Slide-out keyboard = thick as a brick. It's about 5mm thicker than the iPhone.
Hmm, I wonder what OS it's running. Definitely not Windows Mobile, at least. It actually looks like a fairly well thought-out UI from the product shots: maybe a Linux variant. I'm slightly intrigued, though I have been very unimpressed with the quality of Samsung phones lately.
Speaking of iPhone, I highly recommend the series of cell phone/mobile platform analyses posted on RoughlyDrafted.com. I think they very clearly lay out where Windows Mobile, Palm OS, and Symbian went wrong and show that iPhone and OS X really do have a big opportunity to make some serious noise in the smartphone market. They also have very instructive price comparisons between the iPhone, LG Prada, and SonyEricsson P990. Spoiler: the iPhone has significantly better features and costs less.
