Samsung has released a i320 variant called i320n in Europe. Other than the slight change in appearance, there seems to be no difference in specs except for the following:
i320: GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz
i320n: GSM 800/1800/1900 MHz

Also, no wifi !! :(

Beats me why Samsung would shoot themselves in the foot by having a micro SD slot instead of a SD or mini SD. We can find mini SD wifi cards.

Does anyone know if there's anything such as a micro SD wifi card?? Arrghhh

Grrrr!! read people..the screen in 265K but microsoft windows mobile 5 doesn't allow more than 65K colors. Thats why it is 65K.

no need for 262k display as you hardly could tell the difference btw 65K and 262K colors. 65K is actually better cos it doesn't drain the battery as much.

Why on earth did Samsung only make a 65K display when so many of their newer models use a 262K display?! Otherwise, this is an awesome phone... even better than Nokia's version. Business men don't need a 16M color phone and they don't need more than 3 1/2 hours of talktime. That is more than enough and I would choose the samsung over the nokia anyday because a real true business man is on the move and portability is key. For 1/4th the size of the nokia in thinnest, and half the talktime, I would still go with the samsung.

yeah hot looks great! smaller than the Q actually. I'd def get it. And all this caca about samsung is copying moto: cut it out. They have like patent or design sharing deals, and that's why they produce similar stuff. Besides, all the hot phones are in Korea and they're all mad thin anyway... and yeah, I'd want all phones to be that thin, so uh, all companies, please "copy" the thin factor if you can

To the person poted below

Im not sure what you meant, but there are some facts that you need to know.

Samsung didn't came up with a razr type phone after several month. The fact is they have released it worldwide after several months.
Samsung Lunched that design as V740 in Korea on the same day as of Motorola RAZR and that time it had better specs than razr.
After an year an so we see that model coming up as D810 with a little bit of keypad modification and others. Check this link out.

The Fact is Samsung releases their phones in Korea First.And it takes long time for the rest of the world to know it.They are not copying motos design.

You are right, for a business phone wifi should be must and good battery life.Nokia has it..but its big and heavy..I assume business people dont mind to carry a big chunky phone. But after they see this small and light model they might change their mind and compromise on wifi.

E61 is running on Symbian, it supports 16M color. moto Q and i320 has Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 which doesn't support more than 65k color. The sceen is 256k actually.

Advantage of this hone is, its small and lighter, still has most of the features. Now its upto the people to choose.

Let's be fair here. Let not our judgements be blinded by Brand Loyalty. Looking at the capabilities and specification of the Samsung i320 and the Motorola Q. Samsung wins. The only thing that makes Moto Q to be percieved as a better than i320 is the looks which I agree.

In closing I believe that this phone has got a lot of advantages compared to its competitors.

Thats how a bar phone with QWERTY Keyboard looks like..remote comtrol or what ever you call it..unless you design somthing new.

Hope you post that same message in moto Q and nokia E61 as well.

@adil

since you have mentioned that this is a carbon copy of moto Q, then I wonder if you have noticed the keypad layout of moto Q. That is a trade mark of BlackBerry.

i320 doesn't look like any copy in my point of view.
