In what might be some type of time to market record, Samsung’s 8 megapixel monster just popped up for Orange UK just a handful of weeks after we first heard word.

Sure, the interface is totally derivative of the iPhone, and there’s that pesky cursor floating around, but all-in-all it looks like the company has managed to knock out a decent — if incredibly familiar — UI for its long-delayed phone. Still, there’s some low rent hilarity in this video. Our favorites? The smattering of soft porn pictures and video, and Meizu CEO and all-around bon vivant Jack Wong revealed in a reflection… Update: Despite our excitement about Jack Wong in a face mask, some readers have pointed out (and we agree) that it’s actually the camera he’s using to film the video.
