FCC has given us this weekend, its first news about a phones to be launched in the next coming months by Samsung. It will be called the Samsung C3110, a relatively easy to use phone with very simple features, but with the added convenience of Bluetooth connectivity as well as an FM radio for music on the go.
The Samsung GT-C3110 is characterized by the body with a sliding keyboard, which measures 99.3 x 47.6 x 15.2 mm with a weight of 95.3 grams. The features are almost identical to the Samsung SGH-D500, with a 1.3 megapixel camera, a display from 176 x 220 points and Bluetooth. Sadly, on high-speed Internet surfing and video will have to forget – the unit does not support 3G communications. Information about the price and release date of new items were not yet available.
LG has unveiled its latest T-DMB mobile TV-enabled phone called LU1400 in Korea. The LU1400 has a wide swiveling screen 2.8 inch LCD with 800×480 pixels resolution (as good as 8 inch netbook), 3 megapixels camera, and one-icon quick access., that displays the videos in landscape mode.
As the phone is being launched for its own LG Telecom–Korean third largest operator–it is no doubt that the phone carries CDMA network technology with CDMA2000 EV-DO Revision A to be specific. read more…
Walmart officially confirmed rumors on Friday that iPhone 3G will be available for sale at nearly 2,500 store locations beginning Sunday, December 28, 2008. Walmart will blast out the black 8 GB iPhone 3G model for $197 and the 16 GB black or white model for $297 with a new two-year AT&T service agreement qualified upgrade required. According to Mac Rumors, they have received training material and advertising from a source connected with Walmart that lists only the 8GB iPhone 3G. This would therefore be the same model on offer at Best Buy, AT&T and of course Apple Stores, only Walmart would apparently be selling the handset for $197: two dollars less than the standard MRSP.
Add everything up, and the regular $199 iPhone 3G will cost at least somewhere between $2033.76 and about $2700 over a 2-year period, depending on where you live and which taxes and fees apply and assuming that you will stay within the limits of your voice plan. In a best case, the Walmart price translates into a 0.1% discount.
Rumor is going crazy about what Apple will announce in next January’s Macworld.There are already iPhone Nano imitators hitting the streets of Southeast Asia, and it’s pretty ridiculous when you think about it – knocking off a product that hasn’t even been announced. Definitely this one will have “Made in China†label, but truthfully it is definitely inspired by the information about the upcoming small-sized iPhone. The fake one even have the Apple logo in the back cover to make it look as official as possible.
The rumors have been fueled by images of an XSKN case released for the iPhone nano, with dimensions roughly 20 percent shorter and slightly thinner than the 3G model. The company had accurately predicted the current iPod touch and Nano devices before any formal announcement by Apple.
BlackBerry maker Research In Motion is looking at something new in the mobile phone line, and that is a mobile handset that has a keypad with wings and have filed a patent for such. Â In the original position it looks like a normal alphanumeric keypad and then there are two hinges on the left and right edges that open to reveal four columns of keys (two on each side) that would convert it into a QWERTY keypad.
The phone is definitely slimmer which means some of that keyboard has to sit under the display. The new keypad is weird to say the least. When will we be able to try one of those?
