INNOV8tion looks to run in the veins of this latest Samsung phone. In this review, we looked at the Samsung INNOV8 (pronounced "innovate") GT-i8510 that is designed for the tech-savvy users who want to enjoy superb multimedia entertainment with their mobile phones. Powered by Symbian S60 operating system which is commonly found in Nokia phones, it led us to believe that the manufacturer created this phone to compete head on with the Nokia N-series. And it may well be fitting for the competition too.

This 8-megapixel slide phone has lots to offer - a huge 8GB or 16GB onboard flash memory (our review unit is the 16GB version), pre-embedded 3D games, high speed data connections, top of the range camera technologies, cinematic video experience with surround sound etc.

Here is a brief overview of the phone's specifications:
