Samsung SGH-F520

Samsung SGH-F520 is the iPhone's F700 fighter lil 'brother.
Kinda. It may have a lower model number, but it has a slightly bigger 3-inch touchscreen, and an insano side to side, up and down slider: Only a Rubik's cube has more moves than this phone. The cam only has a 3MP cam, compared to the F700's 5MPs. We'd take either one, but they're both locked away in display cases here at 3GSM ... wow, Samsung even matched the iPhone's look-no-touch glass cased in vapor launch.

Smatter spec after the jump.

Samsung G810

As I said earlier, for more then a year since Nokia N95 was announced, nobody was able to produce something to at least match N95 feature set.

Well, we may finally have a real N95 challenger in the upcoming Samsung G810 handset, that, according to Mobil.cz, should be announced during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, next week.

It seems that with Samsung G810, Korean handset maker took everything that made Samsung G800 cameraphone so cool, and added the missing features,

Samsung G810 specs (if my non-knowledge of Czech has not led me down) include:

• GSM/UMTS/3.6 Mbps HSDPA connectivity
• Symbian 9.2 OS with S60 3.1 UI
• 2.6″ 262K Color QVGA TFT display
• 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, anti-shake, face recognition, macro mode, autofocus, etc;
• 150 MB of memory and microSD memory card slot
• GPS navigation
• Wi-FI b/g
• Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB 2.0 (microUSB connector)
• 1200 mAh battery
• Dimensions: 104×52x9×18 mm

With an expected retail pricetag of 580 Euro, Samsung G810 will indeed be competing directly with Nokia N95/N95 8GB. And 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom might just make G810 a worthy consideration.

But, of course, Nokia had more then a year to work on a new handsets, to follow through on innovations N95 brought. So lets see how that battle develops.

Samsung SOUL

Samsung has released a new slider in Europe called Soul, its new flagship slider phone. Serving as the final bow for the Ultra Edition, it blends in a split-screen, context-sensitive touch control system similar to that of the LG Venus: rather than rely on fixed buttons or an entire front touch surface, the Soul includes a small touchscreen area whose buttons change depending on the immediate context for the screen above. When playing music, track controls replace normal commands, Samsung says in an example. The Soul is also the first Samsung handset to sport a themed UI where the entire look and sound can be replaced at once.
The handset is both very camera- and data-focused. A 5-megapixel camera is accompanied by a high-power LED flash as well as by face detection and image stabilization - all features normally reserved for some of the better dedicated cameras, the company says. Transfers are quick with 3G Internet access over HSDPA up to 7.2Mbps downstream; the phone supports North America with quad-band calling over GSM, though whether it also supports 3G in the Western region is unknown. The phone makes heavy use of Google features and supports built-in Gmail and search functions, including a dedicated button at the top level of the interface.

The 12.8mm (0.5in) thick phone is said to be music-savvy with AAC, FM radio, MP3, and WMA support, including protected WMA music stores. Bang & Olufsen's ICEpower audio enhancement technology is also onboard the Soul, which should be available first in Europe by April but is likely to see service in the US through AT&T if left in its current form.

Soul Specifications:
* Connectivity: quad band GSM/HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
* Display: 2.2" 16M color QVGA TFT
* Camera: 5 mpxwith autofocus, 4x digital zoom, face recognition, image stabilizer and WDR optimizer, power LED
* FM Radio with RDS
* Google mail
* 15 hours of music playback
* Bluetooth 2.0/USB 2.0
* ICE Power digital power amp by B&O
* microSD memory card slot
* Dimensions: 105.9x49.5x12.9 mm

HTC P6500

The HTC P6500 is a handset aimed primarily at large corporate customers who want a platform that they can build business applications on - it isn't aimed at the consumer market and will probably not be available through standard retail outlets.

This is a Windows Mobile 6 device with a large 3.5" 240x320 pixel anti-glare touchscreen, a 3 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, a barcode scanner, a fingerprint sensor for security, twin SDIO ports for memory expansion or peripherals and the P6500 has built-in GPS.

Network connectivity is via tri-band HSDPA and UMTS or quad-band GSM with GPRS and EDGE data. The P6500 also has WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0.

There's some confusion over the amount of memory in the HTC P6500 - some sources say 1GB, some say 256MB. It's possible that there is more than one variant, but if this is important to you then check before ordering. You can add more memory using an SD card in one of the SDIO slots.

So who would buy the HTC P6500? HTC suggest that logistics companies and the emergency services are two possible types of customer. To get the best out of the P6500, you'll really need to roll your own applications to go with it. The rich combination of features does mean that the P6500 is an unusually capable handset. It might also appeal to hobbyists and programmers who want to work on something a little different.

HTC aren't the only people producing handsets in this market - Motorola recently acquired Symbol Technologies who make similar types of devices, and there are a few other players in this market too. HTC say that the P6500 should be available from November onwards, but did not give any guidance on pricing.
