Amazing product, probably will reach around 700-800$+ U$D. Interestingly enough it is EDGE capable, which as far as I know only Cingular/AT&T uses (in the US) so we might see it here too? I’m also surprised it can playback H.264 content. Disappointed somehow REAL networks got its crap mixed in with it(mp3,video), no wmv support.

What does the iPhone have to do with this product. This is a great product and far superior. This must have been in development for some time. Break free of the RDF.

Looks nice. But why does it take a computer company to kick the butt of the mobile phone giants to get them to produce products they already had? I mean, they (meaning Samsung, Motorola, Sony etc) have decades of production experience in mobile phones, which to be honest have not really changed in all that time. Apple, “the little computer company that does!” has called the phone giants bluff and forced them into releasing products they were holding back on! I’ll buy an Apple iPhone purely because it’s not from a profiteering phone giant who’s been sitting on the technology because, hey! Why give people more, when you can get the same amount of money out of them for a phone that does nothing but has a pretty case! Thanks Steve Jobs you’re the man!!!!

Couldn’t they be more obvious as to from where they took the design of their “ultra smart” phone from, oh yea! from iPhone! hmm…many MP3 player manufacturer’s tried to look similar to IPod and iPod is still the largest share holder in music player market.
the OS. How can Samsung can even begin to challenge the company that brought to us personal computers and the first OS? iPhone has the world’s best OS – Tiger OS X
In conclusion, just so that I won’t be viewed as some Samsung hater, I want to say that I’ve been Samsung costumer ever since I got my first cellphone at the age of 15 (I’m 21 now) and I never traded it for any other company casue I always viewed them as inovators not imitators as I’ve just found out. It is time for a change and iPhone I can’t wait for you!
FYI: it is more importan what kind of driver (OS) is in the car than a car(Hardware) itself (metaphor)

Well, I give you our Japanese Apple Store in exchange of Samsung, LG, and All these PMP/Mp3 manufacturer !

If this is all the “Korean GOD” has to offer I guess it’s all gone to hell in a handbasket for Korean cell makers, who by the way are fast losing market share to world Number 1 and 2 Nokia and Motorola.

The fact that this 700 clunker is ready to showcase simply shows that lame imitations are much easier to knock off in a hurry than the real thing. Its interface looks like something out of 1992. iPhone killer? LOL. About as much as Samsung’s lame Yepp was an iPod killer (read, Not even close technologically). Samsung doesn’t even have Multi-touch or that supercool touchscroll. iPhone is SICK and the big boys at Samdung just got left in the dust again.

Maczealot scumbags like “Roman” and “Biko” would buy even a turd with a Apple logo on it.

Forget all the B.S it has 5 mega pix, a keyboard, and more. But will Sprint or any other carrier have this phone I’m sick and tired of Cingular and T-Mobile getting all the cool phones.

Sigh, Look at the f700′s UI. Of COURSE Samsung could put that thing out in a month, who couldn’t? It’s all very old hat. Samsung have again missed the obvious point, that the handset revolution is now about software and UI, not the same hardware that everyone and their dogs are able to license, slap together, and trot out as something ‘new’.

Check the iPhone keynote http://www.apple.com/iphone/ and honestly tell me without smiling that Samsung has an “iPhone killer”. See the UI? It’s like comparing 1999 to 2012.

Apple in trouble? Hardly. The day the iPhone was showcased Apple shares shot up almost 10% (while Samsung lost about 2%, one of their biggest ever daily drops). If Samsung, a big boy in the handset market for years, is forced to play catch up with Apple’s FIRST ever phone offering it just goes to show that their lack of real innovation has finally caught up with them.

Biko, I know sammy’s mp3 players had been sucking all the way. And I totally agree that IPhone’s UI’s innovative. But the thing is.. Samsung have made handsets for years, and Sammy’s losing shares in the market is mostly due to Nokia and Moto’s low-end handsets. Actually Sony Erricson’s walkman handsets are in danger because of the IPhone. Samsung have not had good share in smartphone market either, so this move by Sammy is to get into a new market. Plus, we don’t know much about what kind of OS Sammy’s F700 use yet. I’m sure IPhone will sell much more than this one. This is not gonna be a “IPhone Killa”, But Samsung’s getting into every markets available and their products are getting better in every areas. This is what Sammy’s good at. (Sammy’s main interests are in semiconductor market, though.)

Sigh, I agree this trend will likely benefit Samsung’s semiconductor biz, but I’m not sure how long the good times will last. Intel, Toshiba, TI and other heavyweights are getting heavy into flash production too and this is a big worry for Samsung. It seems Intel flash is already in iPhone along with a Marvell (Intel-based) xscale chip. Broadcomm also has one in there. Hmmm, these will probably all be one company in 15 years anyway

Interesting converter about the iPhone and its development here:

I think than the iPhone is an Entirely Different Revolution.

Somebody can explain me if the lack of WIFI is important , this F 700 will be use
principally in Israel , Europe and Canada for Internet, Email and phone.
my decision will be between the F700 -F520 or htc Kaiser P4550
Tanks in advance

For all of you Samsung fanboys, a little bit of fact:

The best selling cell phone of all time is the Motorola RAZR, Which is recently went over the 50 million mark. The iPhone sold more in its first three days than the RAZR sold in a month. This occured even though it’s in 1 country, offered by 1 carrier, and is sold with subventions. It’s going to be much bigger than the F700. The F700 offers nothing new in the way of features or even form factor: there are many PDA phones with slide-out keyboards and touch screens on the market. The difference between the iPhone and the F700 is the software. When you finally realize this, then you’ll see that this is what separates the iPhone from the F700, and that’s precisely why the F700 won’t be able to compete against the iPhone as well as you would like to believe. The fact that the iPhone’s software is a variant of the very stable and secure OS X, and not the insecure, easily hackable Flash Mobile (like the F700), and can be easily upgradeable via iTunes already makes it a much better phone than the F700

itunes sucks some hairy balls

whats with all the hating. Does it really matter which phone is better. Does any one other then the manufactures benefit from who’s phone is better. Quit crying and cursing. Buy the phone you like and go on about your business. Liveing in the U.S. has really warped our sense of what is important. I mean we are talking smack about “my phone is better than yours” Can’t we all just get along……. Let there be peace among phone owners.

Time line of Operating Systems for the genius that thinks Apple invented everything.

Alright I guess I feel a bit obligated to respond to such a retarded claim by Samsung. By the way, I am currently posting this from my iphone, fuckers.

I must be honest however, it was inspiring and humorous to view the comments of this article.

Back to the point, something very critical for most of the people reading this article to understand is that technolegy isn\’t a race to make the most money.

The race for the best everything has been Apple this entire time. Innovation is what leads them. Not deciding to make a half-assed product and sell it to a bunch of idiots. Apple made such a damn good phone because they wanted to be innovative. They made the most original phone ever, and just like Mac or iPod, they made the best product out there.

Then Samsung comes around and puts what everyone expects out there, the only thing they and their followers have been able to do, put a cheap and unoriginal device that plays on the already wattered-down product line of theirs.

@Sebhelyesfarku: You must be the most retarded fucking idiot I have ever met. You honestly need to grow up.

You are either poor as fuck or just a sad loser with no ability to get the phone

Fuck off Sean ya dumbass redneck and stop suckin Jobs’ dick, asswipe.

WOULD IT COME OUT ON SPRINT

A friend of mine has given me the Idea about it, and I am waiting to get hold of one.
Nokia e90 as well a great tool of course without the touchscreen but is fantastic in terms of communication.

This phone is wack. wow!

I mean all this new technology Apple has developed! It’s as if you believe this was all invented in Apple Laboratories and not MIT.

I quote an iPhone customer “Why’re you buying an iPhone?” – “Because it’s just so cool!”

When you buy an iPhone you’re buying a designer status, an IMAGE, you’re looking for the attention of others, you argue to defend your investment in your image, this media directed world of ours accepts that, you hunger to be apart of the hype of the ‘coolness’ the media has created, and you thought you made your own mind up. ‘sif.

You’re all sheep. Even Apple’s opposition. Competition’s healthly development and creates media airtime for the topic, effectively, worldwide free advertisement. Argue away and feed the corporations, fuckers.

- anti any fanboy

I\’ve had mine for 1 week. The touchscreen doesn\’t work reliably. Often a button doesn\’t respond at all or it even activates an item below it. Has a built-in camera in front so I can see myself going AAARGH!!!

Nah. Either you do the touchscreen thing properly or not at all.

Hmmm… I highly doubt this phone is coming to the US. The only carrier with HSDPA is ATT and they barely have that off the ground. And the US isn’t ready for a phone with 5MP.Looks like a cool phone but from the pics, the OS does look a little dated and bland. Yes, Apple did create a killer product with the iPhone but most users of the phone only get it “because it’s cool.” And after reading the comments, I also find it funny that people think the Steve Jobs created everything technology related. Some people need to do a little more research before they post these comments. Steve Jobs has a way of taking things that have already been created and changing them and making them appealing to the masses and making them popular where the techies and nerds already new about the crap years before. He’s a master of recreation and innovation in the sense that he knows how to market things and make them popular with the media with the good name he’s created from Apple to back him.

i will the phone ö
