innov8

By the looks of it we'll be seeing the Samsung INNOV8 in North America, as FCC has approved the most powerful S60-powered smartphone packing the U.S.-friendly 3G support. Presumably it will be 7.2Mbps HSDPA on 850/1900MHz bands.

The most probable carriers to get this one are either Rogers or AT&T, but the fact that the INNOV8 is coming to North America is itself outstanding.

Yesterday we've told you about the new Samsung i7710, and today several photos of it have leaked in the web. Apparently, the phone was included in the INNOV8 series.

Just to let you know that Expansys now has the ulocked Samsung i8510 INNOV8 in stock. If you're looking for a way to get rid of that darn excess of money, than I think the price tag of £534.99 ($988) won't scare you.

Gosh, that was fast! Several weeks after its first appearance, the Samsung i8510 INNOV8 has become available from Orange UK. It still has all those features we mentioned a while ago, and is available now at Mobile.co.uk for £free on an 18 month contract, plus you'll get a spare Nokia 1650 on pay as you go with a £10 credit.

Specifications:

• 8Mpix camera;
• Dual-band 7.
