Samsung Acclaim r880 shows off its Android interface and QWERTY keyboard

Thursday 19 August 2010 @ 7:12 pm

When U.S. Cellular Samsung r880 Acclaim announced, nobody knew what the receiver would be well. A few weeks later, Google introduced the phone during their I / O conference, although without showing its QWERTY sliding keyboard.

Fortunately, thanks to Samsung, we can now see the keyboard Acclaim – and is quite interesting, with four keys on the left side painted in the color of the direction buttons, apparently for reasons related to gambling.

QWERTY keyboard also has the function of Acclaim Android 2.1, a 3.2 inch touchscreen HVGA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Google services, 3MP camera and slot for memory expansion. As you can see, the phone is not totally like Samsung S Galaxy, but users of messaging-room on a budget should probably perfect.

IPADE Apple iPhone looks like a giant, so I'm not at all surprised to see that Samsung's first Android compressed, apparently called Samsung Tab Galaxy, Galaxy looks like a giant S i9000.

The tablet has just been confirmed by Samsung South Africa's Twitter account – although it is unclear when and where to be implemented, or if this is the same as the sound device S-Pad (probably is, however).

The Samsung Galaxy Tab seems to work as a phone, too, and have TouchWiz on top of Android. The tablet shown below next to the S Galaxy (as seen IPADE better than, or is it just me?)

There are too many details about tablet specifications, but the screen seems to be an 8 or 9 inches, maybe one is a 7-inch TFT. There is also a headphone jack, 3.5 mm at the top. Well, we have a winner here.

More as we get.
