The messaging phone line up of T-Mobile has most of its hardware sourced from Samsung. But the Unlocked Motorola ( Charm ) is an exception to that rule. There introduction of the slider with a QWERTY pad will be bringing Android OS to the list of messaging phones that are affordable.

This fact is known because the recenty posted back-to-school ads are by T-Mobile, where we can see the glory hanging behind all the Samsung messaging phones. These messaging phones include the Samsung Smiley, Samsung Gravity T, and the Unlocked  Samsung (Gravity 3). But the only difference there is, is that of the Motorola Charm’s Android OS. This project is part of T-Mobile’s back-to-school promotions. These advertisements will be enticing for parents, whose kids will be going back to their respective schools, once they reopen after vacation.

Messaging phones are basically phones which concentrate mainly on messaging facilities. They are also known as dumbphones, as they lack the traditional smartphone OS, but they make up this deficit with a full QWERTY keyboard. The Motorola Charm is like a link between dumbphones and smartphones. It has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, with Android OS. Thus two problems are solved in a single phone.

According to T-Mobile, their phones for messaging will be for free, making the Motorola Charm the cheapest phone with the Android OS.  In other words, it is the cheapest smartphone powered by Google’s Nexus one unlocked phone  operating system available with new contract, for free. Magenta is yet to announce the specifics about the launch, but there is a high chance the Charm may be introduced a month before school reopens. Hopefully, there will be many who would want to lay their hands on one of these babies, and hopefully, the Charm will work well on people.

Samsung  Corporation unveiled the new Unlocked  Galaxy ( X series ) of Android devices recently. Quite a party was held to celebrate the release of this series. The event was dark, there were limitless drinks, and the food was great, catering to the needs of a hungry crowd. The main attraction of the evening, however, was, the new Galaxy S devices, for each U.S. carrier.

The most significant feature of these phones is Samsung’s Super AMOLED display. The special characteristic of this display is that there is a high contrast of black and white, which looks spectacular, has bright colors, and the display seemed even better than the iPhone 4’s display. Guests had the chance to hold the Unlocked  iPhone4 and an AMOLED display set side by side to compare the two. Even though the resolution and crispness of the iPhone 4’s display is far superior to that of the AMOLED display, the AMOLED display looks much better from 2 feet away, and that is exactly the distance at which we hold our phones. So, the Galaxy S devices were better. But guests could not take the Galaxy S devices up to the roof and conduct a sunlight test. But there is evidence that the Galaxy S devices’ display is the best compared to other Android phones, when brought under sunlight.

The Samsung’s Unlocked  Galaxy S phones are fast and gorgeous. But there is one downside to them. Despite being such high-end phones, they still had that cheap plastic feel that is common to Samsung phones. This put their strength and rigidity under doubt. The phones coming under this doubt were the Captivate, Fascinate and Vibrant, as they were all very thin phones.

The initial order for the new Motorola Milestone Unlocked Droid ( X )had quite a stock shortage. But now the ‘Best Buy’ has stated that Motorola are again taking pre –orders for this Droid X version on Verizon. This pre-ordering has been started just recently. Best Buy has also informed us that there is still no specific launch date that has been fixed for this model but sources are pretty confident that it will be around the 15^th of this month. Verizon has presented an offer for its customers. It is allowing them to switch to pre ordering of the Droid X model if they have already jumped ship to the HTC Droid Incredible model.

The new model has a commanding screen space of 4.3” 854 x 480-touch screen. This Droid X model has a 2.1 GHz processor with an HDMI-out. Also in its arsenal is the 8 megapixel camera and dual LED flash 720p video recording facilities, a closer inspection reveals that much of its specifications and features have a striking similarity with another model of theirs- the HTC EVO 4G. Only major difference being that the Verizon provides a much better coverage than that of the Sprint’s WiMAX.

The Droid is being launched with an initial price tag of $199. This will be done on a two-year contract with that of the Verizon Company.

Though the Droid X promises a lot but this Android powered Smartphone will have its work cut out as it will face a lot of competition from other upcoming Smartphone’s. It will be under a lot of pressure to perform effectively to outdo the new Apple IPhone 4 that’s also going to be launched this time of the year. Not only the iPhone, but also the Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S phones or the EVO 4G will give the Droid X model with its packed inventory of smart features a run for its money.

The recent release of Sprint's Epic 4G showcases it's place of pride in Samsung's Unlocked Galaxy S series of devices. This new range of smartphones offer cutting-edge standards in screen real-estate, speed and quality of content resulting in a remarkable user experience.

Says Steve Elfman, president, Network Operations and Wholesale, "Sprint has now been able to branch out into a new, diverse field with the second 4G-capable smartphone. There are other powerful devices that currently offer such 4G capabilities and the Samsung Epic 4G is the latest recruit.  We value all our customers and as such leverage increased data speeds, thereby providing all users with the ability of gaining all the required functionality and high definition entertainment they need. "

The Epic 4G boasts a full QWERTY slide-out keyboard has well as WiMax connectivity - somehting which only the Sprint device has in the Galaxy S series, making it quite future-proof as far as connectivity issues go.

The handset itself is robust and looks like it can stand up to wear and tear. The physical QWERTY keypad is quite easy to manipulate with fingers and doesn't add as much bulk to the phone as might be expected.

The screen itself it 4 inches, quite large enough for easy use. It's Super AMOLED touchscreen produces brilliantly crisp images.It gives a very realistic rendition of color matching that of original content. The response time is considerably fast, which results in reduction of "ghosting" images.The wide viewing angles prevents distorted or blurred images. The design is on the whole more accurate and has a greater degree of touch-responsiveness.

"With the Unlocked Samsung (Epic 4G) , we have been able to introduce a new member into our smartphone range. Users will be able to have a mobile fitted with various features including speed and enhanced functionality," says Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile.

It so seems that we were right on the money when we prophesized that Samsung Unlocked Galaxy S would end up on T Mobile as the Vibrant. The mega United States carrier enterprise has just fed us with an uncanny teaser page for the latest much anticipated Android handset. The countdown clock slowly ticks for the teaser page and it will take another two more days of patience before we are privy to some more information but I had wager that it won’t be a long shot to suggest that Vibrant might, in many a ways be much not much different from Samsung Captivate that will be arriving at AT&T soon. The handsets are primarily built on the Galaxy S line which would imply that T-Mobile devotees will soon have a dangerous handset to take pride in.

The Vibrant should sport a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and take my words on it; these things will just blow you away. We had a chance encounter when we had a rare opportunity to play with this amazing display at CTIA and the colors are lively, vibrant and bright and it has a definite “wow” factor when you place your eye on it. This and the Retina Display by Apple will be vying for the top spot as they go head to head over the following few years for the title of  the classiest unlocked  smartphone display.

As the speculations spurn, a few days from the go, the T-Mobile smartphone should also be boasting the rather efficient 1 GHz Hummingbird processor manufactured by Samsung. The processor is supposedly stronger and more resolute than Snapdragon on the basis of graphics horsepower and as several tests and experiments reveal, it can produce thrice the graphical output as the iPhone 3GS.

The Vibrant should be supported by Android 2.1 as Samsung will in all possibilities be layering on its S Life UI. I wouldn’t be completely swept off my feet if T-Mobile resorts to some exclusive software flicks like the one similar to myTouch 3G Slide. And most probably we will witness Unlocked Motorola BackFlip Android 2.2 take over the device soon. All the prolonged expectations will soon be over as we get the essential detailing in a few days, so keep it tuned to IntoMobile.

You might know that the new Samsung mobile, the Samsung Unlocked ( Wave ) is to be carried over by Bell. However recent reports suggest that the Samsung Wave might be also taken over by Rogers. So which will it be? Although we are not certain, you can be sure that the new mobile phone will turn heads irrespective of the carrier that takes it.  Although there has not been any official word released by Samsung, the Wave will be first mobile phone from Samsung to be released on the new Bada operating system. This open operating system allows developers from around the world to develop different applications for it.

Says their website, “With the Samsung Wave, users are assured of getting their hands on a mobile that is not only more intuitive, but at the same time can also deliver the right experience. Wave also makes use of our new operating system, the Bada. Since Bada is open in nature, we welcome developers from around the world to create applications that allow end users the ease, capability and functionality possible with the Wave.”

Currently there are many different applications that are available from the Samsung market for download. These include, but are not limited to applications such as social networking, games and lifestyle applications. With the Samsung Wave, you can make sure that you have a unlocked mobile phone others would be envious of. This phone makes use of a Super AMOLED screen, allowing you to take it out in bright sunlight. The display screen has a size of 3.3 inch which is simply perfect for a clearer, brighter and crispier image. The on screen resolution is 800 X 480 pixels enabling the user to have perfect clarity when viewing images and videos. There is also a 5MP camera with flash and autofocus, a 3.5mm jack for headsets and a 2GB internal memory card.

It was a mixture of anticipation and curiousness that gripped us during the meeting which was organized this morning by the new age technology powerhouses Verizon, Motorola and Adobe. The meeting was organized to unveil the new Motorola Milestone Unlocked Droid ( X ), the latest Smartphone to hit the market. The latest Android Smartphone did not disappoint.

It has almost a similar build as that of a HTC EVO 4G, but is more sleek and thin. It has an incredibly large screen which probably can be a prominent distinguishing factor. The stunning 8 megapixel camera unit placed at the top of the Droid X is the only part which is not very thin. The phone is exceptionally long.

Droid X is definitely a smart product and it can give you great pleasure to be able to grip it in your hands. The rubbery finish is particularly delightful apart from the look. Although, it doesn’t have the same impact that EVO 4G or iPhone 4 or Unlocked Samsung galaxy S packs, it is still a brilliant phone to have.

Droid X has a resolution of 854x480 and has the color and text or recent designs. The buttons are the only part which might be a cause of most skepticism as felt by everyone. The buttons seems a little too wobbly and may not be able to survive the test of time. Proper handling of the buttons would be advisable.

1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor is the most captivating feature along with other innovative and smart features and probably that is what sets Droid X apart from the rest. These features are easy to access and they bring a whole new dimension to the phone.

The camera may very well be used as shooting equipment as it holds 720p HD videos recording capability which can even be viewed via an HDMI-out cable. Sound quality of the phone is phenomenal and quality of voice is pretty much a huge positive for this new phone. It does rock Android 2.1 with a touch of MotoBlur but nevertheless is an excellent smartphone and a must have.

Some time ago it was announced that Samsung would release its latest mobile device in the market. Today, it has also been announced that this new mobile will be made available in US through AT&T. If you are planning on getting your hands on the Wave, you will just be in time for the world cup as a new game has been released for the Wave called Kickball AR Juggling. Powered by the Bada operating system, Kickball AR Juggling is the perfect augmented reality game that you need to keep pace with the current World Cup happening in South Africa. In this game, you can make use of the entire display screen to juggle the ball virtually with your legs. All you have to do is to simply point the camera at your feet, start the game and start juggling.

Even if this game is not meant for you, we are sure that you will be able to find something on the Samsung Wave that is suited to your needs. Considering the fact that it is to be fitted with a screen having a 3.3 inch display and a Super AMOLED display, meaning that you can take it out directly in sunlight, you might want to purchase this device. At the same time, there is a screenresolution of around 480 X 800 pixels which is very bright, even under bright lights. The Samsung Wave will be the first mobile phone to run the latest operating system, the Samsung  Unlocked (Bada). Through this platform, it will become possible for developers to create and share their own applications. In fact, Samsung predicts that the Bada will eventually convert feature phones into smartphones. Apart from this, the Wave will also include a 3.5mm jack for headsets, a 5 MP camera and the option of expanding storage capacity till 32 GB.

If you are the user of any unlocked mobile device having an AMOLED screen, you too would face certain problems when trying to use the phone in direct sunlight. In other words, it is nearly impossible to read anything on phones such as the HTC Desire that makes use of an AMOLED screen. In a view to combat this downfall of AMOLED screens, Samsung has recently released their new Super AMOLED screens that are not only much thinner, but at the same time can also deliver a much brighter and crispier image when directly held in the sun. Samsung conducted a recent test to determine which was better; whether it was the regular AMOLED display or the Super AMOLED screens releasing a video that pitted two mobile phones against each other, the HTC Desire that had a regular AMOLED screen and the Samsung Galaxy S that had a Super AMOLED screen.

The 7 minute long video shows both devices having their brightness at maximum and the position of the phones is switched around so as to ensure fairness. Under direct sunlight, the HTC mobile is practically worthless as it is nearly impossible to see anything apart from the big clock display on the screen. On the other hand, the Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S Super AMOLED screen had a much clearer display, allowing users the ability of seeing nearly perfectly.

Although neither display would require any backlight, thereby prolonging the battery life of the phone, Samsung’s Super AMOLED screen fared better when it came to color saturation and contrast of the two screens. Considering the fact that the Galaxy S has an incredibly large 4 inch screen, it makes sense to have it equipped with a Super AMOLED display having better clarity. Apart from the display of the Galaxy, the phone will support enhanced graphics and be powered by a 1GHz processor.

Even though most people are already delighted with the recently launched Unlocked HTC ( EVO 4G ) network, this has not stopped the carrier from already announcing plans to unveil another 4G phone next year. This phone is stated to be the Samsung Galaxy S Pro that will also have the ability of utilizing WiMax services. Set to be the second 4G carrier for Sprint, the Samsung Galaxy S Pro is packed with a neat set of features.

Similar to the Galaxy S, the Pro version will also have a QWERTY keyboard and a similar Super AMOLED display screen. Although nothing is certain as yet, it has been stated that the 4G Samsung Galaxy S Pro will have a 4 inch screen together with a 1 GHz processor and 5 MP camera that is equipped with an LED flash. Running 512 MB of RAM and Google’s android operating system, you can be certain that there will be numerous features attached to this handset. Codenamed Hummingbird, reports suggest that the processor of the 4G Samsung Galaxy S Pro should give three times the triangles per second of an iPhone 3GS. This is definitely something that gamers are going to love.

It also makes a lot of sense for Sprint to go about carrying the 4G Samsung unlocked  Galaxy S ( Pro )    as it will not jeopardize any sales of the EVO due to its full QWERTY keyboard. However, we also hope that the Galaxy S Pro has a much better battery life as compared to the EVO. Although Sprint is the only carrier in the United States with a 4G phone, many other networks, such as Verizon, are also planning on rolling out 4G services. In fact, Verizon has planned to release a minimum of five handsets next year compatible with 4G networks.

Frankly speaking, we are about to see an entire fleet of phones released soon that would be 4G compatible.
