We’ve already seen the Samsung R470 passing the FCC hurdle and then we knew it’s coming to U.S. Cellular at some point in the future. The device is now officially announced by Samsung, meaning it should (if it already hasn’t) hit U.S. Cellular’s offering within days — although pricing and availability details were not disclosed.…

Samsung has the MBP200 Pico Projector for mobile phones on display at CES. The pocket-sized device measures 107.3×48.8×19 mm and weighs only 160g!

CES: Day 2 Wrap-Up
We still don’t have a show floor proper to peruse, but the press day definitely gave the big names a chance to blast out their big announcements.

Samsung R470 revealed by the FCC; Heading to U.S. Cellular
Thanks to the FCC, we know a new device is heading towards U.S. Cellular’s portfolio. It’s the music-centric Samsung R470, which as you can see from the image above, looks quite decent.

Samsung Working with WiMAX and LTE Chips

Samsung C3110 cleared by the FCC
A new Samsung phone has been spotted while gaining approval by the FCC. It’s the Samsung C3110 and there’s nothing too special about it, but since it’s a slow news day we decided to talk about it, nonetheless.
