Marc, Samsung seem to have about zero web details on this phone, last time I looked their top news was about a washing machine. Symbian.com and S60.com also seem to be kept in the dark on this device.
Congrats to Rafe on finding out this much, and brickbats to Samsung for being too bashful.

Screen size is conventional 176x208 but with some extra realestate at top of the screen for some indicators. Screen is slightly larger than 2 inch diag. The phone is roughly same size as Samsung Z300 models...

Samsung has the worst web site for mobile phones in the world! They are number 3 for a reason other than having reasonable hardware, with good software and quality price ratio which is hard to beat..there webn site and info really sucks!

Yes this baby has Flash Lite. Samsung should invest more in S60 phones due to the wealth of available features which beats any other platform hands down.
