05-08-2008: A new Samsung in the i-Series showed up for the first time today. The device may be placed in the business-like i-Series, the device still offers a large scala of multimedia functions.

The Samsung i7110 is a device that we haven't seen before in the rumours section and with this it is very distinctive that the device shows up in full glory today with very clear real-life photos. The i-Series of Samsung is known for its business and semi-business devices so it is quite strange that the Samsung i7110 takes another turn, the turn of multimedia.
The website KingMobile is the first to shoot some photos of the candybar. The photos are so clear that most details of the device can be read from them. The Samsung i7110 is an easy-to-use device that can be operated with an optical mouse. At first sight the navigation key looks like a regular key but when you touch it with your finger a mouse pointer will appear on the display. The display will probably be a 262.000 colours display with QVGA resolution.

The looks of the Samsung i7110 reveal that this is not a pure business device. The back of the candybar tells more about this, namely that it offers a 5 megapixel camera with flash. What kind of flash this will be is unknown so far although rumours state that it will be a Xenon flash. A musicplayer and expandable memory with MicroSD and TransFlash memorycards will be on board. How many MBs the internal memory will offer is unknown. Of course, bluetooth and a stereo FM radio will be there.

With her i7110 Samsung continues her Symbian range and with this a new and userfriendly device has been born. This isn't the only handy thing with Symbian, it also enables you to expand the software of the device with new programs. Whether the device will also have a GPS receiver is unknown so far, we do expect this though.
The Samsung i7110 hasn't been officially announced by Samsung yet, that's why we cannot say anything about the availability of the device yet. When more information is available Mobile Phone Helpdesk will keep you informed.
