The Samsung B7610 Louvre is said to be the successor of the F700, released back in 2007, although the difference is that the B7610 will come out as a smartphone. This phone has appeared at The Phone House, which is a Dutch version of the Carphone Warehouse, and has shown almost the similar design as to the F700.
The Samsung B7610 comes in the same form factor and as well as same QWERTY slideout keyboard. It is also expected to have a touchscreen user interface, 5 megapixel camera and perhaps GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity as well. We are not sure about that though but what is certain is that this will run on Windows Mobile 6.1 something that the F700 didn't have then.
Until now, everything is still unofficial, even its Louvre name as it looks like it has nothing do with the Louvre Museum in Paris. But who knows, we have been hearing a lot of unusual names for mobile phones these days anyway.
