Almost missed this. Samsung unveiled a new Android smartphone Galaxy R, which as far as we can tell is identical to the Galaxy Z model. That said, we’re talking about a device which sits somewhere between the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, rocking a 4.2-inch WVGA touchscreen and 5-megapixel camera. In addition, this baby also comes with HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, dual-core processor, 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, GPS, Bluetooth, 8GB of built-in memory which is further expandable with microSD cards. What’s more, there are some pre-installed apps made to sing along Samsung’s web-based service Kies Air, allowing over-the-air syncing and even the “find my mobile” capability.
The Samsung Galaxy R will be released in the UK at the end of July, and we guess the launch in other countries across the Europe will follow shortly afterwards. British carriers will most likely offer it for free with contracts starting at 30 GBP a month or so.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
