Samsung Loches smartphone leaked or just a feeble PR effort?
January 23rd, 2009

Believe what you will, but our tipster in Europe just wrote to tell us about a pretty poor teaser website for an as-yet-unknown Samsung phone called the Loches.

The site – www.samsungloches.com - appears to be the usual weak UK marketing BS, and is clearly branded by a shill firm from London called Steak.

Aside from a blurry photo with a (deliberately?) amateur-looking question mark pasted over it, the text says only: “What is the Samsung Loches? Is it a mobile phone? A Samsung smartphone? A hoax? Only time will tell…”

Well, Gaj-IT seems to believe the rumor is real, suggesting it could be the S8300 we heard about last month. There’s a bunch of specs over there, but it’s all pretty pointless when we don’t really know if there’s any truth in the babble.
