What you see above is the result of a partnership between Samsung and Giorgio Armani to develop a luxury-esque handset. Said handset is the Samsung M7500.

This handset runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and features a 3.5-inch AMOLED touch screen, slide out QWERTY keyboard, a 5mp camera and DivX/Xvid support.

There iwas no word on pricing or availability but considering it has the Giorgio Armani branding it probably won’t come cheap.

Last week we brought you a preview of Nokia’s Maemo 5 powered N900, and now we bring you the first official press renders of the device.

If you’re just checking in, the N900 is said to feature a 3.5 inch screen, accelerometer, 5MP camera, 32GB of internal storage and GPS, among other things.

As for a release date, well, considering Nokia hasn’t even officially released the above image yet, I think it’s safe to say it’s still a ways off.

Previously, we’ve shown you leaked pictures of the HTC Whitestone however, at that time we didn’t have any solid confirmation (besides a few rumors) of a carrier. Today, however, more leaked renders of the phone have been revealed with it sporting Verizon’s branding.

The specs are right on par with what we told you before, a 528MHz Qualcomm processor, 5MP camera, 3.6-inch display and Windows Mobile 6.1.

As for a solid release date, we have none, so we are instead forced to play the waiting game.

Verizon has recently announced that they have recently released the much sought after firmware update for the Samsung Omnia that will unlock the even more sought after GPS unlock.

The Omnia has been a decent contender in the smartphone market ever since its creation with its Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, 624MHz processor, 128MB RAM/256MB ROM, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 5MP camera but without GPS it was overshadowed by a lot of phones with it.

Now that the phone has had its GPS functionality enabled it can finally recieve the credit it deserves.

It seems that hot on the heels of LG’s recently pictured BL40 is it’s brethren the BL42 slider. Pictured above is said handset which will also fall into LG’s Black Label series of devices.

Details haven’t been confirmed but reports say the device features a 240×320 resolution display, a 5MP display and a Java based operating system.

But honestly, who needs the BL42 when you can opt for the 4.1-inch touchscreen touting BL40? Well, maybe those on the budget assuming this phone is cheaper than the BL40. Either or, there was no mention of a price point or release date.

Despite the fact that the site isn’t in English, you can check out more pictures of the device, here.

LG is proud to announce that their GT500 handset has officially launched exclusively on T-Mobile UK.Sure, it’s no BL40 but the GT500 still packs a punch with its 3-inch touchscreen, 5MP camera with autofocus, image stabilization and digital zoom.

Additionally, the GT500 will feature high quality built-in Dolby 2.0 sound (but no 3.5mm headphone jack) and A-GPS. To remedy the fact that it has no headphone jack LG will ship compatible headphones in the box. Storage wise it will feature 130MB of internal storage with a micro SD slot for expansion.

No word on if we will ever see this device Stateside.
