Samsung SGH-P520 Confirmed
Samsung’s SGH-P520 uniquely utilizes a touchscreen to navigate the GUI, instead of a boring old keyboard. With a sleek design, 2.6 inch 320 x 240 resolution LCD, GSM / EDGE connectivity, a 3 megapixel camera, a microSD card slot, 50 mb of internal memory, and WiFi, you can expect the SGH-P520 to be a big hit. Sadly, there is no word on pricing or launch date, yet.
