Samsung is out with the second Armani phone. Unlike the original device which relied almost exclusively on a touchscreen, the Armani M75500 Night Effect is a candybar-shaped device with regular numeric keypad. The design of the device is quite simplistic, yet elegant as I’m sure you can see from the image above. The large “Emporio Armani” branding is there to remind everyone around you this isn’t a regular phone, but an Armani-approved device.
Specs wise, the Samsung Armani 2 sports a 2.2-inch AMOLED screen, 3.2 megapixel camera without flash (why?), FM radio, Bluetooth, HSDPA support, dedicated music control keys, and 120MB of memory that is further expandable with microSD cards.
Emporio Armani Samsung M75500 Night Effect is set to hit Europe in November, while South East Asia and Middle East sales will follow soon after. Not exact pricing is known at this stage, but some sources suggest the device will is retail for around 300 EUR.

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.
