Samsung Giorgio Armani (B7620) has already made its way out in the international market and now the non-QWERTY slider specifically meant for Samsung’s home market has also been given the official treatment. The W820/W8200 Giorgio Armani will be released later this month but Samsung has started taking pre-orders with stores like New World Department Store offering special prizes.

As mentioned above, the phone does away with the QWERTY to adopt a normal alphanumeric keypad and features 3.1-inch WVGA touchscreen, Armani UI, sapphire glass, 5MP auto focus camera and T-DMB.

The exact price is unknown at the moment but expect it to sell for more than a million Korean won (US$850).

Samsung and Armani have come up with a highly rated passable phone. Night Effect is the name of the phone which does nothing funky except with the gaudy LED lights shouting EMPORIO ARMANI on the sides. The specification is somewhat the saving grace as it boasts a Quad-band network support, HSDPA, 2.2-inch AMOLED display, 3.2 megapixel camera, music controls, FM Radio and expandable memory via microSD card. However, the phone is a big turn off on the design front considering the fact that both the companies are stalwarts in their respective areas.

The phone will be shipping in November starting from Europe and spreading to other regions.
