The Samsung T929 Leica was revealed about a month ago on Best Buy's Samsung replacement battery accessory page features a WQVGA touchscreen, 8-megapixel Leica camera with Xenon flash, a full HTML browser, A-GPS chip, and 3G access. Now, a few live pictures have surfaced revealing some more about this iPhone-looking handset.

This device will show up on the T-mobile lineup on the next weeks and promises to be a good competitor against other 8-megapixel camera phones, the Sony Ericsson C905 and Samsung's own INNOV8.

There has been a touchscreen-phone frenzy for the last months, ever since the iPhone came out, every manufacturer has released their own touchscreen device with different features, such as the Blackberry Storm, HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia 5800, and the G1. Each of them focuses on several concepts such as Multimedia, Business, Hi-Def Cameras or else. The T929 Leica will expand this growing market and will allow the customers to have more options from which to choose.

Samsung has released two 8-megapixel camera phones, the INNOV8 (i8510) and the T929, competing against Sony Ericsson Cybershot devices, the LG Renoir, and Nokia's Nseries (N95, N96, N82). These are not low-price handsets, so there has to be a good market strategy from this companies to sell their products during this economical crisis.
