other features include capacitive keys (on external display), a 5MP rear shooter, microSD expansion slot, supports both CDMA and GSM radios, a 1,500 mAh battery, plus the usual GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi. as far as we know, the phone is confirmed to be available in China (since it surfaced on the Samsung’s China website), but the rest of the world will just have to wait and see. have a few more look in the gallery below; or hit this link to learn more (it helps if you read Chinese, or read the translated page instead if you don’t).
