Samsung Haven: Phone for Your Grandfather
Over the last several years, mobile manufacturers and wireless providers have strongly pursued the younger demographic, believing that adolescents were a potential gold mine in revenue generation. With more and more tools and services catered to annoying, obnoxious and far too horny teenagers, it is refreshing to see that there is a mobile phone designed specifically for the elderly. The phone in question is called the Samsung Haven and it is scheduled for release on July 29 via Verizon. The Samsung Haven has a 2.2 inch display with adjustable font size, dedicated emergency buttons and health and medical related features. Sounds like a useful device, but not one I would rush to purchase if I was of the golden age. Many older folk want to either feel younger or do the…

Samsung Galaxy S. Release Rumors
It is quite commonplace in the wireless industry for companies to release new devices slowly across the globe. Apple is chief in this terminology, often debuting a product in new countries over the span of several months. Apparently Samsung is not familiar with this line of thinking. The long anticipated Samsung Galaxy S. is rumored to become available in July in over 110 countries simultaneously. The Android powered phone will come with a Super AMOLED screen and a 5MP camera, along with a 1GHz processor. The rumors regarding the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S. are in line with previous rumors that speculated that the device will be available on all major U.S. carriers.

Samsung Seek Now Available
A new device available now from Sprint is the Samsung Seek M350. Targeting teenagers primarily, the Samsung Seek M350 will run for less than $100 with the obvious crippling contract as part of the deal. Equipped with a QWERTY, the device itself is not exactly state of the art, but is geared more towards a budget focused demographic – like parents purchasing a phone for their teenage child. The Samsung Seek M350 will of course cater to youngsters, thus meaning that Facebook and Twitter will play a primary role in the daily use of the device. The Samsung Seek comes in blue or pink, making it a unisex device. While some parents may consider purchasing this phone for their children, my advice would be to pass and instead not get them a phone at all. In fact, it would be…

Samsung to Release Slate This Year
With the hype surrounding the iPad, it was only a matter of time before rumor and hype regarding slates and tablets from other manufacturers would begin to pick up steam in the rumor mill. According to Emmanuele Silanesu, an executive over at Samsung, the tech giant will be releasing a slate type device in the second half of 2010. There is nothing confirmed as of yet regarding this incarnation, but some speculate that the device would be using an Intel Atom processor. Several other prominent companies have announced that they will be releasing a device similar to the iPad this year. This could be a death sentence for Apple, as the company could attribute much of their previous success on being the only major player in their market niche for an extended period of time.…

Samsung Galaxy 2 Rumors
With all the hype surrounding Apple’s iPad, the wireless gurus and bloggers have perhaps overlooked some other exciting information that is currently making its rounds in the rumor mill. Once such rumor involved the Samsung Galaxy 2 and the possible specs that it may have. The Android powered Galaxy 2 will come with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor which is more powerful than the current processor that is used in the Google Nexus One. The Galaxy 2 will come with an industry standard 5MP camera and a more than respectable 32GB of internal memory. The handset is scheduled to debut in the summer of 2010, but nothing has been confirmed by Samsung at this time. Some believe that an official unveiling will take place at the Mobile World Congress later this year. Remember that…

New Corby Pop by Samsung
Samsung, in their everlasting stupidity, have released a new expensive budget phone. That’s right folks, a phone that is light on features and heavy on cost. The new and not so exciting Corby Pop features a highly sophisticated 1.3 MP camera, 22 MB of internal memory and the center piece of the Corby Pop, an FM radio. All this for the basement price of $150. Honestly, I would rather place my male sexual organ in a meat grinder than buy the Pop. There is absolutely no relevance between the price and the technical specs when we consider the current products available on the market and their perceived value. Of course, the Corby Pop has a touchscreen display, which makes the $150 price tag acceptable. Ya right. Designing an economy phone means creating a handset with…

Samsung Omnia 2 out Tomorrow
The new Samsung Omnia 2 will be available starting tomorrow via Verizon. Those of you interested in getting your grubby hands on the Omnia 2 will have to fork over 200 dollars and commit to a two year prison sentence with Verizon. But before you commit your hard earned cash and agree to do some hard time, it would be prudent to determine whether or not the Samsung Omnia 2 is the right mobile hardware for you. Blessed with a huge touch screen display, that measure at 3.7 inches, Internet Explorer, Twitter, 5MP camera and 8GB of internal memory, the Omnia is surely a wet dream for many a mobile enthusiast. That pleasant dream is shattered however, when it is discovered that the OS in question is Windows Mobile 6.5. If you can stomach the numerous cons that are inseparable…

The latest Android handset in Canada will be the Samsung Galaxy – scheduled for release on December 10th via Bell Mobility. The Samsung Galaxy comes with a robust arsenal, featuring a 5MP camera with flash, 8GB of internal memory, GPS and a 3.2 inch touch screen. Sources expect even more Android handsets to debut before the end of the year in Canada and the U.S., even though 2009 has already seen numerous Android devices become available.…

Best Buy to Sell HTC Hero and Samsung Moment
Best Buy is gearing up for the holiday season by playing the role of mobile phone Santa Claus. Best Buy will be offering two decent Android phones, the HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment. Both Sprint phones will be available for $99 with a two year slave agreement. Shawn Score, President of Best Buy Mobile, was quick to flaunt this new offering. ‘This fall has brought an unprecedented amount of highly-anticipated mobile devices to the market. We are excited to offer customers great selection, value and support to help them make sense of it all.' While the last part of this statement obviously proves that Score has never shopped in the company he works for, it does mean that Best Buy will continue to offer a wide range of mobile phones at halfway decent prices over the…

Samsung Galaxy Spica Now Available
It seems like you can’t walk 10 feet these days without tripping over a new Android phone. This time we see the newly released Samsung Galaxy Spica, or I5700, make its way to the market. The Samsung Galaxy Spica comes with the usual robust, but esthetically lacking Android package. The Spica supports Google mobile services and cohesion with Facebook and MySpace. The Galaxy Spica also supports many other Google type services, including Google Maps and YouTube. An 800 MHz processor and several advanced audio features, most notably DNSe 2.0. The Samsung Galaxy Spica is only available in Europe, so Yanks will have to wait a little bit longer. The question is should they? While this and many other Android phones have the specs, we are still waiting to see if the OS measures…
