Samsung Galaxy Note is coming to Verizon as the Galaxy Journal?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Note
Arguably, one can say that Verizon managed to do right by forgetting about the Samsung Galaxy S II, seeing that they eventually brought along the Samsung Galaxy Nexus before anyone else. Even though the exclusivity is short lived because Sprint is bound to start selling its own version soon, it simply goes to show how Verizon is willing to go above and beyond its rivals to get the best devices onto its lineup.
Well folks, it seems that we’ll be seeing that same mentality because the rumors point to the possibility of Big Red getting its own version of the ridiculously large smartphone in the Samsung GALAXY Note – yeah, the same one coming to AT&T officially. According to the rumors spewing ...

Owners report that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is plagued by random reboots
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY NexusGALAXY Nexus CDMA
We’re not arguing about it, but it must surely be wonderful being the Samsung Galaxy Nexus – considering that it’s the sole device on the market available right now packing Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Being the coveted smartphone it is, we’re all going to instinctively watch everything that goes on with it like a hawk, but as we know, it’s usually the problems that tend to stick out more than others. Already, we’ve reported about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and its maddening volume control issue back in November, but this time around, it seems yet another issue is plaguing the venerable device. Although it apparently seems to be more widespread with the GSM flavored Galaxy Nexus, even Veriz...

Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Tab get security nod, certified for government agencies
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsungGalaxy S IIGALAXY Tab 10.1GALAXY Tab 10.1 LTE
We didn't have much to complain about when it came to Samsung's flagship phone and tablet, so we're glad to see that both the Galaxy S II and Tab 10.1 have managed to jump through the requisite hoops for FIPS certification. The business-centric feature means that both Samsung devices have been given the thumbs up for use in governmental agencies and other similarly stickler-for-the-rule industries. While the Tab 10.1 certainly isn't the first tablet to receive the certification, it's perhaps the most pervasive.

Something “wonderful” coming from Samsung to Europe, and it will not be the Samsung Focus S
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungFocus S
Professeur Thibault has tapped his sources in France and confirmed that the Samsung Focus S will never come to Europe.
Apparently this is due to carriers feeling the handsets bears too close a resemblance to the incredibly popular Samsung Galaxy S 2, and they did not need the same handset running Windows Phone 7 (heaven forbid they give us a choice of operating system).
All hope is however not lost. The same source said Samsung had other Windows Phones at it’s roadmap, with original design, and that these “should be wonderful".

Samsung GALAXY Nexus looks like it has seen a ghost
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Earlier this month, we told you that U.K. retailer Clove was taking pre-orders for the Samsung GALAXY Nexus in white. Now, thanks to the dudes and dudettes at AndroidHD Blog, we have pictures of the pale version of the device to show you. In case you were wondering (and we know you were), only the back and sides of the phone are white and the front is still black as on the original release.
While originally, the white Samsung GALAXY Nexus was to appear in the U.K. the week of February 6th, the latest info says that the handset will be available the week of March 6th. Pricing will be the same as the original "titanium silver" unit. As we pointed out before, this model is the GSM version of th...

A Samsung source has said that the company is open to the possibility of an alliance with rival manufacturer Olympus.
Although Samsung has previously declared it isn't interesting in buying up the Olympus camera business, it is considering a partnership with the company in other areas.

All white Samsung Galaxy Tabs emerge in Vietnam

Samsung has released white versions of several of the company’s mobile devices lately. While the back of the various devices would be white, the front bezel around the screen typically remained black — that is, until now. It would appear that Samsung has been working on a white bezel to integrate into the company’s future milky-colored devices; a white Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus have emerged in Vietnam and feature truly all white design. The specs of the Tab 10.1 and Tab 7.0 Plus remain unchanged, reports claim. No pricing or availability details have been announced.

Samsung plans tweaked Galaxy Tab 7.0N to skirt Apple patent complaints
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGalaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Samsung is reportedly planning to launch a tweaked version of its Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus tablet in Germany. The Galaxy Tab 7.0N will likely offer many of the same features of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus but with design changes that could help it avoid litigation from Apple. Apple and Samsung have been butting heads in courtrooms around the globe and Apple last year successfully banned Samsung’s local subsidiaries from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1. As a result, Samsung launched the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, which has also been the subject of ongoing patent litigation. The Galaxy Tab 7.0N is expected to cost about $770 without carrier subsidies.

Unknown Samsung device gets Wi-Fi certification, could be Galaxy Note successor
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsSamsung
A couple of mysterious Samsung devices were just spotted in the Wi-Fi Alliance's database after receiving Wi-Fi certification – the Samsung GT-N8000 and GT-N8013. What we are dealing with here is not quite clear, but let us put on our deerstalker, take out our magnifying glass, and make a prediction backed up by some old-fashioned logic. So, the device with a model number closest to the ones listed is the Samsung Galaxy Note, also known as the GT-N7000. That said, it could be that the two new devices have quite a lot to do with it. On one hand, these two new model numbers may belong to a Galaxy Note successor. But on the other hand, a Galaxy Note successor might carry a GT-N7100 model name, ...

Samsung Mandel, 4G LTE Windows Phone, fails to show up at CES
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Nokia’s Lumia 900 may have received a ton of attention at CES this year, but it was just one of two Windows Phones that AT&T announced, the other being the 16 megapixel packing HTC Titan II. Impressive as both those devices may be, we were expecting to see a third Windows Phone with 4G LTE show up at CES from Samsung. According to a user agent profile discovered by Pocketnow, there’s a device called that Samsung SGH-i667 that exists somewhere in the wild. Said device is codenamed Mandel, and it’s rumored to be the successor to the Samsung Focus S, which was released just two months ago. Specification wise it’s going to be just like every other Windows Phone running Mango, and it’s supposedly...

Samsung considering more advanced CSC

Samsung is considering producing a more advanced compact system camera with more traditional style controls in order to attract enthusiast photographers, according to Nick White, Head of Digital Imaging at Samsung UK. Speaking candidly to TechRadar, White said that 2011 had been a tough year for its compact system cameras and they have failed to achieve the sales figures that the company believe they merit. Despite many favourable reviews, Samsung's CSCs have suffered from fierce competiton and aggressive advertising campaigns from other manufacturers, particularly in the run up to Christmas.

Samsung's Chromebox Is Coming Mid-2012, But Who The Hell Is It Aimed At?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Desktop ComputersSamsungXE300M22-A01US
Since Sammy announced in early 2011 that it was planning to release a Chromebox, everybody forgot about the idea. Now the company has announced it's shipping mid-2012, but we're not sure it knows exactly who's going to buy it. The exact specs aren't final, but Engadget reports from CES that it definitely has a handful of ports, including five USB 2.0 sockets, DVI, DisplayPort and a headphone jack, and comes bundled with a wireless keyboard-and-mouse combo. It should cost in the region of $400, and ship sometime in the second quarter of 2012. But the big question is: who's it for?
