TomTom powering Samsung Wave 3 Bada Maps
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungWave 3
The ink is drying on the agreement 'twixt Samsung and TomTom for the latter's maps and location content will appear on the Wave 3 Bada smartphone. Owners of the device will get access to TomTom's global maps, point of interest information, 3D city maps as well as live traffic updates and speed camera notifications. It's premature to speculate, but given Android and Nokia's free GPS apps, we could see this as the start of a new direction for the mapping company. There's no word on if the service will be free to use or when it'll be available, but we've got plenty of other details tucked below the break.

Better late than never: Samsung Captivate finally gets its Gingerbread update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungCaptivate
For all the worn out Samsung Captivate owners out there, today is the day. The update from Android 2.2 Froyo to the Gingerbread goodness is finally out, and you can stop the nail-biting.
We certainly kid, but the update has really taken a while, while the world has moved on to Android 4.0 ICS. Samsung, however, said it is not planning to bring ICS to the Galaxy S and its versions, so Gingerbread will be your last snack with the Samsung Captivate, if you decide to keep it to the end of your two-year contract.

Telus announces Samsung Galaxy Note launch, LTE in Q1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
Well here's some pretty fab news: the Samsung Galaxy Note is en route to Canada and that network will boast LTE sometime this quarter. The LTE launch alone gives us tingles up our spines, but coupled with this useful little handset, we're overjoyed. Telus, however, didn't provide any information on the exact date of the Note's launch nor even a hint of what it might cost, but we'd expect that'll come tumbling our way soon. In the interim, have a peek at the press info, our hands-on and give our first impressions a read, won't you?

The Hand-Stretching Samsung Galaxy Note Finds an LTE Home at AT&T
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&TGALAXY Note LTE
Samsung Galaxy Note made a splash in Europe back in September of last year. Was it a gigantic phone or a tiny tablet? No one knew! Well, the debate is about to come to U.S. soil.
The phone (yes, it's a phone, but just barely) has a 5.3-inch screen. It is, indeed huge. For me, it was usable, but I've got ape-hands. It would make our Kyle Wagner, with his famously tiny hands, explode. I was able to type on it one-handed, but even for me the far side of the screen was a bit of a stretch. The screen is, however, very pretty with 1280x800 HD Super AMOLED resolution. Bright colors, inky blacks. Very nice.

Tizen UI leaks ahead of Samsung I9500 debut
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Open-source smartphone OS Tizen rose like a scorched pigeon from the ashes of MeeGo last September, but its taken until now for the first screenshots of the platform to emerge. A cluster of shots were shared with SamMobile, showing a UI that’s markedly similar to pre-ICS Android and even Samsung’s bada. That may be no coincidence, however, since Samsung is one of the leads in the Tizen project, and may be bringing the first Tizen-based device, the Samsung I9500, to market imminently.

Samsung smartphones pave way to record Q4 results
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung has reported record Q4 2012 profits largely thanks to very strong sales of its smartphone range, which cements its position as the number one mobile manufacturer in the world.
Only this year Samsung surpassed Apple as the biggest provider of smartphones in the world, which is all the more impressive when you consider that Samsung has been in the Mobile arena a very short time. Mobile phones are now the technology company's biggest source of revenue.

Sprint Ad Announces Galaxy Nexus with 1.5 GHz SoC

Sprint seems to be busy with its announcements today, and the latest comes in the form of an unassuming-looking advert on CNet. Ordinarily, a US carrier announcing yet another carrier-specific version of the same device isn't big news, but what's interesting about the Sprint Galaxy Nexus is that it notes the inclusion of a 1.5 GHz SoC.

Samsung's attempted iPhone 4S block in Italy denied, already missed its French connection
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAppleiPhone 4s
Last October, Samsung made a new attack in its ongoing patent war with Apple, filing motions to block sales of the iPhone 4S in both France and Italy, alleging infringements of patents relating to WCDMA standards for 3G-enabled devices. About a month ago the French motion was denied and now we're learning that an Judge Marina Tavassi of the Italian Tribunale di Milano has said "negato" as well. What's next? We hear Brazil is lovely this time of year...
