Samsung's i780 smartphone (pictured above) will be rebadged as the Samsung Epix when it's released by AT&T, according to leaked documentation obtained by The Boy Genius Report, and not the BlackJack III, as previously thought. The authentic-looking image describes an AT&T sales representative training event for the 3G handset on October 23rd, making a fourth quarter release seem quite likely. With a 320 x 320 pixel screen (up from QVGA), GPS, and Windows Mobile Professional 6.1, the spiritual sucessor to the BlackJack II is decently equipped, although it certainly doesn't rival such flagship models as the high-resolution HTC Touch Pro or Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. According to the Boy Genius, a price point of around $200 is expected, after the rebate associated with signing a contract.

If it is running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1, that would mean it has a touch screen. That wasn't called out so I thought I would.

Well, this has been a long time comin', hasn't it? We just got our grubby mitts on that much-debated Samsung Epix i907 and boy... it's thick! Counting out the AT&T Tilt, this is probably the thickest phone in their line-up. anne klein watches Now, you do get Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with a touch screen with Haptic feedback, a QWERTY 'board, optical mouse, 850MHz/1900MHz/2100MHz HSDPA and GPS. So, for some, mont blanc watches that might be enough of a reason to overlook the beast-like form of the Samsung Epix. We're highly disappointed with the screen in general as it looks extremely dated and pixelated - concord watches much like the Samsung Omnia. We haven't had much time to put the phone through our rigorous tests, so check out the unboxing shots in the meantime.
