In an occurrence that seems to be happening on an almost weekly basis as of late, an online retailer has put up details about a thus far unannounced device. This time around, it’s the Samsung S8000. They caught their error after a few hours – but not before much of the spec sheet had began its adventure across the internet.

GSMArena managed to catch most of the droolworthy details: 3.1″ WVGA AMOLED Display, 5 megapixel shooter with flash, 2 GB internal memory, 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio, Wi-Fi, GPS (and A-GPS), and Bluetooth 2.1. That’s all fine and dandy – especially considering they packed it all into a 12mm body – but the most interesting bit: according to the product page, it’s an Android phone.

Samsung has promised 3 Android phones are on the way, so this could most certainly be one of those. Lacking a physical QWERTY keyboard or a slider of any sort, it shares a form factor with the soon (but not as soon as before) to be released HTC Magic. Unlike the Magic, the S8000 has a 3.5mm headset jack. We can’t wait.
