Samsung’s new mobile, the SCH-W920, looks a lot like those old-school “wireless” phones from the eighties with the big antenna, only it doesn’t have an over-sized cradle to rest it on.

However, I guarantee your old cordless phone for the landline never had video calling capability, digital music player, a phonebook with 3,000 entries, a 3 megapixel camera, plus Bluetooth. The SCH-W920 will be available in black or white for a price of $425.

The official numbers are in and the mobile business look to be improving. 290.5 million cell phones have been sold in Q3 which is 5.6% more than Q2 2009. Furthermore analysts predict that the final quarter of 2009 will see a year-to-year improvement. Q4 2009 mobile phone sales should amount to 300 million handset which would be 3% more than in Q4 2008.

Atop the mobile business Nokia is still the leader with 37.3% market share. Samsung follows with 20.7% while LG is far behind on third position with 10.9%. Sony Ericsson and Motorola have swapped places with Moto closing the top five at 4.7% market share. Sony Ericsson is probably going to lose fourth place soon as it only surpassed Motorola by 0.2% which translates into 0.5 million units. Do you think Verizon can sell that many Droids in the following months?

LTE is getting closer and closer and Samsung is getting ready for the new telecommunication standard. The Korean company has already developed another LTE USB modem and the FCC is currently reviewing it. Unfortunately we have no details about the device and we don’t even have a name for it. Listed as the A3LSLCU100, this LTE modem could be one of Kalmia’s brothers. No pictures of the devices are available at this point as Samsung has a 180 days confidentiality window that begun on September 24. That means we will be in for a long wait until we’re going to see the A3LSLCU100 in the flesh. Anyone excited about LTE yet?

AT&T is a serious company and it will not stand being made fun of. Sure in this case being made fun of means actually losing a few million dollars. AT&T has filed a suit in San Francisco against LG, Samsung, Chunghua, AU Optronics and others claiming that they all conspired in order to raise cell phone LCD prices exactly when the carrier purchased 300 million handsets. That’s surely not nice and if AT&T were to win, we can expect the defendants to pay a lot of cash to the carrier. After all, it’s not the first time LCD price-fixers would pay for their wrong doings!

It has been a while, since we have reported on the Blue Earth from Samsung, and it appears that the solar paneled phone will be making its first appearance as scheduled in October, in Sweden. Yes, it will eventually show up in other European countries such as France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal with others to follow, but the United States is suspiciously absent from this list.
