Probably you might have read the title to this post and thought phones that have their own sex? Phone genitalia? Oh, actually, was that just me? Nevermind…. Tech.co.uk has a story about a couple of new Samsung phones (SGH-L310 and SGH-L320) that apparently are for “fashion conscious users” – or, you could suggest, mainly girls?…
Samsung i607 BlackJack finally gets Windows Mobile 6.0 update – WinMo6 for BlackJack users today!
The wait is over! After watching just about every other Windows Mobile 5.0 user get the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0, Samsung BlackJack users can finally expect to play in the same sandbox that their BlackJack II-toting counterparts have been enjoying for quite some time. Samsung has finally seen fit to endow the old-school BlackJack…
6 phones, 5 megapixels each, battle is out for the number 1 spot
Phone Arena did a brilliant comparison of all the major 5 megapixel cameras out on the market right now (Nokia N82, Nokia N95 8GB, Sony Ericsson K850i, Samsung G600, Samsung G800, LG Viewty) and posted a ton of image samples so that you can form your own opinion at the end of the day. Judging…
Samsung L170 – U600/U700 in a candybar form factor
Aside from announcing the J400, Samsung has also unveiled the L170 candybar. However, unlike the clamshell device which we covered yesterday, the L170 doesn’t sport the 3G radio. Rather it relies on the standard GSM/GPRS Class 12 “speeds.” And while we like how it looks, the screen size and other specs are just not there.…
FCC shows Samsung Z400 – Samsung’s first Direct-Connect handset for Sprint
The FCC is always good for getting the down-low on un-announced, un-released handsets. It looks like Samsung is getting into the DirectConnect game. How Sprint managed to convince Samsung to hop on-board its struggling CDMA-based DirectConnect bandwagon is beyond us – although, it’s a better wagon to hop aboard than Nextel’s dying iDEN network. The…
Samsung Blackjack II hits Rogers as “Jack”
File this under “weird,” as Canadian Rogers Wireless added the Samsung Blackjack II to its offering as “Jack.” We do agree simply “Jack” sounds way more memorable, but then again this is the first time we’re aware that someone renamed the popular Blackjack smartphone. Whatever the reason is, it’s good to see the GSM carrier…
Samsung t819 hits T-Mobile with 1700Mhz 3G
Following on the FCC’s green-lighting of the Samsung t819 3G slider last month, Samsung and T-Mobile have made the Samsung t819 officially official for T-Mobile’s US subscriber-base. Now, we’re calling this Samsung t819 a “3G slider” because (1) it’s a slider and (2) it supports T-Mobile USA’s own special flavor of 3G spectrum (the 1700Mhz…
Samsung announces J400, stylish mid-range 3G clamshell
Samsung has announced a new 3G clamshell phone J400. The stylish device is simple to use, and beside UMTS radio, it also packs 2″ 128×220 262K color screen, external monochrome display, 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and of course the microSD memory card slot. As for the size, the J400 measures 99×49.5×15.9 mm and has…
Thoughts on Mobile TV – today…. Devices!
Following from my post yesterday about the multiple Mobile TV standards, today I thought we might take a short tour de force of Mobile TV handsets – with specific reference to the DVB-H standard….
White Samsung F700 headed to Vodafone Spain
Those lucky Europeans, they get all the good stuff. The pseudo-haptic feedback-toting Samsung F700, with that Award-winning Croix interface, has popped up with a new color scheme. We’ve been seeing manufacturers offer lighter-color offerings of all-Black handsets, and it seems Samsung isn’t letting the F700 fall behind. Vodafone Spain will be getting the Samsung F700…
