Samsung and Giorgio Armani are no strangers, and the partnership is back again this year with a second touchscreen handset bearing the designer’s brand.

After Samsung’s 12-megapixel “AMOLED 12M” was leaked yesterday, the company is back today with a full press release and details of the optical zoom-packing touchscreen handset. The Samsung SCH-W880 will arrive in Korea from early in October, where users will be able to marvel at its 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen and gasp in glee at its 3x optical zoom.
Samsung’s original Instinct surprised many when an eager public turned it into one of Sprint’s most successful devices, so it’s little surprise that the carrier are now expecting similarly impressive things from its successor, the Instinct HD.
