Remember the Samsung t239 I was telling you about a couple of days ago? If you do, then you must know that it’s a cheap cell phone that is going to be sold via T-Mobile USA sometime in the near future, shortly after the release of the Samsung t349, one cheaper than the other.

Now, there’s another Samsung device to be expected to become available in the next couple of months through T-Mobile USA shops is called the Samsung Spark t749, which is, compared to the models I mentioned earlier, a mid-end cell phone.



This device has just obtained the FCC approval, being a 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE and a 1700 WCDMA device, equipped with the Bluetooth connectivity, which means the t749 will be part of the 3G range of cell phones offered by T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we don’t have much information at our disposal, if there will be a touch sensitive display involved or not, because the only thing we’ve got right now is the sketch you saw above provided by FCC.

However, the least we expect to see on the board of the Samsung t749 includes the integrated assisted GPS with TeleNav and a 3 megapixel camera.

Due to the fact that we don’t have more details for the moment, it’s understandable that we don’t know when the phone is going to hit the market. But what we know for sure is that the t740 is on the list of future T-Mobile phones.

And now the news imply two other important names that are involved in the cell phone realm, and I’m talking about Motorola and Android, the famous Google platform that was so very talked about in the past couple of months.

It’s still a mystery whether Motorola is going to have an Android-based cell phone or not, but there are rumors about the so-called Motorola Heron, also known as Iron Man, that is said to come equipped with the Google operating system. So, if you’re an Android fan, you should know that AT&T is keen on offering you the famous mobile platform.



Maybe you already read (I think it was a month ago or so) about the Heron and the fact that it was prepared to be unveiled, but at the time there weren’t many technical details available. But here we have a full list of features of the Motorola Heron: a large 2.8 inch display with touch sensitive capabilities (it can be used for browsing and viewing media files), a QWERTY keypad that slides, an integrated GPS and assisted GPS, email, such as POP3, IMAP4, Pocket Outlook, Exchange ActiveSync, GMM, a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR Class 2, microUSB 2.0, 256MB Flash, 128MB RAM and a microSD card slot for no more than 32GB of external memory.



The new Motorola cell phone measures 57.5 x 104 x 15.9 millimeters and weighs approximately 125 grams. The AT&T news are completed with a release date that is said to be sometime in November, this year, but it’s not a certain one.

In the past couple of weeks Nokia focused its attention on its range of mid-end phones, but also on the low-end ones, which is a good thing in the present context, when everything is unstable and quite alarming for the mankind.

I’m not sure whether Samsung is following the Finnish company’s footsteps, but one thing’s for sure: the South Korean company has made up its mind and we will get to see more and more such devices, because, after all, cheap doesn’t have to necessarily be bad.



So, the latest Samsung cellular phones that have made their appearance on the Web these days are the S6700 and the C5510. Both of them are slider cell phones that are expected to start selling sometime during this summer.



The first one is the Samsung S6700, which resembles very much the S7350 model, which you might have seen back in February, when the device was unveiled. The phone comes with a 2.4 inch TFT display (it doesn’t have touch sensitive capabilities) with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels and 16 million colors.



Other specs include quad band GSM connectivity, HSDPA, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, FM radio with RDS, an internal memory of no more than 120MB and microSDHC card slot for expandable memory.

The credit for the live picture of the S6700 should be given to GSM Help Desk.

As for the second handset, the Samsung C5510 is interesting enough, due to its internal memory of 512MB, which is quite a lot, especially for a low-end phone. The other features include quad band GSM connectivity, a 2.2 inch QVGA display with 262k colors, then a music player for music addicts and FM radio with RDS.

Enough is enough. I hope you didn’t expect me to give you a number or two (the prices, I mean), because I won’t. Not because I don’t want to, but because I do not have this information at my disposal. Not yet.

It’s a great thing that we finally have the chance to see a cell phone that isn’t to be offered in the United States by Verizon Wireless, AT&T or T-Mobile USA, because it’s like all the good things are aimed at these providers and these providers only. It’s understandable, I agree. I would also like to have my product sold by famous providers, if I were in their place. But the world must not be reduced to these ones and that’s for sure.

Samsung, for example, has just made a very interesting announcement, concerning a brand new device that became available during this week via U.S. Cellular. The phone I’m talking about is called Samsung Gloss u440, but you might find it quite familiar at first sight. What you should know is that if it does, it’s logical, because the same phone is available in Canada since last year, but there it was baptized under the name of Samsung Cleo.



Taking the design into consideration, the phone will surely be aimed at the “fashion-forward customers”, being a Samsung flip phone equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2.2 inch TFT internal display with a CIF resolution, of 352 x 288 pixels most probably, but we don’t know for sure, and an external one, which is a little bit smaller.



Other features include an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, a music player, 16GB of external memory, which people can use in order to store pictures, music or videos, easyedge, namely a number of wireless data application services provided by U.S. Cellular, Tone Room, which is a ringtone shop and City ID (an improved version of the Caller ID).



The phone measures 2.55 x 2.94 x 0.82 inches and it is available in two color versions: pink and charcoal. Unfortunately, the price is still unknown for the moment.

“Customers are looking for more out of their cell phones every day”, said Alan D. Ferber, the Chief Marketing Officer at U.S. Cellular. He further added that: “The Samsung Gloss offers a full QWERTY keyboard for easy texting as well as a built in camera and music player to make this phone a unique all-in-one device”.

I don’t know whose fault is that and I honestly don’t care very much about it, because it might be that someone did this on purpose, but we’ve been blessed with a great number of leaked photos of devices that are expected to become available via AT&T in the near future. And the great thing is that these devices are coming from a wide variety of manufacturers, Nokia being also included.

The Finnish company is said to prepare four new phones to be launched via AT&T, which is the second American carrier. For those who were afraid that AT&T was in danger of satisfying itself with the E71x, here you have the proof that you have more than one reason to be the happiest human beings on earth.



The Nokia Mako slider comes with the following features: a 2.4 inch TFT display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900 MHz, a 2 megapixel HP camera with 4x digital zoom, assisted GPS and support for AT&T Navigator, a dedicated GPS key for easy access, multi-tasking key to change between the applications that are open, full QWERTY keyboard, automatic landscape/portrait display orientation, music player, media player, video playback, Video Exchange, Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP and USB 2.0, an internal memory of 128MB.



The Mako measures 96 x 54 x 15 millimeters and weighs 125 grams. As for the operating system, it runs on the 3.2 version of the Symbian S60. As you can easily see for yourselves, the Mako is said to become available sometime in June, which seems rather impossible. But come on, guys, give them some credit, would you please?

Let’s give some warm applause to the Nokia Grouper, a flip phone that is equipped with an 2.2 inch QVGA internal display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, a 1.3 inch external display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, a 2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, external music controls, video share calling, Bluetooth 2.1 A2DP connectivity and Hi-Speed USB 2.0, 2.5mm headphone jack, assistaed GPS, video playback, an internal memory of 70MB and microSD card slot. The phone measures 97 x 47 x 16 millimeters and weighs 112 grams. The release date is said to be at the end of July.



And now let’s welcome the Nokia Snapper, a phone that comes with quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900/2100, a 2.0 inch TFT internal display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, a 1.36 inch TFT display with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels, a 2.0 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, external music keys, video share calling, a dedicated camera key and zoom keys that support the landscape mode, Bluetooth 2.1 w/A2DP and USB 2.0, assisted GPS, video playback, stereo 2.5mm headphone jack, integrated hands free speaker, an internal memory of 70MB and microSD card slot. This one, on the other hand, will be released on August 7.



Last, but not least, here you have the Nokia Thresher, a slide equipped with a 2.4 inch TFT display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, a 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x smooth digital zoom and integrated flash, full focus, assisted GPS and AT&T Navigator, a 360 degree optical joystick which helps the user navigate maps and to browse, dedicated camera and zoom keys (there’s also support for the landscape mode), music player, Bluetooth 2.1 (stereo), uplink noise cancellation, an internal memory of 140MB and external memory through memory cards. This one is expected to hit the market starting September 18th.
