The Mobile World Congress is the most important event when it comes to the mobile phone industry. The next year’s event, as it was revealed by John Hoffman, will be held from February 14th to February 17th, always in Barcellona.

The last Mobile World Congress saw a boom of new touchscreen smartphones, so we’ll have to wait and see what next year’s event will bring.

We’ve had the chance of seeing the quality of the Super AMOLED display created by Samsung. Now the company has revealed another smartphone that will feature that technology, the i8330 H2. It’ll be exclusive to Vodafone, at least at first.

The Samsung i8330 H2 has a touchscreen display with the resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, a 8 megapixel photocamera with autofocus and flash, capable of recording HD videos, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi support, integrated GPS and a Cortex A8 processor with 1GHz.

Incoming news for the mobile world: Yahoo has announced an press conference in which the company will speak more about their new mobile services. The event will happen in a few hours, and rumors claim that Nokia will be one of Yahoo’s partners for one of their projects.

Unfortunately for now, that’s all the news we have. We’ll stay tuned and share more info as soon as we have it.

It seems that most smartphones are slowly becoming like mini-tablets. Samsung, for example, has announced the new i8920 Omnia HD2, a device with a 4″ display and resolution of 640 x 360 pixels (still to be confirmed) with SuperAMOLED technology.

The photocamera features 12 Megapixels and Xenon and LED flash, and it’s capable of recording HD videos at 720p resolution. Also featured : GPS, Wi-Fi, BlueTooth 3.0 and an internal memory of 16 or 32 GB.

Price and availability haven’t been revealed yet.

During the past days, we’ve had the chance of knowing about the new LG Ally, shown for the first time during the release of Iron Man 2 and with some specifications revealed afterwards. Today we can see a video-review made by the guys from PhoneDog.com, that confirms the specifications seen before.

During the weekend, a new Windows Phone 7 ROM has been revealed by XDA Developers, and together with it, they found interesting information. It seems that the ROM was identified as coming from a device called HTC Mondrian.

The forum members decided to study the ROM in a deeper level and reveal some interesting specifications, among which the image above that could probably be a rendering of the phone. This HTC Mondrian should have a 4.3″ display with the resolution of 480 x 800, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.3 Ghz QSD8650A/B (that supports UMTS and 3G CDMA) and a compass. It’s possible that it won’t feature a physical keyboard.

We’ll wait for more information, as usual.

The guys from Mobility Digest have presented a brief video where we can see the transition effects in the new Windows Phone 7 OS. The video also shows the 3D engine present on the OS, but perhaps the most interesting thing in the video concerns the transitions used on the Associated Press application.

More news from Sharp when it comes to the 3D MObile. Not too long ago, there was a presentation of a 3D Display for mobile phones, and now Sharp has announced a module that features a photo-videocamera capable of taking high definition pictures in 3D.

The module has two cameras, which work in synch and organized in a way to make possible for the user to take 3D pictures. It seems Sharp does believe in this market, and we’ll have to wait and see how it works. The first phones with the module will be available from July on, and a mass-manufacturing should start by the end of this year.

After Nokia and Google, now it’s Microsoft’s turn to release an application that allows Windows Mobile owners to use GPS navigation without any extra fees, at least for the main software.

Only available at the USA for now, the application calculates the route and gives vocal instructions, allowing the user to choose which roads to take in order to avoid paying tolls, for example. The update should be available through the mobile phone, by accessing the m.bing.com address.

Microsoft has released the latest builds for the Windows Phone 7 in the Windows Phone developer tool, so it’s not really a secret. But in any case, a developer has shown a few screenshots to demonstrate how the OS looks like.

We can see a Zune-like interface and a very clean design. We’ve chosen a few of the screenshots for you. Enjoy!
