Samsung i8910 HD Hits the UK, Thanks to Orange

The phone that was once the Samsung OmniaHD has just launched on Orange UK. The Samsung i8910 HD codenamed "Acme" is pretty dynamite. It has: a 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen capacitive display with a 640 x 360 resolution, an 8MP camera, HSUPA connectivity, and will run on S60 with a bit of Samsung's own TouchWiz 3D UI. Surprisingly enough, this phone has launched for just £97.50 ($151 USD) with a £35 monthly plan. I say that it's surprising because it seems like such a low price for this amazing phone.

This handset would definitely be at the top my list if it had a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. This handset, in my opinion, is in the running for one of the best full touchscreen phones of 2009. Put the Viewty Smart up there also.
