SPOTTED: SAMSUNG B5100 S60-BASED PHONE

Like Nokia, Samsung is known for coming out with S60-powered cell phones every few months. Their latest is the B5100, which is almost identical to the 5-megapixel Samsung i7110. The new B5100 will be replacing the older Samsung Omnia HD. Apart from being aesthetically almost identical to the i7110, the B5100 still comes with WiFi, HDSPa, GPS, Bluetooth, and runs on the well-known S60 platform. Some differences include a few less megapixels; the B5100 has a modest 3-megapixel camera with LED flash. The phone also features a QVGA display and supports DivX playback as well. The modest candybar phone looks to be made of metal, and along with the above mentioned features, also has a microSD card slot.

While there is still no official word on when the Samsung B5100 will become available, many are speculating that the price may be very similar to the price range of the i7110.
