Samsung just announced the SGH-L870, which was first noticed in Holland, in mid April. Now official, the L870 reveals its pretty look and features. As expected, it is a S60 smartphone, but we are happy to see it runs on the latest Symbian 9.3 and 3rd Edition of the S60 interface with Feature Pack 2, just as the newest Nokia smartphones. It definitely looks better than on the spy photos, with stainless steel body and brushed pattern.

Samsung’s specs mentioning Safari

Samsung will load it with a few applications straight out of the box (including task manager, PIM homescreen plug-in, and business card recognition function), but for us, the most interesting feature, which will be available in the L870, is the Safari Internet browser. This is a big surprise, since until now, it was present only in the iPhone, but apparently, Samsung has collaborated with Apple to use it in its phones (not yet announced). Although the S60 default browser (which by the way is very good) is based on the same WebKit open source engine as the Safari, we guess the latter will surpass it in every aspect.

The Samsung SGH-L870 is a half-inch (13.5mm) thick slider, with a 3-megapixel camera, a 2.4” QVGA display, including 100MB of memory plus microSD slot, FM radio and Stereo Bluetooth. It is tri-band GSM with single band UMTS/HSDPA 3.6Mbps support, targeted for the European market where, it will launch around August.
