"Remember that 8GB Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone from Samsung, the SGH-i310? Oh, it exists alright, and it's hot. That's a real live scroll-wheel in the center (unlike other phones we've seen), and it actually feels just about right even though it's mechanical, and not touch sensitive."

Some nice pictures of this phone for your consideration. It has that Samsung solid look to it. I'm no big fan of musical phones but this thing sure looks good.

I would like to see that scroll wheel in other Smartphones. Come on HTC, what are you waiting for?

Scanning the email inbox and scrolling a web page will be so much fun.

I think it's pretty sad that Windows Mobile is really just one manufacturer. Sure there are a couple others, but the majority of devices come from one place. And when that vendor doesn't implement the simplest feature, everyone feels it. <sigh>

The scroll wheel would be a welcome navigation tool.

I have had my T-Mobile SDA for almost two weeks and I am getting used to the small buttons and D-Pad but I sure miss the 5 way jog dial on my p800.
