We won't see it here for a while, according to the final specs posted by GPSAndCO. The problem is that it will be a TriBand GSM phone -- lacking a necessary band to get the phone up and running here in the states. It's a real pity, too, because we like it: Windows Mobile 6 Professional (read: touchscreen) 320x320 screen A-GPS WiFi Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0 Funny mouse-pointer doo-dad...
Given that the Samsung SCH-i760 was already kinda sorta released over a month ago, the news that it's officially available online tomorrow and in stores on November 2nd is a little underwhelming. Still, it's an intriguing form factor and the specs on the i760 are decent enough: Windows Mobile 6 EVDO WiFi Bluetooth 2.0 128 megs ROM, 64 megs RAM microSD slot Early reports have...
In our Verizon Rumor Roundup I foolishly guessed that the i760 would arrive after Verizon's other Windows Mobile devices while Phone Arena guessed September. Phone Arena might have it right, as they've just noticed that the i760 has popped up on Samsung's website, with Verizon branding, no less. Specs: -Windows Mobile 6 Professional-Bluetooth® Wireless Technology-Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g-...
Look at that hotness and tell me you don't covet it. It looks like the i600 (the internatiol version of the Samsung Blackjack) will be getting an update soon. Samsung is trading super-thin for some slider action, but I approve wholeheartedly. The specs look good - UMTS, HSDPA, WiFi, Triband GSM (900/1800/1900), Video Telephony. Sadly, it doesn't look like that's going to be the case...
Call us crazy, but we're going to try it - a leaked ROM update for the Blackjack. Looks like it indcludes HSDPA too, so it's pretty hard to turn down. A quick search should yield it for you fairly easily. Otherwise, the mere existence of this bugger should mean the official one may come sooner than we feared. if you're a BlackJack owner and don't want to wait until the official...
So we've seen now that the Samsung i760 has been approved by the FCC. That makes me pretty happy because I was fond of it when I got to handle it at CTIA. Some better news, though, is that Samsung's German division just committed itself to releasing six (count them six) windows mobile smartphones in 2007. Some of that love has got to make it's way over here. Even better (for me,...
Carousel, Samsung's custom home screen they developed for the non-US SGH-i600 (that's a Blackjack with WiFi, basically) has made the rounds before. Now that people are actually getting their hands on the little wonder, screen shots of the great interface are coming around again. Me Likee. I like it enough that I spent more time than I care to admit yesterday hunting around the web...
The update will prettify some icons, improve roaming capabilities, and erase all the data on your device (standard for a ROM update), so be sure you're confident that your data is backed up before applying the update. Samsung has released a update for the system software on the BlackJack, a Windows Mobile Smartphone exclusively offered by Cingular Wireless. Read: Samsung BlackJack...
Today was supposed to be the day for Windows Mobile 6, but after the embargo on was was broken late last week, a lot of the details are already widely known. However, that doesn't mean that there isn't a bunch of new info that you'll want to know about today. The most exciting bits: photos of WM6 running on a bunch of old and new devices - photos after the break. It appears that T-...
C|Net, apparently, doesn't think that once a year is often enough for these best and worst of lists. No, they need one every quarter. As far as US phones go, I surprised to see the IP-830w in the list. I haven't had a chance to use one myself yet, but a dual mode GSM/CDMA PocketPC super-beast seems like such a great idea. Better luck next time, Samsung, and by next time I mean with...
Here's some shiny that you won't be able to use for quite awhile, the Samsung SPH-M8100. It's a WiMax phone (hence the "quite awhile" bit) with some great features - including a tethered modem mode and a TV-Out (!) for showing off your multimedia on a big screen. Samsung Electronics presented 'Mobile Wimax MITs SPH-M8100', its new Wimax-enabled handset during Samsung Mobile Wimax...
Ok, I really like my Palm Treo 700wx. It's starting to look pretty fat to me, though, especially after I got a chance to hold the Samsung SGH-i320N. The thing is tiny. Girls Gone Mobile has a full write up on it, finding it to be capable, if not ideal. Most interesting to me is that Samsung just goes ahead and includes a spare battery in the box, basically admitting that the battery...
Infosync sure is prolific in their phone reviews. The latest - a quick little competition between the Cingular 8525 and the Samsung IP-830w. For me, it's basically apples and oranges, the 8525 is a horizontal slider on HSDPA and the IP-830w is a vertical slider on EVDO - I always prefer to choose my network before I choose my device. But if you're not that sort, you might enjoy...
