samsung-b7620The Samsung B7620, branded as the Armani 2, is on the way to Europe according to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, who, as it turns out, tweets new devices pretty regularly. Here are the specs that have been submitted to them:

Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 800 MHz processor; dedicated graphics, SMS, MMS, Email, RSS, IM, WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML, Stereo FM radio with RDS, A-GPS support, Business card scanner, Work & Life mode, MP3/WAV/e-AAC+/WMA/AMR player, DivX/XviD/MPEG4/3gp/H.263/H.264 player, Photo/video editor, Pocket Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF viewer)

There’s still no picture, though it’s rumoured that it will have a slide-out QWERTY keypad and have a gold/leather finish, possibly rehashing the Omnia Pro. The last Armani phone we saw was a little plain, but this one sounds like it’ll be able to rock some high-end smartphone functions as well as luxury-class style.
