The Samsung SCH-i760 pocket PC phone was approved by FCC a few months ago, more exactly in April, and the current rumors tell us that the phone was currently seen at the Verizon Wireless website, but unfortunately there is no real evidence besides the screen shot that you can see on the image.

Anyhow, the Samsung SCH-i760 features Windows Mobile 6 as the operative system and provides the ability to run Microsoft Office and to open its different format files such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint. It has a "big" sliding keyboard that comes in QWERTY style so you can type easier.

Now here's an interesting phone from Samsung. Like the Nokia N95, the new Samsung G600 features a huge 5-megapixel resolution camera.

This GSM phone was approved in the beginning of July (FCC documents are available here, but as usual reveal nothing except that it s a phone made in Korea by Samsung. The full model name is Samsung SGH-G600.

The phone comes with a microSD memory card slot and, as can be guessed, the usual suspects: media player, Bluetooth and a USB interface for data sync. No word on the pricing or availability yet, though, so let's watch out for this one and see how it compares to the Nokia N95.

Samsung UK has introduced its latest digital camera range with the launch of the L730 Camera. This compact model is expected to ship at a suggested price of £119. The cameras in Metallic Silver finish are supposed to feature a 2.5-inch LCD screen, movie capture mode in 320x240 to 800x592, 3X optical zoom, ISO to 1600, 16 MB of internal memory (plus SD support to 4GB), and Digimax Master software. L730 like he latest cameras is equipped with advanced technologies including Intelligent Face Recognition Technology, auto focus and auto exposure for superb image quality in portraits. Samsung L730 is not yet officially announced. So, we need to wait for a while. Don’t worry, say connected for updates.

Samsung has launched another cellphone in the Korean market, the SCH-B710. It has a cool feature that makes the cellphone have a strange shape – it is the “swing-type” LCD screen that measures 2.2-inches with a Picture in Picture function.

The Samsung SCH-B710 cellphone has a 1.3 megapixel camera to shoot photos and record videos that supports panorama mode. The wireless connectivity feature is bluetooth, and to store the multimedia files there is an external memory – cards.

The best features stays for last, which is the support for S-DMB and T-DMB. It means Digital Multimedia Broadcasting – being able to watch TV or listen to radio on the cellphone.

In order to match all the hype under the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Samsung folks decided to add a new cellphone to their list: Samsung P318+.

This is an upgrade, or if you like to call it, special edition, of the previous Samsung P310 phone but it has some new features and specifications never seen before, such as: 18k of gold on the exterior, and plenty of extra data with the Olympic Games as the theme – ringtones, wallpapers, etc.

For now there isn't any information about the price or release date, but be assured that it won't come cheap. If this is a limited edition I guess there will be some lucky people selling them on eBay for a fortune.

Check out this pretty interesting concept from Samsung. Their new concept integrates a male USB adaptor into the cellphones antenna. It provides a smart and convenient solution for powering up and charging a cellphone. You wont have to worry about losing your usb cord connection since it's built right into the phone. All you need is an US connection from something that will be able to charge the phone. The idea is pretty marketable, giving users a friendly USB connection.
