Won-Pyo Hong, head of product strategy, went on to tell Reuters that it’s undecided whether the new batch of phones would land first in the US or Europe, but that both should have them by the end of the year.

Open source aficionados will also be pleased to hear that a phone based on the ‘LiMo’ platform, which was co-founded by Samsung a couple of years back, is also likely to be released later this year.
