T-Mobile roadmap leaked: Galaxy S II, HTC Ruby and tablet

T-Mobile roadmap leaked: Galaxy S II, HTC Ruby and tablet

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Many of you T-Mobile fans are anxiously awaiting the Galaxy S II and we’re happy to tell you that a leaked roadmap says it should launch at the end of October.
TMoNews got its hands on the leaked schedule for the next few months and it shows that the Android superphone from Samsung should be landing in late October but we still don’t have a specific release date. We know the Sprint version of the Galaxy S II will be coming first in September, so let’s hope it doesn’t lag too long.
Confirming a previous rumor, the leaked roadmap says late October should also be the release date of the HTC Ruby, or what could be called the “Amaze 4G.” This Android beast is expected to have a 4.3-inch screen an...

Verizon's Samsung Illusion, Pantech Breakout revealed

Verizon's Samsung Illusion, Pantech Breakout revealed

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Thanks to the savvy ninjas at PocketNow, we have the first real images of two upcoming Verizon smartphones – Pantech Breakout and Samsung Illusion. The first of the two has already been leaked before – it comes with LTE support, 4-inch WVGA display, 1GHz single-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera (for video calls), 512MB of RAM, memory card slot and the ability to create a mobile hotspot for up to 10 devices. In other words, it’s like the ThunderBolt or Droid Charge with a smaller screen.
As for the Samsung Illusion, we’ve no idea what it will pack under the hood. Judging by the phone’s model number (SCH-i110), it’s most likely a mid-range device with a single...

Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S available for pre-ordering in the UK

Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S available for pre-ordering in the UK

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Two newly announced Android smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, are already available for pre-ordering in the UK through Clove.
The online retailer asks 349.99 GBP (about $563) for Sony Ericsson’s baby, listing September 26th as the availability date. The device, which BTW is an upgrade of the original Xperia arc, can be pre-ordered in either midnight blue or pure white.
As for the Galaxy Note, the situation is completely different there. Clove has no clue when Sammy’s huge superphone will be available nor how much it will cost. They show a “speculative price” of 600 GBP without sharing any dates whatsoever. If that doesn’t bother you, and you also happen to have...

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Set to launch later this month, Sprint’s version of the Samsung GALAXY S II smartphone is now available for pre-order from popular cell phone retailer Wirefly. While the highly anticipated Samsung Epic 4G Touch is set to launch at $199.99 from Sprint, Wirefly is offering early adopters an unusual discount — a pre-payment of $149.99 will secure anxious GALAXY fans an Epic 4G Touch as soon as they become available in mid-September. Announced late last month at a Samsung press event, Sprint’s Epic 4G Touch features a 4.52-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, 16GB of storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and compatibility with Sprint’s 4G...

Samsung Stratosphere outed, could launch via Verizon September 8th

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

Remember that mysterious Samsung slider, the SCH-i405, headed for Verizon that was pictured during the summer? Many Verizon customers had hoped that it would be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Remember the Samsung Stratosphere that was listed on the Verizon roadmap we reported? Many thought that would be the Samsung Galaxy S II. Now that we know better, and the Samsung Galaxy S II is not coming to Big Red as we informed you, it turns out that Pocketnow has discovered that the mysterious slider is the Samsung Stratosphere.
To refresh your memory, the Stratosphere has a 4 inch screen with what appears to be a Super AMOLED Plus screen. 2GB of storage is aboard as is a 5MP rear camera an...

Samsung GT-i8350 to be no speed slouch

Samsung GT-i8350 to be no speed slouch

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

In so far as we can trust WP Bench data (which is clearly not always the case) the Samsung GT i8350, which is believed to be the European successor to the Samsung Omnia 7, appears to be a pretty fast device, and significantly faster than the other new 1 Ghz Mango handsets like the Fujitsu IS12T or Acer M310/W4.
The Samsung GT-i8350 or Samsung Omnia W, with a 3.7 inch screen and 5 megapixel camera, is believed to be a relatively low-end handset, but maybe it has some surprises in store for us after all.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA 2011 because of a new Apple injunction against it

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 pulled from IFA 2011 because of a new Apple injunction against it

Posted on Sep 07, 2011 by MG1

The mysterious yanking of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet from the show floor at the IFA 2011 expo has been confirmed by Samsung to be caused by a preliminary injunction Apple secured against the tablet on Friday, September 2.
Cupertino already scored one injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany, and, although Samsung labeled its first tablet sample with Super AMOLED display as "Not for sale in Germany" on the following day of the expo, this obviously hadn't been enough to secure its continuous presentation on the floor of IFA 2011.
James Chung, a Samsung spokesperson from the Korean headquarters, has confirmed for Bloomberg that Apple has been granted an injunction to ban...

Vodafone Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 goes on sale for £229

Vodafone Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 goes on sale for £229

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is now available on Vodafone, which should come as a great relief for all those involved.
The 10.1-inch Honeycomb tablet will cost £229 if you agree to sign up to a 2-year, £27-a-month contract.
Vodafone has had a turbulent time getting the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to its customers, with the company first offering an exclusive model with a better camera before Samsung made the rash decision that the tab wasn’t good enough to compete with the iPad 2.
After that crisis, Vodafone was, for a time, still going to stock the model, instead calling it the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1V to emphasis the difference.
That debacle over, and everything looked set for a smooth ride unt...

Samsung: Galaxy Note hits Europe Q1 2012, US afterwards

Samsung: Galaxy Note hits Europe Q1 2012, US afterwards

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

Samsung has yet to officially announce Galaxy Note release dates, leading to some confusion yesterday, but the company’s execs were at least able to give SlashGear a window. When we met with Samsung earlier today to get a more in-depth fondle with some of the Note’s more interesting features, they told us that it’s expected to arrive in Q1 2012 in the UK (and presumably Europe).
US availability, meanwhile, will follow “later than that” though they couldn’t say exactly how much later. Given we’ve only just seen a US launch for the Samsung Galaxy S II, despite it having gone on sale in Europe in late April, it’s certainly imaginable that North American carriers could drag their heels out for s...

Samsung will 'never' buy webOS, CEO says

Samsung will 'never' buy webOS, CEO says

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

During the IFA trade show in Berlin on Friday, Samsung Electronics CEO Choi Gee Sung addressed rumors and speculation that Samsung was considering purchasing webOS from HP. Choi said Samsung would “never” make the purchase, according to Bloomberg. “It’s not right that acquiring an operating system is becoming a fashion,” he said. Samsung Mobile already has its own mobile operating system called bada and just released version 2.0. It also sells smartphones running Android and Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform. HP, which recently announced that it is ostensibly killing off the mobile operating system, has been working with other technology firms to license webOS. While Samsung may not buy web...

Samsung takes care of all photographers with MV800 and WB750

Posted on Sep 02, 2011 by MG1

In addition to the brand new NX200, Samsung unveiled two other cameras today at IFA 2011, the MV800 and the WB750. Both offering unique functionality, just as not every photographer is the same.
The MV800 is an ultra-compact point and shoot with a 3.0-inch capacitive touch-screen flip-out LCD display able to capture shots at nearly any angle and is the first premium compact model to do so.
It also offers a 16.1 MP sensor, 5x optical zoom and a 26mm wide-angle lens, while the Live Panorama function enables easy photography of large groups or scenes and when connected to a 3D HDTV, both images and panoramic shots can be viewed in 3D.
The WB750 on the other hand features a proprietary 12.5 MP B...

Samsung to get YouTube 3D exclusively at first

Filed in: TVsSamsung

At a press conference before the IFA show in Berlin, Samsung revealed it will be the first to host YouTube 3D videos on its Smart TVs and Smart Hubs. The dedicated app that makes this possible will be exclusive to Samsung for a limited but unspecified time. The company's European marketing director, Michael Zoller, said the app will be one of 100 new ones introduced before year's end, and likely by the end of September.
At the same time, Samsung added a new 60-inch version of its thin, 0.2-inch bezeled D8000 LED-lit TV line, which was introduced at CES. The 60D8000 gets 3D support and supports the Smart TV web and app platform.
