Samsung i8910 goes to Italy as Omnia HD

on April 16, 2009 9:41 PM | Permalink

Samsung seems to have finally realized that it would be foolish not to use the successful "Omnia" moniker and has decided to use it after all with the Samsung i8910. The i8910 is now scheduled for a release in Italy as the Omnia HD, although Samsung may still go ahead and release it as the i8910 HD in other markets. Making the event a bit more special is Samsung's colloboration with the movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which will be opening the same week, for the release of Omnia HD in Italy. As we already know, the the i8910 is similar in most features to Samsung Omnia with a few worthy upgrades, the most notable being an 8-megapixel lens instead of 5 megapixels and the use of AMOLED technology instead of TFT for its 3.2-inch touchscreen display. We still have no idea whether it will be able to record vidoes in 720p, but considering the HD tag that is attached to its name, we are betting it will.

Look for it to land in Italy on April 29 at an undisclosed price.

We've seen the Samsung S8000 a while ago and now we have some more specs for you. These features have been leaked from a Russian retailer's website and now the whole world can get a better idea of the S8000 Cubic phone. And here are those features for you:

• Quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
• Dual band UMTS connectivity (900/2100 MHz)
• Wi-Fi
• A-GPS
• Bluetooth 2.1

• 3.5mm headset jack
• 5MP camera with autofocus
• 2GB of internal memory
• 1,100 mAh battery
• 108.9 x 53.5 x 11.9 mm

What do you think? Would you get a Cubic? Or would you rather get an LG Arena instead? The Cubic has a new TouchWiz UI which is similar to LT's S-Class 3D UI.

The price has not been leaked yet but if the Russian site is getting ready to launch the Samsung phone, we should assume we're going to find out more about the S8000 soon.

Samsung may have been thinking of a reliable rugged phone worthy for military use and it looks like the Samsung SGH-A657 is the perfect fit. However, if you are expecting to get some attention as far as features and overall appearance concerned, you can just forget it!

The Samsung SGH-A657 was specially made for meeting military specifications for dust, shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. As a bonus, it has a flashlight, just in case you drop the keys of your military vehicle along the way.

This may seem out of the blue but that's the way most cell phones get leaked, isn't it? Touted to be a successor to the F700, a new smartphone has popped up on ThePhoneHouse (Dutch subsidiary of Carphone Warehouse) called the Samsung B7610 Louvre. Details are sparse as of now but from the picture, we can assume that the device will be running Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a full QWERTY keypad. We will have to wait for Samsung to open up for other details and with a release date of July according to the website, they better make it official real soon, before blurry pictures or detailed spec sheets start emerging.

m2310

Samsung is very witty in promoting its phone models. Samsung M2310 was under cover in Brazil, where as in Dutch the company seemed to exhibit this low-end model overtly.

Along with the M2310, other phones that made appearance at the Dutch Trade Show were the M2510 and S5200. Yes, I know most of us are unaware of these models. Well, among these the S2500 seems different.

Boasting a trendy two-tone black / red scheme, the S2500 comes equipped with a 3 megapixel camera. The M2510 slider infused with QVGA display, FM radio, and VGA cam bears dedicated music keys.

These three upcoming phones by Samsung are much awaited by music lovers who do not want to spend more and yet enjoy the music beats on their phones.

The feature is not confirmed yet but we're hoping it will be in just a few days. The Omnia HD is also said to sport a 3.7-inch AMOLED display but we're going to need confirmation for those features too.
