Samsung i8910 HD now available in the UKThose living in the UK will be able to get the Samsung i8910 HD, aka the Omnia HD. The Symbian S60-powered device is a reasonable £97.50 on a £35 monthly plan.

That sounds like a bargain since some features include: a 3.7″ capacitive touchscreen at 640 x 360 resolution display, an 8-megapixel camera and a modified TouchWiz 3D implementation that works in the S60 environment. That’s some good value for money. We don’t often get such good value in the states.

Samsung's SCH-W760 features night vision camThe new SCH-W760 looks like a typical midrange slider. It sports a 3 megapixel camera, DMB reception, Bluetooth, and a 2.8-inch AMOLED display. In other words, the usual. It does feature at least one very interesting feature, though.

That would be a front cam sensitive to the infrared spectrum so that you can hold grayscale video calls in complete darkness. Great for faking ghosthunters type scenes and making your own Blair Witch footage. We have no idea why.
