Dr-R,
Yeah the BenQ-Seimens EF81 is an alright looking phone but I still prefer the Z540. Its slightly more 'rounded' an as I’m not a fan of the ultra minimalist square look Ill stick with this. Good news about it being on the Voda UK coming soon page but like I have said before, beware...Voda UK are not good at keeping release dates!

Good call on not getting the Nokia 6280! I was all for that phone & REALLY wanted one till I picked it up and really saw just how big it really is! I love the Z540, Im pretty sure thin phones are the way of the future (Go Moto for putting it in the hands of the common people!) Be warned though, Voda UK is TERRIBLE at keeping promises on release dates (cf: Nokia 6280; delayed for almost 5 months!) so just keep your fingers crossed on this one!

Terry,
It is still unclear as to when this phone will be released to European network markets, or as a matter of fact anywhere other than Japan (although it has been roumoured that Vodafone D2 Germany has expressed an interest in the phone). It is EXPECTED to be available in European Vodafone markets by mid year (late summer) but it is up to specific networks as to what phones they sell so depends on where you live in the world and what networks you have available!

Luke,
I am still 'on the fence' as it were on the Z560. I like it but it uses HSDPA which is an improvement/development on the standard UMTS/W-CDMA 3G networks making it effectively a 3.5G standard. It all depends on where you live in the world really as many different countries are deploying this technology a different time and some networks are probably not even going to adopt it at all! In the short term, I would personally go for the Z540 as it is going to be available to Vodafone and other network users really pretty soon, about mid year in Europe if the networks get their A-into-G! Then wait and see over the next year or so on how the deployment of HSDPA goes. I get my Z540 (called a 804SS here in Japan) in about a week. Ill post my opinions as soon as I get my hands on it.

Kenneth,
As has already been stated in these forums, the Z540 WILL NOT be dropped from production. Its already being shipped to Japan and goes on sale here on the Vodafone K.K. (Vodafone Japan) network in mid March (expected 13th). Yes Samsung does announce huge numbers of new phones each year but many of them are made for specific markets such as Korea and Hong Kong or Taiwan and only sold there under exclusive deals with networks. Just because they dont go on sale in Europe, doesnt mean they dropped the phone from production.

Luke,
I wouldnt go near the Nokia N70. I love Nokia phones, dont get me wrong but its so big, infact massive is more acurate! As for the Samsung Z510/Z540 issue, its up to you really. They are practically the same phone in technical specfications but with different designs. I personally like the Z540 design better. Furthermore, I dont really like the "roll-around" camera on the Z510 (similar to S.E v800), but its all about personal preference.

I am not a fan of the Moto RAZR or V3x for the simple reason that although it is a very thin phone when you open it up it still has the fat piece t the bottom of the phone which looks REALLY ugly. This phone is the first really thin, 3G/UMTS mobile phone that doesnt have that revolting fat part. In response to several other posts about this phone;
1. 1.3MP is fine for a mobile camera! All of you saying Samsung should include 2, 3 or more mega pix cameras...carry a decent dedicated digital camera with you!
2. This phone will NOT be cancelled as it is already in mass production in both Korea and Japan, and will go on sale in Japan on the Vodafone K.K network as the "Samsung 804SS" from mid march (See the Vodafone K.K Japan website here(page 4):
http://www.vodafone.jp/english...60118_1e.pdf
After its inital launch in Japan it will then go on sale accross the Vodafone networks worldwide, starting with the European networks.

Another 1.3mp camera phone... can you come out with a 5mp camera phone!!! Don't waste time on 1.3 anymore, cos the picture is so poor. At least give me a 3mp. Other than this the design is very stylish.

This is a fantastic phone. Who cares if its a copy of the Moto V3x, they should be flattered. Besides, this is better. I have the fat part at the bottom on the Moto phones! Thin phones is where the future is! I want this phone now!
