The powerful Samsung i8510

The Samsung i8510 is a slide phone with a staggering 8.0 Megapixel camera with auto focus, flash, face detection, blink detection and it can also record video. The features for the i8510 don't stop there; HSDPA and Wi-Fi for fast web browsing, Bluetooth v2.0, built in GPS for SatNav software, 8GB internal memory and an MP3 player are all included.

This powerful device includes:
- An 8MP camera - a first for the mobile market, and a first on Symbian OS.
- Demand paging - an OS component which enables shorter start-up times for applications.
- Advanced memory management which results in more responsive applications and phone
features.
- The "cinema in your pocket" experience through access to a rich suite of applications from the S60 applications library.
- HSDPA connectivity at 7.2Mbps and seamless connection through Wi-Fi. An optical mouse and easy navigation enable quick internet browsing, alongside GPS and geo-tagging.

Touch-sensitive navigation pad is fiddly to use at times; lack of xenon flash on the camera; screen could be sharper. Samsung has taken us by surprise by creating an excellent handset that feels like it could have been made by Nokia. If you're looking for a high-end handset with almost every feature currently available -- and then some -- the i8510 is the phone for you.
