Samsung claims another first with its S8500 cellphone which is the first consumer handset with the Bluetooth 3.0 specification on board that has been given the nod of approval by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. What does the Samsung S8500 come with? Well, you get a 3.1″ anti-reflective, outdoor-viewable, OLED touchscreen display with the TouchWiz user interface and quad-band GSM/EDGE radios. The Samsung S8500 comes in several colors, and we hope to see the final specifications list revealed by Samsung officially sooner rather than later. It isn’t FCC-approved as at press time just in case you were wondering.
