Samsung's Giorgio Armani Smartphone

The much talked about Giorgio Armani phone from Samsung was finally announced by Samsung following the official release of Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.5 platform last week.

The announcement came in Italy, where the phone will be initially released. Incidentally, the phone was released by none other than Steve Ballmer who felt, the phone was "the most fashionable phone he's ever had a chance to talk about."

The new phone is only known as the Samsung Armani phone as Samsung hasn't given it a specific name. Hardware wise, the device is similar to existing WinMO phones from Samsung -- especially the W820 and the W8200. On the features front, it comes with a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen display, GPS, 5MP camera, 8GB of internal memory, MicroSD card slot, and a full QWERTY keyboard.





When released, the phone is expected to cost $1032 (approx. Rs. 47,913) which is the price you pay for owning Armani branded stuff. There is no word as to when the phone is expected to be released worldwide.
