At a first glance, the INNOV8, pronounced "innovate," gives you the feeling that it is packed with technology, and its mysterious look really does wonders for the clients who need it. If you take a closer look at its features, surprisingly, it does not disappoint you.

Created for users looking to enjoy spectacular multimedia experiences, INNOV8 can easily be regarded as a phone and strong competitor for all other such devices, but mostly for the popular N95 and N96. This Samsung starts off as a Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, HSDPA phone, using 8GB or 16GB of internal memory, depending on the version, and having the expandable memory capacity of 16GB, using the microSD card slot.

It's complete with USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, A-GPS and TV-out connectivity, while the 3.7v 100mAh battery withstands up to 7hours of talk time. Measuring 106.5x54.5.16.9mm and weighing 140g, this Samsung doesn't seem too impressive, but it's actually much more appealing than it sounds. It gives the illusion that it is smaller and mostly thinner than its actual size, and it's just one of those devices that sticks to the corners of your mind.

Moreover, the GT-i8510 has some even more remarkable features, such as the 2.8'' TFT 16M color(240x320pixels) display, and the truly worth-mentioning 8 Megapixel camera complete with 9xDigital Zoom and a Dual Power Led that really makes it the reputation of a great multimedia device. In addition, it comes equipped with face detection, panoramic stitching, image stabilizer and video editing features, plus the music player's capabilities extended to the Real Audio formats as well. INNOV8 supports plenty of multimedia applications and services, which only increase this mobile's overall capacities.

The i8510 appeared on the market this month, and, as for how much trouble it will create to the N-Series, it's now up to you to consider how successful it will become.
