Samsung cell phone — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:18:01 +0000

The first handsets supporting the LiMo Foundation’s Release 2 were introduced Thursday. The Samsung touchscreen devices will support Vodafone’s 360 service, Vodafone said. The LiMo Foundation is the industry group behind the Linux-based operating system for mobile devices.

At the same time the LiMo Foundation said operators planning to bring R2 handsets to market in the coming months include Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless, NTT DOCOMO, Orange, SK Telecom, and Telefonica. Samsung Cell Phone news

Vodafone’s 360 service is using the open source LiMo operating system to enable users to store social networking contacts and phone contacts in a single place.

The collaboration between Vodafone and Samsung that resulted in the Samsung handsets "signals the first of a wave of R2 LiMo handsets due in the coming months," said Morgan Gillis, executive director of the LiMo Foundation, in a statement. Samsung’s Vodafone 360 H1 represents Samsung’ first LiMo-based product. The phone features a 3.5-inch WVGA AMLED display and 720P HD video recording.

Samsung M8920 shows up

Samsung cell phone — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:12:02 +0000

We just came upon another leaked photos of what seems to be the successor of the Samsung Pixon12. This time however it’s the Korean version of the monster cameraphone dubbed Samsung SCH-W880. The information about the specs list is still pretty scarce but the camera alone to make us drool. Samsung Cell Phone news

Four months ago the first evidence of the existence of a Pixon12 successor with optical zoom popped up in the net. It was a picture of the Samsung M8920, which sported 3x optical zoom and HD video recording.

We now have some good news for our Korean buddies who will also be getting a piece of the action. It appears that Samsung is planning to launch a Korean version of the 12MP handset that should go by the name SCH-W880. The visual differences to the European model are almost non-existent or at least as far as the back panel is concerned. The camera zoomlens the xenon and LED flashes and the grip are all there. We do notice however that there are no Wi-Fi/GPS marks on W880, suggesting that those features might missing in this version.

We haven’t got confirmation of any of the other specs of the device, but those leaked shots should help make the waiting for the official announcement more easily bearable.

Samsung Pixon12 Shows up

Samsung cell phone — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:08:38 +0000

Samsung’s photographic beast, the Pixon12, is still relatively young in the European market, but the manufacturer hasn’t forgotten their home turf. South Korean service provider SK Telecom will apparently be offering a new version of the Pixon12 called the SCH-W880, which notably includes 3 x optical zoom. Right, like the camera needed more pampering. A similar model, bearing the number M8920, made the rounds earlier this summer, but not without any additional information; hopefully more detailed specifications will surface in the near future. Aside from the optical zoom, I wonder what else about the M8920 will be different from its older brother… Samsung Cell Phone news

Samsung cell phone — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 23:41:52 +0000

Samsung will be introducing a new dual-sliding handset – M3310. Just like that was the case with their previous such device – F400, the focus is on the music, hence the other part of the sliding mechanism unveils a dedicated speaker. Samsung Cell Phone news

Rest of the specs include a QVGA screen, dedicated music control keys, quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity, 3.2-megapixel camera, media player, and a microSD memory card slot. Size wise, the M3310 measures 101.8×46.9×15.9 mm and has a weight of 94 grams.

Presence of the “Anycall” logo suggests this baby will probably be released in Asia first, and afterwards who knows. Pricing is unknown at the moment…

Samsung Houdini unveiled

Samsung cell phone — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:37:40 +0000

Unlike the legendary escape artist Houdini, the Samsung Houdini prefers to remain in the limelight and hopes to stay "trapped" in the minds of many, where that would probably translate into more sales in the end. The Samsung Houdini will come with an AMOLED WVGA touchscreen display, powered by a 800MHz processor while featuring 7.2Mbps HSDPA, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, TouchWiz user interface, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS navigation and a 5-megapixel camera among others.

Samsung launches SCH-B900 in Korea

Samsung cell phone — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:32:31 +0000

Samsung has introduced a new touchscreen phone in South Korea, namely the Samsung SCH-B900, a CMDA EV-DO handset that should be soon available via SK Telecom. Samsung Cell Phone news

The new phone appears in white, having a simple and elegant design.

Using Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, the SCH-B900 features a 3 inch touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels, GPS, DMB TV, 3MP camera, Bluetooth, voice control, MicroSD card support (up to 16GB), and a 960 mAh battery.

Since it has CDMA/EV-DO connectivity, the Samsung SCH-B900 might be launched in the US too (via Verizon or Sprint), but there’s no word about such a release at the moment.

Samsung Omnia II I920 shows up early

Samsung cell phone — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:18:58 +0000

Samsung can’t seem to wait to unleash their Samsung Omnia II on the masses, having the handset pop up on their site. When available, the Samsung Omnia II will be under the Verizon Wireless stable, and we do know that the Samsung Omnia II will come with a rather hefty 1,500mAh battery – hopefully to power a ton of apps and features within. Other included items comprise of a stylus, a kind of microphone adapter and a rather strange D-pad which looks like a warped smile. Anyone waiting eagerly for this? Samsung Cell Phone news

Samsung Galaxy Lite I5700 gets new colors

Samsung cell phone — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:12:28 +0000

The saga of the second Android-based handset by Samsung, the Galaxy Lite I5700, continues. Earlier this month we showed you the first detailed pictures and a video of a device that sported a flashy green back. We also told you it would roll out October 2009. Samsung Cell Phone news

Samsung, the Galaxy Lite I5700 Phone Pictures – Samsung Cell Phone photos

The new images of the Samsung Galaxy Lite I5700 reveal its new, white (with a touch of green) and black (tinge of orange) attire. Personally, we don´t really like the overly shiny green version and we believe the broad public will probably find the newest (and more austere) colour solutions more appealing. We, however, don´t like the other part of the news about the cell phone. According to Dial-a-Phone, the second Android-powered device by Samsung will be probably delayed until 2010 and we can almost hear the murmur of discontent coming from devoted fans of the Google-made operating system. Still, the source also mentions one of our favourite words, "TouchWiz" interface. Perhaps, it´s the personalization of the interface that´s the major reason behind the possible delay of the Samsung Galaxy Lite I5700. What we do now is that all prototypes of the handset run a "pure" version of the OS. What would you rather go for? Android that has not been tampered with and available in several weeks or highly personalized interface that comes with a substantial market launch delay? Sound off your opinion in the comments below. Samsung Galaxy
