Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 with T-Mobile bands on board gets approved by the FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungT-MobileGALAXY Tab 10.1
Currently, if you want to get a Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 with connectivity features going beyond the scope of Wi-Fi, grabbing an LTE model from Verizon is your only option. However, there seems to be a chance of an alternative popping up on T-Mobile's shelves, if the device that we just came across ever sees the light of day.
A Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 model with support for T-Mobile's 4G bands has been approved by the FCC, meaning that the nation's fourth largest carrier might have yet another 4G slate joining its lineup in the near future. Listed with its SGH-T859 model name, the tablet has the exact same dimensions as the Wi-Fi-only version of the GALAXY Tab 10.1 and can run on T-Mobile's 1...

Qualcomm’s baseband chip dominance threatened by new JV uniting Samsung, NTT DoCoMo and three others
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Qualcomm’s has largely dominated the mobile baseband chip space with share reaching 80%, but now Japanese megacarrier NTT DoCoMo aims to threaten that monopoly by negotiating a new joint-venture over baseband chip manufacturing with Samsung. The new JV, if the negotiations turn out to be successful, will also include three other Japanese companies - Fujitsu, NEC and Panasonic’s mobile division. Baseband chips control the wireless communication and signal.
Talks are reportedly currently in their final stages and the new partnership may be formed as early as next year.
The partnership will design, develop and then outsource chip production, while the actual chips will be used on devices from t...

Samsung Galaxy Y heading to Vodafone UK
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy Y
Of all the new Android smartphones Samsung announced recently, the Galaxy W was the one that grabbed instant attention, with Three and O2 lining up to start offering it later this month. Vodafone seems to care more about its little (and less powerful) brother – Galaxy Y, which got a spot in the Big Red carrier’s coming soon pages.
If you recall, this is an entry-level device with a familiar all-touchscreen form factor. Specs wise, it comes with a 3-inch QVGA display, 2-megapixel camera, HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 832MHz processor, microSD memory card slot, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show with Sammy’s own TouchWiz UI singing on top.

Sprint's Samsung Epic 4G Touch available for $99.99 from Walmart Wireless
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungEpic 4G Touch
And we thought that Wirefly’s deal for Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G Touch was smoking hot. $150 certainly sounded great considering that the carrier itself will ask $50 more right from the start, but now Walmart Wireless has an even better offer – $100 ($99.99 to be more precise)! Of course, putting your signature on a new two-year contract is still required, but that comes as given these days. If you’ve no problem with that, hit this link and secure your Epic 4G Touch unit now… or wait for other carriers to launch their own flavors of the Samsung Galaxy S II (presuming you don’t like or want Sprint).

Cricket premieres the Samsung Vitality: the first smartphone with unlimited Muve Music
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungCricketAdmire
Regional carrier Cricket might not have hit the spotlight recently with major announcements, but its Muve Music all you can eat service, is one of the better options for feeding all of your musical hunger at a low price. Up until now, though, Muve was only available on feature phones like the Samsung Suede, which couldn’t quite elevate it. The Samsung Vitality, a branch-off of the Samsung Admire, is the first smartphone to break that sad tradition.
The Vitality comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and humble spec sheet: a 3.5-inch screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, an 800MHz processor, a 3.2 megapixel camera, all depending on a 1,600mAh battery. No stellar heights as you can see, .....

Samsung Focus Flash announced by AT&T, runs Mango and flies on 4G airwaves
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftAT&TWindows Phone 7.5Focus Flash
The Samsung Focus Flash was among the trio of Windows Phone handsets that AT&T officially announced today, the other two being the Samsung Focus S and the HTC TITAN. It may be touted as the most affordable one out of the three, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will not have much to offer for its money.
Under its hood will tick a 1.4GHz processor, and a 5-megapixel camera will be gracing its back. Its front will be occupied by a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display, and a front-facing camera will be also in stock.
On the software side, the Samsung Focus Flash will run Windows Phone Mango, just like its bigger siblings. Furthermore, all Windows Phone handsets in AT&T's lineup are expected to...

Samsung Galaxy S II now shipping for $100 in America... on Alaska's GCI
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Leave it the regional folks to steal the thunder of the Big Four. While we were all led to think that Sprint's Epic 4G Touch would be the first subsidized Galaxy S II to officially land in the US of A, it looks as if Alaska's GCI has beat 'em all to the punch -- and in more areas than one. A tipster residing in The Last Frontier just picked one up today, and best of all, it's running a solid Benjamin less than it will on those other operators. Oh, and it's compatible with the company's "4G" (read: HSPA+) network. Unadulterated wilderness? Yep. Northern Lights? Definitely. Early / cheap access to the year's hottest Android smartphone? Evidently. So, who's up for a little northern exposure?

Apple Successfully Blocks Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 From Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungAppleGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple and Samsung have been in a legal tussle for quite some time now, but it looks like Apple still has the advantage as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been banned from sale in Germany. A German court recently decided to uphold its temporary ban on the Android tablet set last month. But that’s not all for Samsung:
Apple, the maker of the iPad, won a second injunction at the same court last week, forcing Samsung to pull the new Galaxy Tab 7.7 out of the IFA consumer-electronics show in Berlin. The legal battle between Cupertino, California-based Apple and its closest rival in tablet computers is intensifying as an increasing number of consumers use devices such as tablets and smartphones to...

Samsung SCH-W689 rocks two SIM card slots, bada OS and clamshell form-factor
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Well what do we have here – a bada-powered smartphone that doesn’t come in an all-touchscreen form factor! Rather the Samsung SCH-W689 is a clamshell with two touchscreens, one measuring 3.2 inches and the other one – 3 inches; both of which support WQVGA resolution.
But that’s not all – this little fella’ also rocks two SIM card slots and can work across both GSM and CDMA-based networks. Kinda neat when you think about it, too bad it’s a China only device at the moment.

Apple injunction against Galaxy Tab 10.1 upheld in Germany
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungGALAXY Tab 10.1
Apple has re-secured its injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany, with the Düsseldorf courts upholding its existing ban on sales. In what was reportedly a short sitting this morning, NetbookNews reports, the judge deemed that Samsung’s “smooth, simple surfaces” of the 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet copied the minimalist aesthetic of the iPad, a design that Apple secured back in 2004.

Do you now look at your Samsung Wave or Wave II device with contemptuousness hidden beneath your eyes, following the unveiling of the awesome looking, Bada 2.0 packing, Wave 3 over at IFA?

Well look and long no longer (or actually, just for a bit more) as it has been announced that Bada 2.0 will be making its way to the older Wave models later this year.

Windows 8 Tablet from Samsung gets unveiled next Week
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSamsungMicrosoftWindows 8
Several reports appeared today about the first Windows 8 Tablet. The Korean Economics Times reports that Samsung has partnered with Microsoft to make the first Windows 8 Tablet. The new Windows Tablet will be already unveiled at the Build developer conference next week (September 13-16). ThisIsMyNext reports that developers attending the conference might get one for free. This still does not confirm that Microsoft is actually ready to launch the Windows 8 Tablet this year. Windows 8 OS is supposed to launch late 2012. There have been rumors that Microsoft will release the tablet version earlier. It would be good for them, as they are really late in the game this time.

Samsung accidentally confirms the upcoming Nexus Prime
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung has accidentally confirmed the existence of the next Nexus device by uploading something called a “user agent profile”. Mobile phone makers create said files so developers and websites know the capabilities of the device a user is using to access their content. While it doesn’t provide a complete spec sheet, it does give some hints as to what we can come to expect. For one thing, the name “Nexus Prime” has finally been confirmed. We’d honestly be shocked if Google or Samsung decided to change this. Next up, we know the technical name of the device, the “GT-I9250″. This will come in handy when combing through FCC documents and other certification pages, looking for hints as to the typ...
