Omio.com have grabbed a neat exclusive, having peeked at Orange UK’s Q2 launch schedule – cool tech incoming – both the Samsung Omnia HD and LG’s Viewty 2 will be out in June of this year!
However, that ain’t it – there is news of previously unannounced handsets!
The Samsung Preston is pencilled in for a May release. It will be coming in black, pink and white, suggesting a stylish device colour co-ordinated for the fashionistas amongst us! Could it be a resprayed and renamed S5600, a slim touchscreen phone already earmarked for European release around that time?
The second is the LG GW520 ‘Calisto’, ready for a June release. We know absolutely nothing about this one, we’re afraid…
Thanks to Ernest for grabbing the exclusive there! You can find Omio.com here!
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
