This time it’s not FCC but Bluetooth SIG that revealed us the upcoming Samsung device. It’s marked as S9110, and from the number we can say it’s a high-end phone. We don’t have any additional details at this stage — except that it will be Bluetooth enabled like any other phone on the market —…
Palm seeing 40% Palm Pre return rate?
