Here are some more user photos from the Samsung i8510 camera, many thanks to our forum member Bigus for these sample photo’s. Great looking outdoor shots I must add, they look very much like a 8 mp digital camera took them. These were taken on the UK version of the phone on a final release firmware.

Here’s a look at a Samsung i8510 advert that has surfaced in the UK (Carphone warehouse?). Marked as the europes first 8 mega pixel camera phone. If this advert was from the carphone warehouse some much for their exclusive! It was out the same day on orange.

Word in that the Samsung i8510 Innov8 was released in Dubai, UAE a few days ago. But its rumoured to have a hefty price tag of USD $1200+

Cnet UK have reviewed the Samsung i8510 Innov8 and given it an impressive 8.9 out of 10! Not bad at all.

“Having not properly reviewed the Nokia N96 just yet, we don’t want to speak too soon and say the Samsung i8510 definitely wins out, but what we can say is this is Samsung’s best phone yet. A solid design combined with more features than you can shake a moose at, the i8510 genuinely took us by surprise.

We knew that the Samsung mobile team had it in them to make something great, but the i8510 is excellent and a worthy choice for any smartphone fans out there. We’d even go as far as to say that if you’re looking for something other than an N95 or N96, this is it.’”

Thanks Tejstar for the heads up!

Chinese website mobile Pconline has reviewed the Samsung i8510 and have tested the camera for its strengths and weaknesses. Both Marco, Daylight and night samples from the camera were taken. As you can see in daylight the camera is as good as a 8mp digital camera. Its weakness is in the night shots, without a xenon flash it blurs slightly.

The Inquirer has reported that the UK launch has been delayed, and they haven’t given us a new release date.

“ON A DAY that was supposed to herald in the arrival of the first 8MP camera in Blighty, news comes to The INQUIRER that it has been delayed.

We were informed the I8510, also known as Innov8 around the world would pitch up in the UK on Orange first and at a later date on O2, all exclusively for the first month with Carphone Warehouse. How this will change those time frames now the in-store date has been pushed back, no-one seems to know yet. We’ll just have to wait and see what develops.’”
