Latest mobile models - Mobile Bloggo News 2010!

Announced for the first time on February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcellona, here are the technical specifications for the Samsung S5050. It’s a slidephone that measures 105 x 49 x 14.6mm and weighs 102 grams. It features a 2.2″ AMOLED display with the resolution of 240×320 pixels and viewing more than 16 million colors, while the photocamera has the resolution of 3.2 Megapixels with autofocus and flash.

The network connection doesn’t support 3G networks, only the EDGE protocol. The internal memory features 40MB and can be expanded through microSDHC cards. Also included are the FM radio and bluetooth. The availability is set to end June for the price of €168.

It’s very low quality, it doesn’t show much, but above you can see the first image for the new Samsung C5510. It’s a new slidephone from Samsung that has yet to be announced. Some of the first specifications include:

- 2.2″ display with the resolution of 240×320 pixels and viewing more than 260.000 colors
- Integrated FM radio
- Multimedia player

Nothing really that astonishing for now. We’ll probably have to wait for the official announcement to get more details anyway.

Samsung finally announces their S5200 model, with prices, launch date and complete technical specifications. It’s a slidephone with a 3.2 Megapixel photocamera with auto-focus, LED flash, smile recognition, face detection and panoramic mode. It’s compatible with EDGE and also features bluetooth, FM radio, 50MB internal memory and support to MicroSDHC up to 8GB.

The Samsung S5200 will be launched in Russia in June, for €230, and it should be available in the rest of Europe shortly after.

The guys from Engadget managed to get their hands on a new BlackBerry Storm 2, which could mean that a June launch isn’t that absurd.

Known as “BlackBerry Odin”, the first noticeable thing about the Storm 2 is the lack of the SurePress clickable screen, replaced by a haptic feedback touchscreen. RIM’s choice is somewhat strange, due to the success of the clickable screen, but it could be simply a prototype. We’ll have to see once it launches.

In the meantime, the video hands-on is at the beginning of the post. Enjoy!

The manufacturing of “economic” cellphones continues, and one of the manufacturers to release a few numbers of these models is Samsung. This time, it’s the T239’s turn, which will be launched only in the USA for now.

It’s a slidephone measuring 96 x 47.50 x 17mm and with a display that has a resolution of 177×220 pixels, with a modest VGA photocamera.

The rest of the technical specifications don’t reveal anything extraordinary, more common things such as bluetooth and a 10MB internal memory, which actually suit the economic market range.

It will be sold with T-Mobile for $59.99, without the need of a contract.

After reading the first informations and watching the first video about it, now it’s time to know a little more about the Samsung Galaxy i7500, a new device that will use Google’s Operational System, Android. It measures 115 x 56 x 11.9 mm, has a 3.2″ AMOLED touchscreen display with the resolution of 320×480 pixels, and a photocamera with 5 megapixels, autofocus and LED flash.

The connectivity is done through the HSDPA protocol up to 7.2mbps. The internal memory features 8 GB and it’s expandable through microSD cards. Wi-Fi, integrated GPS and bluetooth are also included. The disponibility is scheduled to start in July in France, although the price hasn’t yet been announced.

Always on the entry-level market, AT&T will start selling the new Samsung SGH-T349, a candybar with half-QWERTY keyboard. It measures 114 x 50 x 13.5mm, with a 2.2″ display that has the resolution of 176×220 pixels and viewing more than 260.000 colors. The photocamera has the modest resolution of 1.3 Megapixels.

It supports EDGE and GPRS connections, but the good part of this model is the battery duration: 7 hours in conversation and 300 hours in standby. The availability is only for the USA, for the price of $149,99 without contract and $14,99 with a 2-year contract.

It seems that after a failed initial launch date, there’s a new date established for the launching of the Palm Pre, the new Palm smartphone that is expected to be the turning point for the company.

In order to ease the hype around the product, the New York Times has published an article, citing that people “briefed on the company’s plans” have declared that the new launch date has been established in June. Quoting from the article:

“But the season’s most compelling phone drama will start the first week in June, when Sprint will begin selling the Palm Pre…”

True or not? Well, the New York Times is a valid newspaper, but we will wait for official confirmation in any case and label it as a rumor.

It seems that the launch of the Touch Pro II, the new smartphone from HTC featuring Windows MObile, touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard is close by, at least when it comes to the UK market.

Expansys UK has updated their pre-order page for the Touch Pro II with a date: June 12th. We will have to wait for more news from HTC, and it’s worth reminding you all that this smartphone will allow updates on the software when Windows Mobile 6.5 comes.

The Cellphone world is quickly following the trend on the computer world with a fast model evolution. That’s how the Samsung Jack i637 was born. It’s a new candybar that should replace the BlackJack model, and besides having a QWERTY keyboard, it also features a display with the resolution of 320×240 pixels, and a photocamera with the resolution of 3.2 Megapixels.

The 3G networks are supported and also the Wi-Fi, and the internal memroy is expandable through microSDHC cards. The model should be available from May 19th on the USA, exclusively with AT&T with a two-year contract.
