Vodafone recently announced its upcoming range of Christmas phones. As well as the Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia 6120 and Samsung i450 another S60 phone, the Samsung i560, is mentioned. The specifications show that the i560 has a slider form factor, a 2.4 inch screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera, an integrated GPS and HSDPA connectivity. This suggest that the i560 may be a slider version of the Samsung i550. Read on for more.

Specification Summary: 

  • S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (with the Vodafone add-on pack)
  • Slider form factor
  • HSDPA (3G) connectivity

Hopefully it hasn't inherited the looks of the i550

I'm more interested in the i570 but the question with all of these Samsung S60 devices will they ever get a full release?
Rafe
Yeah, I'm trying to find out more.

It seems reasonable though that this phone at least is going to be available through Vodafone.

Looks like 450. 550, 560 are all go, whle 570 has disappeared. You can blame the demise of 570 on similar form-factor offerings from samsung, but with microsoft os. How many new, expensive smartpohones can one carrier support at the same time? Not enough to launch all 4 variants, it seems...
