We caught up with Samsung's new SGH-i200 entry-level Windows Mobile smartphone at a Microsoft event this morning. While officially launched yesterday, details on this very conventional looking candybar handset are still quite sparse.

When a top mobile phone provider, Samsung joins forces with a top and well-renowned designer, Giorgio Armani, the results will be extraordinary as seen in their newest creation, the Samsung Armani. A designer phone with touch screen capabilities, has achieved much recognition and fame after it was launched in the United Kingdom.

The Samsung SGH-P960 is a 3G phone with a built-in DVB-H TV tuner. This sounds like a great idea, assuming that you can actually pick up a DVB-H transmission anywhere.

As is its usual custom, Samsung has made quite a killing at the GSMA World Congress. Though its announcements aren't quite as exciting as those from Nokia or Sony Ericsson, it certainly made a respectable showing. Besides its new Soul, the company also unveiled the ...

New phones are flying at us from all angles at the GSMA Mobile World Congress, and Samsung has added to the line-up with a range of handsets aimed at both the chic and the cheap. The G400 joins the E251 alongside the ladylike L310, L320 and L170, ...

Samsung announced the Samsung G810, with a 5 megapixel camera. Running Symbian OS v9.2, the Samsung G810 has HSDPA connectivity at 3.6 Mbps, allowing users to enjoy multimedia features at higher data download speeds. The phone offers users seamless connection through Wi-Fi connectivity. Based on S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, G810 users can also access a rich suite of applications on offer from the S60 applications library.

Almost every U.S. T-Mobile customer wants to know when the carrier will be activating its 3G network. After all, it is the only major carrier in the United States not to offer 3G. Though it has slowly begun introducing 3G-capable handsets, the carrier has remained maddeningly vague on when ...

At trade shows such as the GSMA World Congress, Samsung has a tendency to beat us over the head with new cell phones. At the 2008 event, Samsung didn't let us down. The company showed off almost more than 20 handsets, many of which are ...

A Samsung Android cell phone by 2009? Well, that’s what Samsung now claims. Actually, they have been a member of the Google Android Open Handset Alliance for a while now, so it may not be all that surprising.

Samsung is known to crank out phones in a hurry, so we may actually see a Samsung Android cell phone before then. Also, the company already loads a lot of their handsets with Google functionality out of the box, so it’s not a far stretch to just have an Android-based handset. I hope we see it soon!

You know we got soul -- the Samsung U900 Soul anyway, which we Craved a few days ago. Now the Soul mobile phone is joined in the Samsung range by the F480, a 3G phone with a 5-megapixel camera, autofocus and LED flash. If this looks and sounds familiar, it's not just because of the iPhone-like chrome trim, round corners and glossy screen; this model is very closely related to the P520 Armani phone, but with the designer label missing from its collar.

Today in Barcelona at the 2008 Mobile World Congress show, Samsung announced the SGH-F480 touchscreen fashion phone. This card sized phone sports a 5 megapixel camera with advanced features like auto-focus and image stabilization.

Today Samsung rolled the music focused SGH-F400, a device that features B&O's ICEpower amplifier system and a large external speaker similar to that found in the Serenata. This musical slider also sports a built-in FM radio and a 3 megapixel camera.

A dual-screen slider, the Samsung Soul has the "wow" factor needed to turn heads, and also a 5 megapixel camera. WIll this be the must-have fashion accessory of 2008?

The G810 looks to be a top of the line phone modeled in direct competition with the Nokia N95. There are actually only a handful of differences between the two feature-wise. The new G810 has just a few new features that the N95 didn’t, and it’s smaller! The GSM phone will offer a 2.6″ 262K Color display, GPS navigation, Wireless 802.11b/g connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 and speedy 3.6 Mbps HSDPA. The G810 also sports a 1200 mAh battery which is reported to have significantly longer life than that of the N95.

The T-Mobile Samsung T639 is now available in blue, olive green, red and navy blue - nationwide. The T-Mobile Samsung T639 was only available in exclusive areas up until now, mainly because it’s one of T-Mobile’s “first handsets to support UMTS on the 1700MHz AWS band, the carrier’s unique flavor of 3G that has run into its fair share of hiccups on the long road to national availability.”

The T-Mobile Samsung T639 will run you $50 after rebates and 2 year contract. So, pick up your new blue, olive green, red or navy blue colorful handset today.

InfoSync reviews the Helio Samsung Heat: “The Helio Samsung Heat is better in some areas, and in other ways cannot measure up to the Drift. Video performance, with full screen landscape mode, is a bit better, though we miss stereo Bluetooth support on videos. We also liked the music store as well, which is new since our review of the Drift, though is also available now on that phone. The Helio Samsung Heat is also smaller than the Drift, though the latter phone was not large by any stretch. Unfortunately, the touch-sensitive buttons on the Helio Samsung Heat are truly a failure of design. In the few days we’ve had the phone, we’ve rarely had success using the buttons. They almost never registered our taps the first time, though they often activated when we brushed them accidentally. They locked too quickly when we needed them, to make 3-way calls, for instance, or using them as music keys. If the Helio Samsung Heat had the normal buttons found on the Drift, it would be the better phone, but we can’t recommend it considering the problems we had with the buttons.”

The Samsung Soul is latest in the Ultra line of handsets. It doesn’t look like it but Soul (Spirit of Ultra) marks the end of the Samsung Ultra Phones. This came as a surprise to this blogger because I’ve always imagined the Ultra line as an indirect rival of the Nseries phone and I assumed Samsung was just starting.

The Soul reminds me of the Nokia 6500 Slider, with the similar brushed metal exterior and a form factor that is unmistakably fashionable. The look understates what this phone is capable of: 5 MP camera, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and an innovtion called Magical Touch by DaCP where the keypad indicators change according to the users needs.

The Soul will be formally announced at the Mobile World Congress.

Samsung Soul Launched | Add your Comments

The Samsung Soul was announced today. The Samsung Soul will be shown off officially in Barcelona at the MWC event. It’s a very sleek, good looking handset. The new phone actually has a striking resemblance to the LG Shine, plus a touch D-pad of course. It’ll be exciting if we can just get this one over here in North America!

PhoneArena has more on the Samsung Soul: “The innovations here start with the 5-megapixel camera added on the back of the phone. It has auto focus and face detection. We note the presence of a touch D-pad, instead of a regular one. Soul adapts to its owner and by using the phone’s “Magical Touch” technology, the navigation indicators on the pad change, according to the current mode, preferred by the user. For example if you are browsing the web, icons used to navigate through Internet pages will appear. When the radio is turned on, the tuning buttons will appear etc. The Samsung Soul offers three graphic interface options for the users, allowing them to create their own skins also. It is a quad-band/HSDPA 7.2Mbps, with a microSD slot and support for mobile blogging / RSS reader.”

Today Samsung announced the new Soul slider, a phone that will make its press debut at the 2008 Mobile World Congress next week. The Soul marks the end of road for Samsung's Ultra series of cell phones.

New flagship sets hearts a flutter.

Samsung makes a good PDA phone a little better, with subtle changes in design and componentsSamsung took almost everything about the first BlackJack and turned it up a notch, making a good PDA phone a little better.

Samsung proceeds to improve its camcorder offers with the add-on of the advanced HD flash-based camcorder SC HMX20C having full HD and a1080p mode with 30 frames-per-second recording potentiality.

The SC-HMX20C’s flash-based conception creates these camcorder compact and easy-to-use. With an enclosed tailing station, users will find it simple to not entirely charge the SC-HMX20C, only utilise the HDMI input and component part connectivity to well eyeshot home movies directly on an HDTV.

Samsung’s trademarked swivel grip makes it potential to record from multiple angles, admitting regular and low-angle shots, though the 2.7-inch wide-aspect touchscreen liquid crystal display makes editing on the fly at ease. The 8GB of built-in flash store helps guarantee that nothing is lost for lack of space and users also have the alternative of recording onto high-capacity SDHC/MMC+ cards thru the another card slot.

Having an HDMI-CEC (Anynet+) superiority connection to high-definition television* and other devices, the SC-HMX20C features a 6.4-megapixel CMOS with electronic image stabilization so even action-packed scenes get through with clearness.

Today Samsung announced a new addition to the Ultra Edition range called the Samsung Soul. The Soul will be properly shown off at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week and we're definitely looking forward to getting our sticky, cake-stained hands on it. Packed with HSDPA that can reach speeds of up to 7.2Mbps and a 5-megapixel camera, you might forgive the Soul for being a little chunky, but it only measures 13mm thick and comes in a tough metal casing.

AT&T today announced plans to complete its HSUPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access) network by the middle of the year. The AT&T 3G network now delivers typical downlink speeds ranging between 600 kbps to 1.4 Mbps, as well as faster uplink speeds, ranging from 500 and 800 kbps.

The deployment of HSUPA this year is the next step in the evolution of AT&T's 3G network, with further enhancements and speed boosts expected in the near future.

"Fast wireless broadband is the foundation for a whole range of new and emerging applications that our customers are adopting, including everything from social networking to sending live video and large business files," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO for AT&T's wireless unit. "With these aggressive initiatives, we're expanding the scope and the speed of our 3G capabilities, connecting people with their world and enabling more customers to do more with their wireless devices, wherever they may be.

This year's HSUPA deployment will complete the transition of the AT&T 3G network to High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) standards.
