The SCH-U710 appears to be Samsung’s answer to the LG 9800 & 9900. It is a flip phone that opens like a normal one but it also opens along the side as well.

I happen to find some pics of the upcoming Samsung SCH-U710.



Before the pics however, here is some of the info I've heard about this upcoming device...

The phone will have all the now standard bells & whistles (mircoSD, Bluetooth, EVDO, Speakerphone, Get It Now w/ Navigation, etc.).

It also has a full QWERTY keyboard when opened from the side (like the LG 9800 & 9900).

Now the BIG NEWS...

1. The phone has THEMES like the recent LG devices! No more Red Bars. This is the first time a recent non-LG phone has had this feature.

2. Bluetooth now sends ALL AUDIO to the connected device! This includes all BREW applications like VCast Videos and Music. And it sends the audio to ANY bluetooth device, not just stereo ones! Now you can watch and listen to VCast videos, play games, and everything else with a regular bluetooth headset. No need for a wired unit.

This might be the way things are going to be done going forward.

And now for the pics...
