Samsung Omnia Pro Revealed
Posted on: Posted on June 14, 2009 10:38 PM
Pictures of the Samsung Omnia Pro got briefly published recently, and it is reportedly the rumored B7610 Louvre back in April. Running Windows Mobile 6.1, this smart handset's impressive specs appears to have what it takes to appeal to business professionals and texters alike: wide 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 2 user interfaces (Pro and Media), Wi-Fi with DLNA support, Bluetooth, HSDPA/HSUPA, GPS, 5.1 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, 800 MHz CPU, FM Radio, MicroUSB, 1GB internal memory expandable to 32GB via microSDHC. For video lovers, it also comes with a TV out and 3.5mm headset jack and Divx/WMV/H.264 accelerations. One cannot help but wonder how does its 1500 mAh battery contain all that. Release date is currently unconfirmed due to some ROM issues, but we should be able to see it September or October this year.

Posted on: Posted on May 27, 2009 6:12 PM
Samsung is scheduled to release the Infinity - a good-looking, full-touchscreen budget phone - this July 20th. Targeting the mid to low-range phone lineup, it will feature a 3-inch 240x400 pixels touchscreen display, 2MP camera, quad-band GSM/EDGE and dual-band UMTS, along with Bluetooth, microSD expansion and aGPS.

It looks like budget phones might be the popular thing during these uncertain economic times. AT&T is offering the Samsung a177 for its bargain GoPhone service.

Samsung Introduces Preston And Star
Posted on: Posted on May 5, 2009 10:50 AM
Samsung has a few more handsets that are available to the general public, which are the Preston and Star. But models are quite similar to each other, with the Preston being able to be set up for HSDPA, which allows for faster connectivity. The bad news is that both models lack Wi-Fi. Both devices will have integrated FM radio, 3.2-megapixel camera, and Bluetooth. The Samsung Preston will feature a 2.8-inch display, while the Samsung Star will sport a 3-inch display. Are you looking forward to this phone?

Samsung To Use Navteq
Posted on: Posted on April 30, 2009 9:42 AM
Samsung, which is certainly a strong competitor of Nokia, will be using Navteq maps on a couple of its devices that should be available in no less than 76 markets worldwide. Why do we mention Nokia? Well, that’s because Navteq was acquired by Nokia in 2008 for about $8.1 billion. The company currently provides Geographic Information Systems data and digital navigation maps for companies like Garmin, Yahoo and BMW. One of the first Samsung devices to use Navteq maps will reportedly be the Omnia HD i8910, which should be available come May.
Samsung Epix Hotfix Problem
Posted on: Posted on April 29, 2009 3:02 PM
Updates are good right? Well, that may not always be the case, as evidenced by a recent update that was pushed by AT&T. The update was meant to fix the “Slog Dump” problem that occurred with the phone, and it does, but folks who applied the hotfix started having quite a few issues with the radio after the hotfix was applied. Kill one bug, and 10 more created, eh?

Live Pictures Of Samsung i7500
Posted on: Posted on April 27, 2009 10:29 AM
It looks like just after the word that Samsung’s i7500 will be Android-powered, live pictures of the device have surfaced, in the usual blurry quality, not to mention plenty of smudge prints on the device. Considering that there’s still a lack of Android-powered devices in the market, we certainly aren’t going to complain over pictures of an Android device, regardless of how blurry.
