Okay, well thank you anyway...in my opinion, I just find multimedia capabilities more important than connectivity

carcomptoy,the multimedia capabilities can be enhanced by third party software,and most likely will,because the hardware is there.

Well, I guess...but the thing is, I'm trying to weigh out the pros and cons so I can decide between the Samsung D710 and the Nokia 7610. So far, the Nokia's winning with the Movie Director feature and the definite inclusion of Bluetooth, as well as smaller size...

NO BLUETOOTH.... NOT GOOD. IF ONLY WE HAVE THE LOOK OF D710 BUT WITH THE SENDO SPECS I;D BE WELL HAPPY

Well, is there a possibility that Samsung didn't include Bluetooth on the prototypes so as to prevent any damage to them from information sent through the feature?

But it isn't listed in the features as well. And with MS Smartphone from samsung (i250) bluetooth was listed as a feature...

well if there is no bluetooth, then its a choice between the sendo or 7610 which ever comes out first but i still cant decide oh to be rich and have them all

I find it difficult to believe they would leave bluetooth out.

I recall a while back somebody said it was part of the s60/symbian os standard...

That's stupidity 😊

Can't wait to see a full features list.

"The Samsung D710 was a bit of a hog. See our evaluation in the Samsung review for physical descriptions. The one thing not mentioned below is the fact that the camera application is SLOW on that device. After taking a picture the Samsung said �please wait 15 seconds,� which already sounded absurd, but when it actually took about 20 before we could do anything else, we just put the phone back down. And *this* was the long awaited successor to the D700, a phone that was delayed so long they simply scrapped it? SAD."

"Finally, Samsung has launched the D710 (pictured at right), the successor to their never-released D700 Series 60 smartphone. The phone looks and feels like a Samsung version of Nokia�s 7650 (the original Series 60 phone), but improves the resolution of the camera to a megapixel and is the first phone I�ve ever used with a slide-out keypad where the keys were actually comfortable and easy to press. The only problem is that like the 7650, the D710 is a little too thick - at least for our tastes, but the spring-loaded slide is sure to get some ooohs and aaahs when you take it out of your pocket."

"Though Siemens didn�t really have any new smartphones, they showed off a limited edition glossy black �McLaren� SX-1. "
