UPDATE: The phone is official.

We already told you about SPH-W8300 for KT last month and now it looks like it’s ready for primetime. True to the description, the phone is slim at 13.4mm and illuminative with the help of the external round screen. It also has a button on the hinge that automatically opens up the clamshell.

As far as other features are concerned, the phone supports HSDPA, has a 2.6-inch 262K LCD internal screen (240×320), 2MP camera, Video/Music on Demand, Subway Maps, SOS function, Bluetooth, games, microSD card and a talk/standby time of up to 5/390 hours.

The phone will be marketed as SCH-W830 for SKT and SPH-W8350 for LGT.

This information is just in. The Bluetooth SIG has added a new Samsung phone to its directory. The addition is SPH-W8300 that will be KTF bound and needless to say, will be restricted to South Korea only. The listing has not revealed the full specs but says that it’s a “slim & illumination folder,” hinting that it will be a slim clamshell device. Other things the listing claims is the 3.6Mbps HSDPA, Bluetooth (obviously!) and 2.6(-inch) which we presume will be the screen size.

We hope to see the phone in the coming weeks.
