No this wont, it does not take sim cards, works on a different technology,

Although does any one know of a sim card based model coming to the UK, or a samsund that is already available that this is modeled on

How does this compare to the Ocean. Will the Ocean ever be upgraded.

Thank you,

Yeah, the Fin does include stereo Bluetooth support.

About the music player — it all depends on what you are comparing the music player to. Sure it may seem crappy compared to Zunes, Zens and iPods, but this is an all-in-one device that does so much more. Personally, it’s not bad for how much this device is able to do.

Thanks for the kind words about the (Samsung) Helio Fin BG. Glad to see Samsung to speed things up compared to the Ocean

Does it support A2DP? Looks like it has the same old crappy Samsung music player…

Barlgh! No flash? A 3mp camera with no flash? Lordy. I really don’t get it. Ever use an SE k790a? It’s got an actual xenon flash on it and, well, it’s almost like using an actual camera. Why can’t they put flashes on these things? Is it that hard?

Thanks for the review … so fast after the phone came out!

is the video playback better/quality/smoother than on the ocean? the ocean video playback is lacking to say the least…

Thank you!

How is the quality of the pictures? Are the printable? Also since there is no flash, there is a night mode which is suppose to slow the shutter speed to let more light in. Does it work?

Dangit, I’m gonna have to change my BG name.

Short review. Not bad, still doesn’t spark an outstanding interest in the device.

Shut the hell up jj, that was a very good review and it got the job done. Go to some grammar site if you want to correct people’s english.
