We like:
GPS; HSDPA; Wi-Fi; 16GB on-board memory; 8-megapixel camera with cool panorama mode
We don't like:
Touch-sensitive navigation pad is fiddly to use at times; lack of xenon flash on the camera; screen could be sharper
CNET UK judgement:
Samsung has taken us by surprise by creating an excellent handset that feels like it could have been made by Nokia. If you're looking for a high-end handset with almost every feature currently available -- and then some -- the i8510 is the phone for you
