Can anybody tell me why the L870 is nowhere found at the official Samsung Mobile site? What's the story behind it? If we want to register, or need to give the model number for any support it's not possible to define it.

It's a nice, solid, and really portable phone. But the battery life sucks, and even with carefull handling scratches will be seen in no time. And there is a software bug that shows the SOS shortcut at the right softkey after some heavy processor usage, like downloading. And pressing that softkey doesn't connect the phone to the emergency number, but to to the shortcut I've defined, profiles.

It,s a very basic Symbian phone, not free of defects, with a certain personality I like. And if you can live with the problems described, I can recommend it.

Is this normal that I have to reload almost every day, even when I use my L870 rarely

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-10-14 22:24 from 0xabI agree with you. I have the E66 and I have all kind of problem with it. So, this phone look like a good replacment for E66 Business phone. I love the S60 plat form this is only reason I have bought in past Nokia phone. Now Samsung start having L870 with S60 plat form. Any how today I bought the new Inov8 which great samsung phone. But I do not mind to buy the L870 if it become available. Again I am not sure it would be sold in USA or Asia.

It look like this phone is not real. No where selling or you can not see a full specification of this device any where?
