MAh. But hey, he got two out of three letters right, and one of them even in the right position.
On the internet, that's a job well done.

Windows Phone Mango and Samsung Hardware for the WIN!

Now that's more like it! But anyway I prefer Nokia with WP, rather than Samsung.

Less than 4" screen, it looks like? Is EVERY CDMA Mango less than 4"??? Best I could tell. Ready for a little variety with the Mango flavor, gang....

since it's almost the same as the omnia 7, it has a 4" screen as well.

I wish they would start releasing some new WP7 hardware on the CDMA side in the states. I have the Trophy but I really want a major high end WP7 device with a 4 inch plus screen and LTE radio.

Agreed. Looks the same as the original Omnia7 that came out a year ago. Wouldn't be surprised if this is just a "refresh" of that phone.

Bottom port is for SIM-card.

Liar.It's the microphone. SIM card is placed underneath the battery.

Ehm, did you check the internal pictures? Go to the source of this article and open the PDF. No SIM-card slot under the battery.

Just sayin'

I took this from the user manual which can be found where you've had your pictures:

Install the SIM card and battery
1. Remove the battery cover. If the phone is on, press and hold [...] to turn it off.
2. Insert SIM card. Place the SIM card in the phone with the gold-coloured contacts facing down.
3. Insert the battery
4. Replace the battery cover.

I'm pretty sure the SIM is underneath the battery :)

This is actually what I was hoping for. Hopefully this comes out soon.
