"The 3.1in screen can display snaps captured using the rear-mounted 3Mp camera"
Damn... I've been looking for a phone which has a camera and a screen, but lacks the ability to display 'snaps'.
Or, without the sarcasm: No shit sherlock.
You could have written that 'it also sports a 3.1" screen and a 3MP camera' in half the space, thus saving my time spent reading the statement, in turn reducing the time I'm using my computer, in turn reducing my impact of the environment and thus would have saved all of the penguins!!
Have they heard of LG? The Viewty's UI is Flash based (and has been extensively customised by the community) so I would guess that the newer models in the same family (Secret?) are also Flash based.
It's bulky, slow and cumbersome to work with and, at least on the Viewty, was a long way off being describable as fluid...
as well as a clipboard and a high-speed method of connecting to the internet.
In what way is it iPhone-esque?
Also, isn't Flash one of those things that leads to some of the more gaping gaping holes in the other MS operating systems? And if so, isn't it a bad thing to base your OS around?

Doesn't even look like the phone's switched on. I can only assume these are stock photos provided by gigabyte. It's never a good omen when a company does something like this.
Unless of course, these were the only stock photos you could find by yourselves at time of press.
I've noticed a rather disturbing trend like this in the car industry recently. If the car looks like a pig, they photograph it in "dramatic" lighting levels so low you can barely make out the shape of the vehicle.
