Samsung is the master of creating an infinite amount of product variants based off of one sole hardware platform. Take the Galaxy S for example. It’s available from all four of America’s largest operators, each of them tweaking it slightly in attempt to show some form of differentiation. Their strategy is paying off too since…
Sprint is planning an Android handset to combat Verizon’s Droid Pro, by the looks of it. We don’t know much about this Samsung handset, but it’s got the full physical QWERTY keyboard and a portrait-oriented touchscreen. It doesn’t look like there’s any kind of front-facing camera, so I wouldn’t expect 4G on here, but really,…
The successor to the original Wave, Samsung Wave II (S8530), is finally hitting the UK. Previously we thought it will be launched in December but obviously something went wrong when we needed to wait for an additional month. The device is available either directly from O2 or from phone retailer Phones4U, which can hook you…

Yesterday we reported that Samsung Galaxy Tab sales figures might have been exaggerated, and that executive Lee Young-Hee was quoted as saying sales to actual consumers were “quite small.” Today we’re learning that that’s not what she said at all, and you’ll hear it in the audio clip below. Instead, she said that Samsung Galaxy…
If you’re sporting a Sprint Samsung Transform and think it’s just a tad bit too slow, then you’re in luck because the wonderful Android tinkering community has brought a stable port of Android 2.2 Froyo to the Sprint ID device. Over at SDK developers, we get a few glimpses of Android 2.2 Froyo running on…
