The saga of the Samsung M8800 / Pixon / Bresson or whatever it is called rolls on. Although Samsung haven't yet announced the M8800, they have produced a web site called The Photographic Adventures of Nick Turpin due to go live on the second of October.

Samsung have produced an email flyer with some pretty detailed pictures (see below) but they don't add much to the specifications that we have already given except to add that the M8800 Pixon has face detection, shake reduction, high-speed video capture and surround sound. To recap the rest of the specifications - this is a 3.5G device with a 3.2" 240 x 400 pixel touchscreen display, an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, a comprehensive multimedia player and we also think that it has an FM radio and some sort of GPS functionality.

Samsung have used the Pixon name throughout the sparse publicity they have producted, not the Bresson name that was first indicated.

Samsung have some additional flyers here, here and here which give an idea of Samsung's marketing campaign.

Presumably, the official launch date is the 2nd October which is also rumoured to be the date when Nokia may announce their own touchscreen phone. Coincidence?
