We did recommend Samsung i550 for great bang-for-buck. Now we see two of its most obvious problems addressed in the i7110 - the lack of a dedicated camera key and the simple modest looks. There is however a new problem - the poor soft key ergonomics might turn out quite a deal-breaker if things don't improve in the retail version.

Leaving that aside though, the handset performs admirably in almost every aspect of its lengthy spec sheet. It cannot match the INNOV8 power but it was never meant to. Samsung i7110 will be luring potential buyers with the sweet blend between Soul elegance and smartphone-grade multimedia skill. As far as our first impressions go - it is quite up to the task.
