We’ve been busy reviewing E-TEN Glofiish kit recently, so it’s good to see more new phones around the corner. Both handsets are pretty identical, sporting a sliding QWERTY keyboard, WiFi, auto-focus 2 megapixel cameras, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, GPS and a Samsung S3C CPU running at 500Mhz. However, the M750 has only EDGE connectivity whereas the M810 gets 3G and HSDPA connectivity.
Now, this is what’s a little confusing for me – why release two identical handsets, but only have EDGE connectivity in one and 3.5G in the other? Sure, you’ll win battery life but I can’t really see the point. What’s your opinions?

Update – Blimey! The guys at devicewire already have the M810 in stock!
