AT&T’s Samsung Eternity II and Flight II Get a Release DateAugust is golden season for cellphones, (and for vedio games too), so it’s really no surprise that we finally see AT&T’s Samsung Eternity II and Flight II get a true release date. I love the blue exterior design, so great news!

 

The incoming Samsung Eternity II and Samsung Flight II wanna-be smartphones for AT&T finally have an official release date, with the Eternity II being released on August 15th. It looks like they’ll both be ready to take on the onslaught of back to school competition that will be starting in a few weeks.

 

The Samsung Eternity II sports a 3.0″ touchscreen that helps take advantage of the fact that it has support for the optional AT&T Mobile TV powered by FLO TV in it for streaming live shows. It’s also got a full HTML web browser with one-finger zoom, a 2.0 megapixel camera, a mobile email, music and video player, and AT&T Social Net for keeping on top of your Twitter, Facebook, and Myspace accounts.

 

The Samsung Flight II sports a touchscreen as well, but has a slide-out horizontal QWERTY keyboard, along with a 2MP camera, full HTML web browser, mobile email, a music and video player, and enhanced social networking with PicDial, Star Tweets and WHERE.

Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite Hello Kitty Touchscreen PhoneLove kittens? Love Hello Kitty? Well, I guess most of us do love this little kitty, especially girls, and I’m pretty sure the people in Korea love it so much that they even come up with a quite nice Hello Kitty cellphone which is made by a quite decent phone manufacturer: Samsung. The Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite Hello Kitty Touchscreen Phone is a phone Hello Kitty fans can’t miss.

 

Usually the Hello Kitty phones that we come across are “unofficial” Asian knock-offs, but the S5230 Tocco Lite Hello Kitty is actually a quality Hello Kitty mobile phone from Samsung. The Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite Hello Kitty features a 3 inch Touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 pixel resolution, an MP3 and MP4 player for playing audio and video, an FM radio, handwriting recognition, a document viewer for looking at Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, a 3 megapixel camera, QVGA video recording, Edge support, bluetooth, and a microSD slot. So I’d say this is a quite nice phone that has all common functions we’d ask for a simple phone, not so “smart”.

 

But the cutest aspect of the phone aren’t even its Hello Kitty graphics, but the Menu button on the bottom which is labeled with Ms. Kitty’s face. You can pick up the Samsung S5230 Tocco Lite Hello Kitty touchscreen phone for $499.99.

 

Overall, this is hardly a smartphone in terms of features but it’s pretty nice to be able to pick up a Hello Kitty touchscreen phone that isn’t junk. So for a Hello Kitty fan, you don’t even need to think, just go and get your own one!

Samsung the Galaxy S SmartphoneNowadays, smartphones are everywhere, and I have to say they aren’t all that ’smart’ at all. Well, they all have quite similar looks (then again, Apple’s really got some good stuff there), and functionally alike, that makes them look not so smart. Anyway, let’s just give this Samsung Galaxy S Smartphone a chance.

 

Samsung has just launched its latest mobile phone offering, the new Samsung Galaxy S. Featuring a 4-inch AMOLED screen and a 1GHz mobile processor running the latest Android OS, the Samsung Galaxy S promises vibrant HD video handling, rich augmented reality content through Layar Reality Browser and advanced location based services. That’s pretty nice, but not really mouthwatering.

 

The Samsung Galaxy S is slated for a simultaneous release in Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia and Asia. Being touted as a social phone, The Samsung Galaxy S should provide access to social networks and other mobile communication apps that would make you stay connected with your friends, colleagues, and families.

 

One interesting: Most notable feature of the Samsung Galaxy S is the “Smart Life” feature which utilizes your personal preferences to gather information online. Smart Life makes sure that you’d get the information you need wherever and whenever.

 

The Samsung Galaxy S also provides rich multimedia features courtesy of its 4-inch Super AMOLED display with MDNIe or mobile digital natural image engine which is usually found in Samsung LCD and LED TVs. This provide sharper and crisper viewing experience for photos, videos, and e-books. That’s cool, a Smartphone will be smart when loaded with good books.

 

With the Android OS running on the phone, the Samsung Galaxy S provides access to thousands of applications available at the Android Market including various Google mobile services such as Search, Gmail and Google Maps.

 

The Samsung Galaxy S offers instant access to weather, news, stocks and scheduler, inter-device connectivity via DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology, enables use as a digital photo frame, table clock, calendar and music station, fast and easy way of inputing text on screen, apps to view and edit Microsoft Office 2007 docs, and smart alarm. Others specs include – 5.0 mega-pixel Camera + VGA Video Telephony Camera, AGPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi.

 

And it is a 2.5G (GSM/ GPRS/ EDGE) : 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz and 3G (HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps) : 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz smartphone.

 

OK, there’s not much to say about the exterior, quite pretty, but nothing new, apparently not shockingly beautiful. But if the Samsung Galaxy S is what the official says it is, then this smartphone is really smart and beautiful on the inside.

LG U8500Yes, here’s the question: Is your cellphone pink and girly? Or do you want to have a girly cellphone? We talked a lot about phones and most of the phones we talked about are classic black or white, and honestly nothing really girly…So I just feel like have to say something about girly pink phones.

 

One might have thought that pink phones are almost entirely bought by girls, and that boys love phones with loads of gadgets. Usually it’s true, however there are a few surprises. The Prada phone by LG, surely a shoe-in for the girliest phone award, is actually pretty popular among the guys! To be exact, almost 47% of all Pradas are in fact bought by fellas. And the LG Chocolate and Platinum Chocolate are big favourites with the ladies, who account for over 60% of all owners, and it’s no pink at all!

 

As a matter of fact, pink cellphones like this LG U8500 looks not pretty at all to me. I mean I would really love to see some pretty pink phones coming out to the market, thought not much yet! Maybe that’s why a large amount of girls are still stick with basic black mobile models. One thing I had to say, I think those cheap Chinese phones are really good too when it comes to pinky girly cellphones, you know, no brand but nice design and very cheap! Do you think so?

 

According to Dial-a-phone Blog, the award for the girliest cell phone manufacturer goes to Samsung (which I don’t think so, I’m stick to LG), whereas the Sony Ericsson had a higher percentage of male owners. Whatever,  I’m just wondering how many of you would call your own phone ‘girly’?

Samsung Omnia 2

In the world full of BlackBerrys and iPhones I’m just happy to see the Samsung Omnia II come with a little more feminism look and hand-feel. At almost the same price and contract thing, the Samsung Omnia II turns out to be a really beautiful phone suitable for women and men, Nevertheless unfortunately it do has some severe problems in performance. Well, let’s just check.

 

On the surface, the Samsung Omnia II seems to be the Windows Mobile phone that fans have been waiting for. With its gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED touch display, attractive design, and impressive specs, this phone is a real head-turner. Unfortunately, the Omnia II’s performance disappoints. The TouchWiz 2.0 user interface seems to bog down the phone’s speed; in one instance, our review unit crashed and had to be restarted.

On looks alone, the Omnia II is quite alluring and fits in nicely with Verizon’s line of premium smartphones like the Motorola Droid, the HTC Droid Eris, and the BlackBerry Storm II. Measuring 4.7 by 2.4 by 0.5 inches thick and weighing 4.8 ounces, the Omnia II is just slightly larger and heavier than the original. Still, the phone remains quite slim. With its rounded corners, brushed metal details, and smooth red-and-black back cover it is much more aesthetically pleasing than its predecessor. The 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display dominates its face with a piano-black border surrounding it. Hardware keys on the face are minimal: Talk and End/Power keys flank a large Main Menu key that looks deceptively like an optical mouse (which the first Omnia had). The left spine houses the 3.5mm headphone jack (a welcome upgrade–the original lacked one), an easy-to-press volume rocker, a microSD card slot, and the OK key (pressing it once closes an app; holding it down returns you to the home screen). On the right spine is the stylus (at the top), a USB port, a lock key (for locking the screen), and the camera/camcorder key.

 

So basically, the phone has nearly every functiong you will ever desired for your phone, but as for how well these tempting functions will work, there’s no promises, too much unknownness, maybe it’ll work just fine for you, maybe it will crash, so worth it or not, that’s your decision. Beautiful phone, unstable performance, buy it or not, this time it really is your call!
