Samsung i8520 Beam

Specs: The Samsung i8520 sports a 3.7-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, 8-megapixel camera (720p / 30fps video recording), front-facing VGA camera, 3G data, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 3.5mm headphone jack, and of course the integrated DLP pico projector. It runs Android OS 2.1, which is awesome, but it runs Samsung’s TouchWIZ UI, which might turn some people away..

Stunning.
See all your media clearer and sharper. A Super AMOLED display on the Samsung i8520 Beam delivers an unrivaled screen experience on a smartphone. The Super AMOLED offers much brighter, clearer, and less reflective AMOLED OnCell display, featuring a high resolution WVGA (800x480 pixels)screen.

Big Screen.
See everything bigger, with the built in projector. Bring your movie to life and share them with other, simply point the Beam at a blank wall and watch. Built in loudspeakers bring big sound, so you can accompany your movies with clear sound.

TouchWiz.
Make your phone your own, with a fully customisable TouchWiz interface and home screen. Connect to your favourite social networking sites, get instant access to Twitter or keep on top of FaceBook updates. For those who love music, the device home-page can be turned into an intuitive media player; while for those who take and share a lot of photos, the home page can be customised to feature favourite images.

Android.
The powerful and flexible Android OS brings a new world of applications to your fingertips. Included with the phone is the full suite of Google mobile services, everything you need to stay in touch.
