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!

Samsung announced today the unveiling of the YP-VX1, a voice recorder. The YP-VX1 has more than just voice recording with MP3 playback and ID3 support, as well as the company’s DNSe sound enhancement technology.
Chances are, it will probably only have a Korean release, so don’t expect to get your hands on one unless you live there, and there is no word on pricing or availability.

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.
At least we know more about the release of the Blue Earth! Oh, wait. We still don’t have word of the price as yet.

There’s a new Samsung Armani phone in town, the SPH-W8200 and we have all the details about it. The slider phone will come equipped with a 3.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, a DMB TV tuner, 5-megapixel camera, HSDPA and Bluetooth connectivity and microSD support. This Armani phone doesn’t seem too bad does it? Unfortunately we can expect it to cost a lot more than any other similar phone that doesn’t happen to have a Giorgio Armani logo on top of it. In case you can’t afford it, there’s always the Omnia II which is an even better choice!

Rumors have just surfaced that suggest that Samsung’s Omnia II will be hitting Verizon Wireless sometime later this month.
That’s all fine and dandy considering the Omnia II is a beautiful handset but there’s just one problem with this rumor; Verizon’s Omnia II is expected to ship with Windows Mobile 6.1. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that Windows Mobile 6.5 powered devices will be shipping later this month, so why not the Omnia II?
Well, the same rumors say that although a 6.5 update will be in the pipeline it won’t actually be pushed out until some time after the phone goes on sale.
If this is true, what gives?

A new connector is coming to your future cell phones and mobile devices and its solely purpose is to connect said device to HDTVs and display. The Mobile High-Definition Interface Working Group will conceive it soon as various companies have already agreed upon such a bold endeavor. Nokia, Samsung, Toshiba, Sony and Silicon Image will work together to create the new standard. The question is, do we really need a new standard in our lives? After all we already have so many and with Apple’s and Intel’s Light Peak universal connector that’s coming in a couple of years there isn’t much point for devising an HD-only standard. What are your thoughts on the matter?
