Samsung Replenish getting a small firmware update on July 18?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungReplenish
We don’t have this official confirmed but are still pretty confident Sprint and Samsung will release a small firmware update for the Samsung Replenish. That “small” part means it won’t get Gingerbread to the eco-friendly Android smartphone — rather once the phone is updated, some of the known bugs and issues will be resolved, making the phone run faster. The information comes from AndroidCentral, which managed to get it from the leaked Sprint playbook, confirming the firmware release date is set for July 18th.

T-Mobile UK's Samsung Galaxy S finally gets the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S
I’m not sure why it took so long for T-Mobile UK to finally launch the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the original Samsung Galaxy S. I know carriers like to test firmware updates thoroughly, but I don’t think that’s the excuse. Especially when we know that AT&T’s version of the device (Samsung Captivate) and Sprint’s Samsung Epic 4G already got the same treatment. What’s more, we know that the Android 2.3.4 is in works for unlocked Galaxy S.

Samsung NC215S solar netbook delayed, won't see sunlight until August
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksSamsungNC215S
Well, that didn't take long. The sun's only set once since we reported Samsung's solar NC215S netbook was up for pre-order and we're already getting word that it's been delayed. Despite earlier estimates of a July 3rd US shipping date, Liliputing is now saying that the solar-powered laptop won't make it to consumers until sometime in mid to late August, due to hold ups involving the machine's custom panels. Here's hoping this doesn't spoil anyone's plans to journey out of the house this summer.

Microsoft teases a WP7 version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, plus new handsets from Fujitsu, ZTE and Acer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftAcerFujitsuZTEWindows Phone 7Galaxy S II
Microsoft's WPC 2011 conference which we reported from yesterday is in full swing, and special time was dedicated to Windows Phone, with Redmond showing off not one or two, but four new WP handsets. While it didn't specify many details about the phones themselves, Microsoft reiterated that we will have three new manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon - Acer, Fujitsu and ZTE.
But there were actually four handsets on stage, with the fourth being none other but the Windows Phone version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, one of the best handsets money can currently buy. Samsung's phone, as well as all others that were present during the keynote, seemed to have the good ol' front-facing camera, which i...

Did the Samsung Triumph just pass through the FCC?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
The FCC has given the green light to yet another handset, and judging by the clues that we managed to spot while digging through the filing, it seems like we are dealing with no other device than the rumored Samsung Triumph.
How do we know? Well, the strongest clue that we came across is the fact that the handset is listed with its SGH-T379 model name, which gets pretty close to the Samsung t379 Triumph that was mentioned in a leaked T-Mobile roadmap not long ago. In case if you are wondering, the device in the filing does support T-Mobile's frequencies and can even run on the carrier's 3G pipelines at theoretical speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. Some of the other goodies that it sports are a side...

The Samsung Galaxy Tab on Sprint may have just received its update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, but there are many Tabs across the world that have yet to see the update. It looks like users in the UK will be able to enjoy the benefits of Gingerbread in only a few weeks if new information from Samsung is to be believed.

It will require users to update through Samsung's KIES desktop software. As far as those Galaxy Tabs that are tied to networks, only O2 revealed any information, and it hope....

Samsung Announces Q2 Profit Drop in HDTV Market
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
According to a recent study released by Bloomberg, Samsung is starting to sweat with their HDTV profits. In the second quarter of this year, it was reported that Samsung’s profits fell 26% from what their sales were the same time a year earlier. This news was such a big disappointment for Samsung that it overshadowed the fact the company did impressively well with their mobile division. Between the mobile marker and their HDTV market, the company was still able to record a decent profit overall. But the company is now trying to figure out what to do to raise their HDTV market again.
