Hands-on with Samsung's Gleam, Armani, Serenata, i550, plus a video tour of the 5-megapixel G800.
At a recent Samsung event, I had the opportunity to get some hands-on time with a few of Samsung's new flagship phones for Europe. The interesting ones are all tri-band GSM models we wouldn't really recommend for use in the US (though the adventurous could use them with T-Mobile). However, each is a very interesting flagship phone that may make its way to US shores in a different incarnation at some point. At the very least, they show the direction Samsung is heading with some of its designs and technology.

The Gleam still looks like a Samsung phone. I understand the need for a distinct form and style for a phone, but I am not a fan of the Samsung style. Beyond that the Armani looks the sexiest an...
