Samsung I900 spotted, pics and brief specs    [ 19-05-2008 22:56 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: Unwiredview     Translation by: Administrator     

We knew little about the Samsung I900, when it was announced, along with a plethora of other handsets a while back. We now have the known technical specifications, and some live pictures to boot.

Technical specifications are as follows:

• 3.5G HSDPA connectivity
• Windows Mobile 6.1 OS
• 3.5″ 240×400 pixels touchscreen, showing up to 262 K colours
• 5 megapixel autofocus camera, with front-facing camera for video calling
• Memory: 16GB internal, with Micro SDHC card slot, supporting up to 8GB
• 1500mAh battery
• Dimensions: 112x56x13mm
• Extras: FM Radio, TV-Out, Bluetooth 2.2, A2DP and Wi-Fi

As you can see from the image above, it seems Samsung has opted not to add its own UI enhancements, like HTC have done.

LG and Samsung join up to promote Mobile TV standard in the US    [ 19-05-2008 15:02 ]

Author: Serge Novikov   Source: vunet     Translation by: Administrator     

Korean handset rivals LG and Samsung have announced a partnership, to push their newly developed Mobile TV standard, to the Advanced Television Systems Committee in Northern America. They are doing this in the hope that their technology will be the de facto in North America. The standard by the two companies uses the existing terrestrial digital TV broadcast bandwidth, so it does not affect on the current digital TV, and its broadcasting equipment investment is kept simple, which hasn't been the case with Mobile TV in the past.

Sony Ericsson P5 seen once again    [ 19-05-2008 13:53 ]

Author: Serge Novikov     Translation by: Administrator     

Sony Ericsson's all-in-one unannounced smartphone – the P5 has been seen one again – now with much more clearer images. Also, for more images of the P5's interface and casing, visit this topic in our forums.

Let us once again run over the known specs:

• UIQ 3.3 OS 5 megapixel camera, with autofocus, and flash
  
• 2.6 inch display (320 x 240 pixels presumably)
  
• Memory: 128MB RAM, M2 memory card slot
  
• Extras: Touch sensitive keys, QWERTY rocker-style keypad, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS

Apparently, the P5's 5mp camera is not up to standard, but may be fixed in the final firmware, also GPS performance is currently said to be mediocre. The touch-sensitive keys provide shortcuts to applications. The processor is the same 208 MHz processor, seen in the P990 nearly a year and a half ago.
