for the 16GB version. I called the cancellation line to inform them that I wanted to stop being on O2 and move to Orange. The guy goes to me that if I wait he can talk to his manager and come back tom me and bring me an offer that’ll match Orange.
Basically I got to stay on the same network with a renewed 18month contract for £35/month and free internet when I got an extra 8GB microSD card for £20….
I’M GETTING IT ON TUESDAY!!
suzie

O2 have offered a better contract if I go direct with them, but they haven’t got the phone yet…….
