Nope, no TV cable nor In car charger in the package.

is a superb phone indeed for Symbians lover

if it is a touch screen, it will kill its own brother Omnia. now why samsung want that?

Interested in 8mp phone like this, is this the only phone in market with such feature?

Is this phone selling already here or you guys buy mod overseas set? Where to buy?

The problem is more like it is Symbian S60 based and Samsung do not have its own S60-baded touch interface unlike Nokia who recently developed one for its own products. The FP2 variant on INNOV8 is too cramped to be used as a touch phone.

Just curious, this seems to be the best non touch screen phone on the market now (based on reviews I've read).

But why it is not popular in Malaysia? Or compare to Omnia / C905?

erm.. its already available in the market now.


true.. but then if this were a touch screen phone, it will kill its own omnia. thats y i say, why wud samsung want that? if the price were the same and both omnia and innov8 were touch screen, which one will u buy? besides, since nokia has developed this S60 5th edition, samsung can have that same OS, only thing is... the price that they have to pay.

simple. one sentence. it is samsung.

more detailed explanation why its not popular. most of the consumer knows that samsung's phone doesnt have high second hand value, hence lesser demand compare to nokia. if nokia come out the same stuff like this and higher price (lets say 3k and above), i know it is still sellable. because, it is nokia. its the branding. oh yeah, the other reason why is... there is no AP set. u shud know how malaysian dont want to pay extra for reliability, eg. malaysian rather do double parking and obstruct the road when there is a car park centre that cost only RM2 for the 1st hour.

same thing goes to SE. why people buy SE later after launch rather than initial launch? Because SE depreciate way faster than nokia. but this time is mindset.

if were to compare with Omnia, basically both are has their own market. Innov8 is more towards to market where consumer wants a phone with high quality camera (among cameraphone) and other neccesary feature in high end phone (gps,wifi,large screen). while Omnia was tounted to take on iPhone with its TouchWiz interface. both since both its smartphone/pda categories, its only depending on what you really want; a touch screen phone or feature packed high end phone.

and compare with C905? different league. One is smartphone and the other is featured phone. no doubt both features more or less the same spec, but C905 is not flexible enough to do more than what Innov8 can do. just take the easiest topic, GPS. Innov8 supports Garmin(or other GPS software) installation while C905 stuck with googlemap (for the time being). so logically, C905 burns ur money more than Innov8 due to downloading maps from HSDPA. but then, if you are fine with normal phone for its simplicity yet full featured, C905 wud be a better bet.

dilemma here guys , i've got a choice between nokia n85 or the Samsung INNOV8 (i8510) in exchange for my (crappy) C905.

GPS is the most important function for me, so which should I go for ?

EDIT: would also like to know how the battery life fairs. Maddies over here said the samsung could only last 2 days under normal use.

^ what u expect from a powerful symbian OS phone? 2day is good for that monster spec; 3days usage is a bonus.. but when u use GPS, you cant even last more than 5hrs and prepare to buy a in car charger..

u want battery life? get a dedicated GPS unit and those normal nokia phone that can last for like 1 weeks down the road. or philip's phone that has 1 month standby.

but if i am in ur same dilemma.. i will choose innov8 without 2nd thought. and that is me. ur money, ur call. go and test the phone and make up ur mind.

okay, decision made.

Just placed an order for this boy

Nice..I had this weird dream that i was using Innov8 the current price that I get here in Penang is RM 2680 and RM 2650 for Omnia and both are 8GB sets, how much are you getting it for Corad?

I've been staying away from malls these past few weeks, afraid i might just plump into getting this phone..and I've been using SE for aaages, I wouldnt think twice to get this phone infact my mind is made up to get this just that financially its tight at the moment

was it a nice dream ?

i got mine for RM2044 8GB set.

Yea..Penang phone price is always higher compare to KL. U can see many stalls inside the same mall but act they r under the same boss. zz.. Thats y their price is same(high).

wow! that is freakin' cheap compared to the price that i get it here in Penang? where'd you get it from?

I always thought the price between KL and Penang shouldnt be different by much but by 600?? damn!

bought it through ebay uk

surprised to find tech stuff being cheaper here than malaysia

u hav to know... they dont have hefty taxes like malaysia. when u said its rm2k++.. i know its oversea set, but not sure where.

good buy though.

they do have Value Added Tax (VAT) tho .. like aust have GST

anyway.. will write more when it arrives, either today or tomorrow.

damn i jealous....

teng teng teng !



noticed no owners list on front page ...

Thread seems to be dead for one of the best phones available now, eh?
