Maybe you remember when Samsung announced the Samsung Propel Pro. Along with this handset, two other cell phones were revealed to the public, and I’m talking about the Samsung Magnet and the Samsung Impression. It seems that the latter is available for being purchased.
The most impressive features of the new Samsung cell phone consist of the 3.2 inch AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and a full QWERTY keyboard.

But this isn’t everything about it. And let’s see what the South-Korean has prepared for us: a quad band GSM connectivity, dual band HSDPA connectivity (850 / 1900 MHz), a 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, an internal memory of 190 MB, which is a little bit disappointing, and a microSD card slot.
The phone measures approximately 4.48 x 2.28 x 0.61 inches and weighs 5.3 ounces, providing up to 3 hours of talk time and no more than 250 hours of stand-by time.
If you’re interested in the Samsung Impression, you can buy it from
AT&T’s official website for an amount of $199.99. But, in order to get this price, you’ll have to be willing to sign a 2 year contract agreement. This way, you’ll obtain a $50 mail-in rebate, using the AT&T Promotion Card. If, on the other hand, you don’t want a contract agreement, the phone is available for $399.99.

There were so many rumors about the Nokia E71x up until today that it seems that the handset has been here since forever. The phone was seen for the first time at the end of last year, sometime in November, but this is the day we’ve all been waiting for. AT&T decided to make it official, even if the Nokia E71x is still unavailable to be purchased.
Part of the S60 Eseries, you can already find the smartphone on the official website of the North American carrier, but, for the moment, it is labeled with the following words: “coming soonâ€. This means that, most probably, the E71x will become available in the next couple of weeks.

If looking very good at this new handset, you’ll realize that there’s not much of a difference, when compared to the E71 that is currently sold by Nokia USA, besides the black case.
The phone was announced along with several other handsets, like the Samsung Propel Pro, Samsung Impression and Samsung Magnet, LG Xenon and LG Neon. This is “a fresh new lineup of smartphones and quick messaging phones that make it easier for customers to message with friends and family and manage their business and personal lives on the goâ€.
The Nokia E71x is said to be the thinnest smartphone on the market and runs on the S60 Symbian operating system. Being 10 millimeters thin, it comes with Wi-Fi, lots of applications based on the Symbian and popular AT&T services (including the AT&T Navigator).
If you’re willing to sign a 2-year contract agreement with the North American carrier, then you’ll get a very good price for the phone: $99, after a mail-in rebate, compared to the $359, the no-contract price.

Music addicts can never have enough alternatives when it comes to their music centric cell phones. This is why manufacturers should always keep an eye on this segment and take good care of their interests. And here we have a phone that was kind of neglected by everyone, but it seems that Motorola decided – finally, if I might say so – to officially release it. It’s the Motorola EM300 (also known as Ischia), a cell phone focused on music features that music lovers aren’t willing to live without.
Back in July 2008, the phone was approved by FCC, a piece of good news for the manufacturer, but since then, there was no word about the EM300 anymore. Because time has passed and left its mark on the phone, the device isn’t the same, now that it’s ready to hit the American market.

The features list includes the following: a touch-sensitive external screen, an 1.3 megapixel camera with video capabilities, tri band EDGE, stereo Bluetooth, Crystal Talk technology, FM radio with RDS, “3D Sound†Surround-sound quality, 3.5mm headphone jack, EQ provided with 11 pre-set genres that are included, the dedicated music key, an internal memory of only 20MB and, of course, a microSD card support for external memory of no more than 2GB.
This new Motorola music phone is expected to start selling in the second quarter of 2009 via AT&T.

Websites never waste a chance in their attempt to catch the readers’ attention, so they try to take an advantage from any rumor thay might arise from all sorts of suppositions. Therefore, here we go with some new rumors, this time reffering to a new Samsung slider phone that is going to hit the market. You’ll be able to see the A877, also known as Jackfrost, on AT&T’s shelves, starting March 29th.
I said “also known as Jackfrostâ€, because it looks very much like the mysterious Jackfrost, that it was said to be released sometimes this month.
The new Samsung slider phone is reported to come equipped with the following features: a 3.2 inches WQVGA AMOLED touchscreen, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3 megapixel camera with geo-tagging, quad band EDGE/GSM, dual band HSDPA (1900/850), Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, full HTML browser, TouchWiz interface, AT&T Navigator and MP3 player.

As you can easily see for yourselves, the features list is quite impressive. But the specs are not the only ones to be nice, as the design of the phone is also able to amaze us. Therefore, there is no doubt about the fact that this is an intersting rumor, after all, even if it’s still… nothing but a rumor. The great thing is that in no more than two weeks we’ll know whether this one comes true or not.

Pantech USA, a subsidiary of Pantech Group, which is a very important Korean mobile manufacturer, announced that a brand new mobile phone is already available. Launched under the name of C630, the device is expected to start selling on 12 December, meaning today, being offered by the US carrier AT&T.

While other companies decided to reveal all sorts of expensive high-end cell phones right before Christmas, Pantech USA thinks that the best way for them to gain more and more customers is to give them what they most want: a well-equipped handset sold with an affordable price.
The candybar features lots of multimedia functionalities, allowing its users to choose from GPS, music, chat and video. I’m sure you all know that big things can always come in small packages, so the C360’s most popular features can easily be managed, including text, IM multimedia messaging, GPS navigation and music. As far as the navigation is concerned, you’ll have the chance to use advanced functions with aGPS for turn-by-turn directions, using an AT&T service, the Navigator. When it comes to entertainment, the C630 is compatible with a variety of digital music formats.

The mobile phone is made from mixed materials, being provided with a rubberized back-panel, with a mirrored screen, not to mention the joystick pad. It measures 4 x 1 (length x depth) and features the following specifications: 3G support, the aGPS that I was earlier talking about and that allows the use of AT&T Navigator, microSD card support, 1.3 megapixel camera and two other AT&T multimedia services, Video Share and Mobile Music.
“The C630 is a little phone with big functionalityâ€, said Patrick Beattie, vice president of sales and marketing at Pantech Wireless, Inc. “We packed a lot in this device while working to keep the price affordable. Pantech believes that advanced functionality can be available for all levels of usersâ€.
The Pantech C630 was said to become available starting today on AT&T’s official website, being sold for $39.99, with a two-year contract and mail-in rebate. Even if this new mobile phone that Pantech USA is offering all of you doesn’t come with a QWERTY keyboard, you might still be impressed by its affordable price.
