Samsung has recently announced the details for its Innovation Quest (IQ) 2009 competition, which will end on August 14.

Known under various names across Europe (Samsung Preston, Samsung Halley or Samsung Player), the S5600 is offered by Vodafone in a slightly different version and, obviously, with a new name: Samsung Blade.

The Blade appears on Vodafone Spain’s official website, and it seems that it’s already available for purchase – free on select plans.



Samsung Blade has specs similar to the ones of the S5600 (HSDPA, 2.8 QVGA touchscreen display, 3.2MP camera), but its d-pad is different, looking like a precious stone.

Another interesting Samsung phone recently launched by Vodafone is the high-end Jet S8000, which is available only in the UK for the moment.
