We heard about it 4 days ago and Samsung has just made it official. Samsung will be launching the F839 handset in China. This handset has: a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, a 3MP camera, GPS / Bluetooth 2.0 support, 100MB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, an FM radio, Office docs support, DivX video playback, and a 1,000mAh battery. This handset also comes with 3G bands and is set to launch on China Telecom pretty soon. Unfortunately, the price hasn't been mentioned yet, but it shouldn't cost a whole lot.

I can actually confirm that this is true since I went to a Future Shop this morning and saw this before I read this article. Anyways, even though Rogers just launched the BlackBerry Curve 8520 yesterday, it's now available for $49.99 CAD on a 2-year contract - this sale ends on October 15th. I tested out this smartphone today and noticed that the QWERTY keyboard buttons are stiffer than the Bold and the Curve 8900, but maybe it's just cause I was using the dummy unit...
