We've been hearing about the Samsung i8330 for about half a year now and it has yet to hit the market. Maybe it'll be announced soon though. The handset destined for Vodafone has leaked once again in between the iPhone 4 and the BlackBerry Torch. This is expected to have a Super AMOLED display, an 8MP camera with 720p HD video recording capabilities, a 1GHz CPU, WiFi 802.11n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, and the LiMo OS. This one should make an appearance at CES this week or at MWC next month.

Confirming what we kind of knew before, more specs, pictures and videos regarding the Vodafone Samsung I8330 has just leaked out. This LiMo R3-based smartphone packs a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED WVGA display (480 x 800 resolution), an 8MP AF camera with an LED flash and 720p HD video recording, a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU (same as the Galaxy S), 3G / WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, and access to Vodafone 360. The launch is coming in the very near future, so look out for it.

Two weeks ago we heard about Vodafone launching the LiMo-based Samsung I8330 H2 handset. What you see above is apparently the first set of leaked photos of the handset. Sadly, all that we have are pictures right now so the rumoured spec sheet isn't confirmed. The rumours state that this handset will have a 1GHz CPU, an 8MP camera, Bluetooth / WiFi support, GPS / HSDPA connectivity, and Vodafone's own 360 service. Samsung Hub suggests that the announcement for this handset could be coming soon since this handset is scheduled to be launched for the FIFA World Cup.

Some carriers and manufacturers just won't give up on LiMo. It has just been announced that four top global carriers will be launching phones based on LiMo by the end of this year. This includes Orange, Telefonica (O2 / Movistar), Verizon, and SK Telecom. Of course, we don't know if they'll all get the same phone or one for each carrier so we'll have to wait. We'll be keeping an eye on this one - just a bit.

Although there's no picture yet, there's a new rumour going around that Vodafone will be getting the Samsung I8330 handset in the future. This phone will be running LiMo and will be launched just in time for the FIFA World Cup. It's said to feature a touchscreen display, a 1GHz CPU, an 8MP camera, GPS / WiFi / Bluetooth support, HSDPA connectivity, and the LiMo R3 OS. Sounds like a good phone to me, but we'll have to see what it looks like first because we don't want a phone that's ugly.
