Samsung has been known to make great sliders and this one is no exception. The design is mindblowing and the navigation keys are super. The samsung fans can now enjoy a symbian phone which is open to many third party applications unlike its predecesors. Im pretty sure that Samsung is all set to bounce back with this device.

My Verdict : 8.2/10 (Style & Design)
