The new phone, which is a rival to the RIM's (Nasdaq: RIMM) Blackberry in the enterprise space and has been called an 'iPhone-Killer' because of its appeal to general consumers, will be branded SAFE, or Samsung Approved for Enterprise.

The move by Samsung is seen as foray into enterprise mobile, a place were Blackberry has traditionally ruled. But with interest in Blackberry flagging, Samsung and its Android operating system might be positioned to deliver a death blow to RIM.
