Samsung's puzzling camera trick: here's how they did it

Remember Samsung's brilliant viral video campaign for its I8910 HD cellphone we showed you last month? Now the company reveals how it pulled off that clever camera trick.

Some of our more astute commenters instantly solved this fascinating puzzle, and others — myself included — weren't even close. Way to go, guys! You nailed it.

You fail grammar forever.

@stargate525: Solved it! That's what I meant to say. Added, and thanks for the heads-up.

Should be mentioned that some of Samsung's "clues" weren't right. The letters they mention aren't in the reflection as we noted in the original article.

Here's a detailed video of all the clues and giveaways:

I already did something like this, but I think I went overboard.

who cares about the video - where is this phone already? For months it's been talked about but no one is picking up where it left of, who's going to carry it (nothing firm if Verizon's picking it up or not) and when the release date is.... It's ridiculous! I'm thinking this phone will never come to the US!

that pretty much demonstrates why i don't buy much of the new technology. it's all the marketing deception and trickery that keeps me away. i'm not impressed.
