Its the handset that the Coyote of Roadrunner fame would be using. after all, he always had a thing for Acme products. which brings us to the Acme i8910 handset. I have no idea why Samsung would want to name this handset as the Acme i8910 ; but whatever the name may suggest , fact is that this seems to have the makings of a great cell phone. Samsung hasnt come up with an official announcement about this beauty yet, and the news has been leakied onto the blogosphere as is so often the case.
The styling definitely seems to be on the lines of the well received Samsung Omnia. The Acme just like the iPhone is due to appear in two versions ; a 8 GB one and another 16 GB one. However a 8 megapixel camera integrated into the handset should quickly put to rest any fears of this being a iPhone clone.
Features include GPS, HDMI, WiFi, 3.5mm socket, is DNLA and DivX compatible and offers HD recording. Now go back again and read the DivX compatibility part - its probably the best thing to happen to cell phones since touch screens. And to think that only a few years back, manufacturers such as Nokia were reluctant to allow users to have MP3 libraries on their phones for fears of piracy lawsuits. We sure have come a long way since then. This handset should be a good case in point for those who thought that Symbian S60 was dead ; this baby runs the latest edition of Symbian (5th edition) and does it stunningly well at that!
We will get you more details as well has better pictures once Samsung makes the official announcement.
Thanks to Patrick for the tip!
