Samsung i760 for Verizon: yep, it runs Crossbow
We got our 1st look at this phone back at CES 2007. Unfortunately, the unit we saw didn't have a battery, so we didn't get to "play" with it. You can revisit the past and see our purdy little shot from CES. "What we know is that it is supposed to come out on an carrier that has EV-DO (sorry Cingular and T-Mobile). It will be running Windows Mobile AKU3. We also know that it has a slide out keyboard and is pretty slim." That quote from the last posting ended up being true! Looks like Verizon is getting this one and I would expect to see something on it tommorow. [Read]
Samsung F700 (SGH-F700 / Ultra Smart F700) Preview
The Samsung F700 will be officially announced at next week's 3GSM World Congress, but Samsung have given us a brief glimpse of the specifications of this upcoming device in advance. It's an HSDPA capable 3.5G smartphone, with download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps (where supported), plus UMTS (3G), EDGE and GPRS, but the Samsung F700 does not appear to support WiFi. The SGH-F700's landscape/portrait mode and slide-out QWERTY keyboard are reminiscent of HTC devices such as the TyTN, but it is quite rare to see other manufacturers with this type of form factor. The Samsung F700 has a 2.8" 440x240 pixel display which is slightly better than most competing smartphones which have just 320x240 pixels. However, it still can't compete with the 800x480 pixel display in the Nokia N800. The screen is touch-sensitive, which explains the lack of external controls (apart from the keyboard, of course).

Samsung A990: Camera Phone? Or Phone Camera?
Samsung is at it again, but this time the new phone is bound to attract both talkers and photographers alike. The problem with camera phones has always been the poor quality of images. They are certainly better than not having a camera, but camera phones aren’t anyone’s first choice for capturing those once in a lifetime photos. Thankfully, technologies have changed and we are seeing more and more companies featuring a minimum of 1.3-megapixel cameras. That said Samsung is pushing the bar for camera phones with the A990 with nothing less than a 3.2-megapixel camera. Yes, that’s the amount of photo taking power that was once popular in standalone digital cameras few years ago. [Read]

Samsung Launching i320 Smartphone in Europe Soon
Samsung has announced that the SGH-i320 will be available in Europe before the end of this month. This device is clearly this company's answer to the Motorola Q, as both have ultra-slim form factors (0.45 inches thick) and the same general design: a QWERTY keyboard below a 320-by-240-pixel display. Each also uses the the Smartphone version of Windows Mobile 5.0, so neither has a touchscreen. [Read]

It’s been making slider phones since their very conception, so Samsung had every right to be miffed when the Chocolate phone flew in from Asia and stole its thunder. Well, now it’s ready to get its thunder back with this polished new contender. Sure, the E900 isn’t as sexy, alluring or brown as LG’s fashionista, but it does have touch-sensitive keys and, more importantly, better features.
