Samsung have featured in excess of a dozen new and tweaked handsets at the Mobile World Congress – including the U900 Soul, KF700, KF600 and KF510 sliders and the i900 smartphone – which is pretty much their line-up for the next six months, and frankly I’m losing the will to live trawling through them.  Still, there’s the occasional diamond among the dross, and one such gem is the G810; thankfully it’s looking a whole lot more attractive than the claylike mockup we last saw. 

Samsung have blessed the G810 with 3.6Mbps HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, face detection and onboard image editor, and a 2.6-inch screen.  Running the Symbian S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 1, it will be available in Europe come March 2008, and be a direct competitor to Nokia’s freshly announced N96.

The gang over at the ever-reliable Mobile-Review have put together a preview of the SGH-G810 with more screenshots and tidbits than you could shake a cellular stick at; this looks to be a very interesting phone indeed!
