I tried to find this phone but does not seem available in UK at the moment.

If anyone finds it available, I would also like to know.

hi
its not been made available in the uk in the near future i have had a e-mail back from samsung and the one in america wont work in europe as its cda based but it is triband.

That is true, the one in the US is the SCH-i700, which is CDMA based, and it is triband, but not the triband you think of. It is 800-MHz Analog, 800 MHZ CDMA, and 1900 MHZ CDMA. Nothing in common :wink:

A GSM version is coming up, it is called the SGH-i700. It is identical to the CDMA version except for the radio, and for the download speed (CDMA is faster)

The issue is, with GSM handsets, they must go into retail via carriers, and that sometimes make the device unavailable in the market for many months after being released by manufacturers. But with esatblished handset ODMs, many retails take the chance on them and buy directly from manufacturers, as it is the case with Nokia and Ericsson.

Given that sasung is aslo an established ODM, I do think availabilty outside carrier's offering won't be an issue, and it won't be late either.

I am just crossing my fingers for that!

By the way, maybe you want to consider the following devices too:
P700 by Etencorp: http://www.etencorp.com
ET180 from Legend Computers: http://www.legend.com.cn
