The Samsung T349 has shown up on what looks like an internal T-Mobile document, featuring most prominently a 20-key layout for fast messaging. Sounds an awful lot like BlackBerry’s SureType, but we won’t get our hate on – in fact, Samsung probably licensed it from RIM. Here are the specs: 20-key keypad 1.3 megapixel camera…

Samsung going Android with Samsung I7500 on O2 Germany
As the year progresses, we’re getting more information about various manufacturers’ Android plans. The latest rumors point to Samsung making the jump to the Google-backed Android OS later this year with their Android-powered Samsung I7500 on Germany’s O2 network. Samsung is keeping mum on the finer details, but word has it that the 11.9mm-thick Samsung…
Samsung readying QWERTY-toting Samsung Omnia Pro for July?
HTC pioneered the smartphone one-two punch with their HTC Touch Diamond slate and HTC Touch Pro QWERTY-slider. The formula worked – HTC offered those without a need for a QWERTY keyboard a slimmer touchscreen smartphone (Touch Diamond), essentially adding a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for those with a need for hard keys (Touch Pro). And, now…
Samsung Smooth Brings Flippy Simplicity and GPS to Verizon
The Samsung U350 passed the FCC back in January, but just took its sweet time getting to Verizon, where it was christened with the model name “Smooth”. Not much stranger than the BlackBerry “Curve”, I guess. It’s a bit of a yawner at first glance, but not bad at all for an entry level phone.…
Best Buy Mobile Throws Down ‘Door Crasher’ Deals For the Weekend
Best Buy Mobile has dropped some mildly insane pricing on some solid devices lately. These ‘door crasher’ deals are only available until April 26th, so Canadians best be getting their bee-hinds into the stores if they want to catch the pricing before the deal is over.

The optimized-for-music device prides itself with such features as cool touch-sensitive navigation, ICEpower audio from Bang & Olufsen, Bluetooth, aGPS, and 1GB of internal memory that is further expandable with microSD cards up to 16GB. On the downside, there’s an old school-ish 1.3 megapixel camera and why-not-QVGA…
Sprint’s Samsung Instinct S30 getting unboxed
Sprint has officially started offering the new-generation Samsung Instinct S30 as a refreshed follow-up to the record-breaking Samsung Instinct, and that means it’s time for a handset unboxing! The Samsung Instinct S30 doesn’t exactly improve on its predecessor’s feature-set as you’d normally expect from a second-gen device, but the Instinct S30 is certainly a sleeker…
Tracfone adds yet another low-end Samsung phone to its portfolio – SGH-T201G
Tracfone has a new entry-level device in its offering. It’s the Samsung SGH-T201G, which is the operator’s third device coming from the South Korean giant — two previously offered handsets are the Samsung SGH-T101G candybar and SGH-T301G slider. From what we’ve just wrote, you’re obviously thinking “it’s clamshell time,” and you’re right about that one.…
Sprint launches Samsung Instinct S30!
Samsung’s original Sprint Instinct did a great job of blowing away previous sales records, and Sprint’s looking for a repeat performance with their updated Samsung Instinct S30. And, it looks like Sprint has gone ahead and launched the sleeker, more refined Samsung Instinct S30 for the touchscreen-fiends out there. Despite that alleged Best Buy circular…
