Way back in July, we had told you about the Samsung i8320 aka Protector. Back then, we had very little details to serve ya with the name and its proof of existence but now we have lots more juicy bits to share.

First, it runs Linux but not Google’s version! Yup, the Protector will be a LiMo phone, which makes Sammy probably the only handset vendor to flirt with just about every open smartphone OS known to man at the moment. On the specs front, we are looking at a CORTEX-A8 OMAP3430 processor, an 800×480 pixel touchscreen display, 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi and the works. Interestingly, it would have Opera Mobile 9.6 Internet browser.
