Samsung G810 - shipment date leaked

An online retailer called CarphoneWarehouse currently seems to leak infos like mad - while this will probably piss off quite a few manufacturers, they probably gamble on many incoming links from analysts causing an extra influx of visitors.

Anyways, the folks claim that the Samsung G810(hands-on report from CeBit here) will become available by 14th April 2008. So far, neither prices nor preordering is possible, though.

Stay tuned for further details as they become available!
