Samsung Giorgio Armani (B7620) has already made its way out in the international market and now the non-QWERTY slider specifically meant for Samsung’s home market has also been given the official treatment. The W820/W8200 Giorgio Armani will be released later this month but Samsung has started taking pre-orders with stores like New World Department Store offering special prizes.

As mentioned above, the phone does away with the QWERTY to adopt a normal alphanumeric keypad and features 3.1-inch WVGA touchscreen, Armani UI, sapphire glass, 5MP auto focus camera and T-DMB.

The exact price is unknown at the moment but expect it to sell for more than a million Korean won (US$850).

Remember the Giorgio Armani phone that was supposed to be announced way back in June? Yes, it got official today. Samsung and Giorgio Armani showed off the device in Milan, Italy in the presence of Steve Ballmer (wearing a tie signed by Armani!) and Giorgio Armani himself.

The phone is strikingly similar to W820/W8200 with gold and black accents but unlike the Korean counterpart, this version sports a nicely spaced out QWERTY keyboard and a screen that tilts 30 degrees (like Nokia N97).

As for the features, the phone is powered by WinMo 6.5, loaded with Armani applications, 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, GPS, 5MP camera, 8GB internal storage and more.

Samsung plans to sell this phone for around 700 Euros ($1032).

Want to see more of Giorgio Armani phone that was leaked last month? Well, a Korean website has published some high quality pictures along with detailed explanation of the design, UI and other functions. Unfortunately for us, the explanation is in Korean but pictures are worth ogling.

The specs jibe with what we uncovered last time. The W820/W8200 features 3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, DMB, 5MP Camera, HSDPA, Bluetooth, microSD card slot supporting up to 16GB.
