Samsung shows off W600 with T-DMB, HSUPA, 5MP camera

From around back, you'd never know that Samsung's W600 was a phone. Well, we mean, you might be able to piece it together, but you catch our drift. At any rate, the Anycall W600 was recently on display in South Korea, and aside from the wicked 5-megapixel camera and all-black motif, it was also boasting a 3-inch WVGA (800 x 480) touchscreen, T-DMB tuner, haptic UI and HSUPA support. Look for it to set locals back a stiff ?800,000 ($600) or more depending on carrier when it ships next month.

Samsung's SPH-W6050 is the perfect excuse to visit Korea

There's no need in reiterating, but South Korea has some drool-worthy handsets. Take the minty fresh Samsung SPH-W6050 for instance, with its magnificent 5-megapixel camera (with AutoFocus), OMNIA front design and 3-inch LCD with WVGA (800 x 480) resolution -- isn't that something worth grabbing a napkin over? Furthermore, it boasts a mobile TV tuner (DMB), haptic user interface and a microSD card slot. If only trips to Seoul were cheap and ?800,000 ($575) was a drop in the bucket...

Samsung's AMOLED-packin' SCH-W690 clamshell heads for South Korea

If our hunches are correct, Samsung's snazzy little SCH-W690 flip phone is actually destined for arrival in the US as well, but at least for now, we're forced to be content with a South Korean debut. Reportedly, the handset packs a swank 2.6-inch AMOLED display (320 x 240) underneath the classic black (or silver) exterior, and it also touts GSM / HSDPA connectivity, GPS, a 1.5-inch external OLED, multimedia player, Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera and an 800mAh battery. There's no mention of price just yet, but we'd expect to pay a small premium for the pixels.

Samsung's S3500 slider is simply simple

There's no two ways about it -- Samsung's S3500 is good with the basics, and that's about it. The handset is apt to be sold in China as the Anycall S3500C, and there's an even better shot we'll get more details on this thing at Mobile World Congress. For now, we're told that it sports tri-band GSM connectivity, EDGE data, an FM radio, multimedia player, QVGA display, a built-in webcam and 35MB of free storage for your five favorite Willy Nelson jams. Mum's the word on a price, but you can bet it'll be affordable.

Samsung SCH-M830 hands-on

While perusing the Samsung booth for something fresh and fun we happened upon this, the Samsung SCH-M830. The M830 is a WiBro (mobile WiMax) and HSPA set, WiFI, Bluetooth, 3 megapixel camera, a 3.3-inch LCD, memory expansion with microSD, and runs Windows Mobile 6.1. The interface and all the UI elements were in Korean (see that Anycall branding? That's the hint) so if there were any special goodies in there we definitely didn't catch them. Impressions? It felt great and was really solid, but as to performance we can't add much there -- though just that big display had us smiling. Lovely gallery and a quick video flip-through follow the break.

Samsung offers up C3110H slider in Hong Kong

We're certainly seen simpler from Samsung, but the Anycall-branded GT-C3110H is pretty fancy for a low-end slider. The quad-band GSM phone sports a 2-inch 220 x 176 resolution display, 1.3 megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, microSDHC card slot, speakerphone, up to 8.5 hours of talk time (510 hours in standby), a built-in music player and an incredible 15MB of internal storage. Yeah, fifteen megabytes. All told, it's not a half bad choice for just HK$1,080 (around $139 in greenbacks), and you'll even get to choose between black, purple and silver. Wicked, we know.

Samsung C3310 slider keeps a real low profile

We've seen some pretty exciting gems from Samsung of late, but this, friends, isn't one of them. The overly simplistic C3310 slider is aimed squarely at emerging markets and barely provides anything more than the basics required to make and receive calls / texts. For what it's worth, the phone does include a basic camera, FM tuner, an MP3 player, USB connectivity, microSD card slot and quad-band GSM support. There's no word on how pricey (or cheap, we should say) this will be when it splashes down in China and certain European countries, but we hear prospective buyers will get to choose from silver, black or blue hues. Fancy!

Images leak of Samsung's stylish S8000 touchscreen handset

It's hard to say if this elusive new touchscreen handset will indeed be slotted between a few of Samsung's other UltraTouch phones, but either way, we're digging it. We get the feeling this so-called S8000 was already shown to us in that now-famous slide of Sammy's upcoming lineup, but the whole "blur factor" kept us from really keying in on it. At any rate, we're really feeling the style presented here, and despite the fact that we know absolutely nothing about its specifications (save for the flash-equipped 5MP camera), we definitely want to hold one. Check the read link for a few more (amazingly clear) looks.

WinMo-packin' Samsung B7300 surfaces overseas

Lookie here -- yet another Samsung leak from over in Asia. Just a day after we caught wind of the elusive S8000 comes yet another touchscreen-based handset from the company. Sporting Anycall and China Mobile labeling, we've all ideas the B7300 will be reserved (at least initially) for markets not named North America. As of now, all we know is that it comes loaded with some level of Windows Mobile, a rear-mounted camera, a carbon fiber-esque rear cover, USB connectivity and a microSD card slot. Check the read link for a few more looks, and then peek that mysterious presentation slide to see if you can figure out which row and column it's in.

Samsung Galaxy S Femme bundles sexism in with your smartphone purchase

You know what really bugs us about this Samsung Galaxy S Femme handset? No, it's not that it once again trudges out the tired cliché that women must love pink -- it's that it presumes gents can't appreciate the benefits of Aveda's Damage Remedy and Hand Relief creams. We totally can! And we'd love to spend some quality time with the Aveda advisor app, which comes bundled on a 4GB MicroSD card, letting it identify for us the particular products we need to buy to keep our skin and hair looking their best. But, according to the packaging, this 4-inch, Gorilla Glass-bearing smartphone isn't for us. Sigh.

Samsung W619 gets peeped

It hasn't been long since this sucker graced the FCC with its presence, albeit with just a little (okay, a lot) less detail than we'd like. Once again the W619 makes our radar, but this time it bears Anycall branding, so it's looking like a probable release for Samsung's domestic market. With features like a dual band CDMA / GSM radio, 2 megapixel camera, and a 4.2 ounce weigh-in, it seems like a bit of a lightweight by Korean standards -- but hey, not every phone can occupy the high end, right?

Releasing gizmos to commemorate the 2008 Olympics in Beijing is becoming somewhat of a recurring theme, and the Samsung Anycall 18K Golden Edition E848 is keepin' the trend alive. Reportedly, the handset features an 18K golden reflective surface to compliment the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games logo imprinted on the back. Additionally, it boasts a 2.2-inch 320 x 240 resolution LCD, integrated media player, support for H.263 / MP3 / AAC / WMA / MPEG4 formats, quad-band connectivity, 70MB of internal memory, a microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth 2.0, A2DP, USB 2.0 and a talk time of around five hours. Mum's the word on an actual release date, but you can purportedly expect it to ring up for HK$2,780 ($359) whenever it lands. Check out a couple more shots after the jump.

Samsung's SCH-W380 for Korea

Now here's a possible camera replacement we'll keep in mind for our next trip to Korea. Dressed up with Anycall branding, Samsung's SCH-W380 comes fully equipped with a 5 megapixel shooter complete with autofocus on the back and a VGA camera in the front for video calling. The clamshell also sports a triband 900 / 1800 / 1900 GSM radio with HSDPA, MP3 player and expandable memory via microSD. We wouldn't hold our breath for this device to come stateside, so it's an awfully good thing we have a couple of 5 megapixel options of our own 'round here these days.

Samsung announces the Anycall G608

Simple and slick come to mind, don't you love it how Samsung can often get the little things right? Sure, quad-band and HSDPA some times get lost in the shuffle, but otherwise the planets generally seem to align. The G608 features quad-band GSM / EDGE, a 5 megapixel shooter, 7 hours and 320 hours talk and standby times, FM Radio, Bluetooth, plus all the quirky bits of software you could hope for. We've no idea of a target market for this straightforward slider, but we'd certainly welcome it over here.

Samsung intros F218, F338 musicphones in Hong Kong

Samsung pulled out all the stops at a star-studded event last week in Hong Kong to usher in its F218 and F338 phones, spinner and slider members of the company's MusiCall series. The two models seem to be little more than localized versions of the F210 and F300 for Europe, respectively -- but if music's your gig, that might not be a bad thing at all. The F218 features 1GB of integrated storage with microSD expansion, FM radio, stereo Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel cam, and ACCESS' NetFront browser (on that crazy little display, imagine that!). The F338 adds 3G data and microSDHC support -- a good thing, since it lacks the F218's ample in-built memory -- and goes for a slightly more traditional slim slider package.

Samsung's AnyCall Haptic is out and UI-licious

While Samsung is a perennial innovator when it comes to hardware, software has never been the company's strong suit. Lucky for us, the new TouchWiz UI Samsung is building for its touchscreen phones is a significant step in the right direction, and the new AnyCall Haptic SCH-W420 looks to be the perfect way to show it off. Centered around a 16:9, 3.2-inch screen, the phone includes DMB, a 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth 2.0. Haptic feedback in the form of vibrations help out with the UI, and home screen is customizable with widgets. The feature set seems to be squarely targeted at the consumer, but the price sure ain't -- the phone is launching in Korea starting at 700,000 KRW and ramping up to 800,000 KRW ($700 to $800 US). Video is after the break.

Samsung's SCH-W599 enjoys both GSM / CDMA connectivity, long walks in park

Samsung's dual-mode SCH-W599 has made an appearance today and seems destined for China's China Unicom network. This handset sports both 800MHz CDMA and also dual-band GSM -- so yeah, not so terribly useful over here -- 2 megapixel camera, FM radio, Bluetooth, and a 2.4-inch touchscreen with handwriting recognition. Form factor is pretty standard Samsung fare, though thicker than we've seen from them in recent efforts. Other notables include a dual-sim slot under the bonnet and VibTonz feedback from the touchscreen. We're big on haptics round these parts, so we've got our collective fingers crossed we'll be seeing more of this in the near future, right Samsung?

Samsung Anycall CC03 gets way back to basics

It's not like Samsung hasn't simplified a good number of its handsets before, but the Anycall CC03 hearkens back to the days when text-messaging was but a dream and haptics weren't even mentioned in the same paragraph as cellular telephones (okay, so maybe that's a stretch). Still, we can definitely appreciate the lo-fi approach given the $65 sticker, and considering that it measures in at just 4.07- x 1.73- x 0.58-inches, we can certainly see quite a few folks picking one up to handle calling, and well, more calling. You'll find dual-band GSM support, speakerphone / SMS functionality and a battery that'll provide around 2.8-hours of talk time. No word on a price just yet, but word on street has this phone available as we speak in Hong Kong.

Samsung's Anycall J708 is sexy but unexciting
Fans of mid and low-end cell phones who happen to live in Hong Kong can add another handset to their lust list, the Samsung Anycall J708, which is quite a sexy and diminutive handset considering its price. The 0.6-inch thick slider costs 1,480 HKD (about $190), which means a slim feature list, but there's plenty for the media-hungry to be getting on with: H.263 and MPEG4 video playback, MP3 and AAC audio playback, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, a micro SD slot, a 1.3 megapixel camera and EDGE. In the end, it's always nice to see a low-end phone that doesn't look like someone folded a three year old candybar in half and slapped a new coat of paint on it.

Samsung's SGH-i900 is a feature-laden stunner

Yeah, let's get this out of the way first, the SGH-i900 does share a design aesthetic with another handset we hear about all the time. That aside, the SGH-i900 seems set to bring everything we could ever hope -- or need, to be honest -- for in a Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro package. Measuring a scant 112 × 56 × 13, the i900 is finished in shiny metal, only features two buttons on the face, and what appears to be a fingerprint reader or perhaps a touch-sensitive pad. Loaded with HSDPA, a 3.5-inch 400 X 240 display, 5 megapixel cam with auto focus, 16GB of onboard memory, microSDHC support up to 8GB, TV-out, FM radio, Bluetooth, WiFi -- see what we're saying here? This thing could almost be a mini media center -- it'll definitely please our pockets. It also seems like two versions will be in the offing, the i900 branded as Samsung and the i908 branded as Anycall -- but sadly we're at a loss on how they differ. We'll definitely be keeping our eyes wide open watching for updates here, but in the meantime, follow the link for pages of pretty pictures and poorly translated Chinese.
