According to reports, Vodafone is ready to launch the Samsung Blade in the UK after the company in Spain began offering the phone for sale.

The Samsung Blade, or previously known as the Samsung S5600, comes with HSDPA 3.5 G, a 3 megapixel camera and a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen with microSD card slot for up to 8GB of additional storage space. The handset has the TouchWiz interface.

There is no information regarding its availability or pricing but the handset comes free on contract in Spain so it might be the same for the UK.
