Samsung launched the AnyCall Haptic 2 touch screen phone already. The Haptic 2 will probably hit AT&T stores in the USA. In Korea it will be available for about $605 or $691 depending on how much internal memory you choose.

Here are some of its features:

• 5 megapixel camera with flash
• Image stabilization
• 4GB or 16GB internal memory
• 3.2 inch touch screen display
• Internal DMB tuner.

We first laid our eyes on the Samsung SGH-F480 and its new TouchWiz interface back in MWC 2008. We were promised a April/May release date and true to their word, Samsung has announced that the 5-megapixel shooter is now headed to Europe. No word on availability in US, but considering that it is triband GSM designed for Europe and Asia, the phone would pretty much be a dud here anyways. With the new TouchWiz UI comes support for widgets, which can be dragged on to the home screen, which wasn’t available on its predecessor, the Croix 2.0 interface. Also available are 22 different vibrations which provide haptic feedback to the touch of a finger. Otherwise, the cell phone is basically the Samsung Armani with a 2.8-inch touchscreen, video messaging, email, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth connectivity, mobile blogging, and a 5-megapixel camera equipped with auto-focus as well as image stabilization.

The SGH-F480 will be released in the European market with a graduated release in other countries, most probably Asian.
