Jeeze, Samsung is really on a roll today, first the Jet then the Omnia II and now the Omnia LITE. This handset is obviously a lesser version of Samsung’s other recently announced (hence the LITE branding) but it still packs a punch nonetheless.

The Omnia LITE features a touchscreen (no word on specs), a 3MP camera, Windows Mobile, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, an Opera web browser and Samsung’s TouchWiz 2.0 UI.

As you can see Samsung didn’t release many details regarding the LITE, presumably letting the Jet and Omnia II take the spotlight, but we will keep you updated as the story unfolds.

Pharos has revealed a new member to its Traveler line giving T-Mobile users another option if GPS is the keyword in their search.  The aGPS aside, the Pharos has much more to offer compared to the previous models in the Traveler series. For starters, it’s expansive 3.5-inch wide VGA screen should suffice to help you forget there ever was a device called the iPhone and its versatile network support for GPRS/EDGE, 3G, UMTS, HSDPA at 7.2Mbps, and 2 Mbps HSUPA on US and European bands must have you speed freaks on the high already.  There’s 512MB of flash memory onboard with SDHC memory card support and the 528MHz processor aided by 256MB RAM should keep this baby humming Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional without a glitch.  WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, and aGPS make up its connectivity options with an FM tuner and a 3-megapixel camera thrown in for good measure to make it a damn decent device.

The Pharos Traveler 137 smartphone is set to make an appearance in the first quarter of 2009 at a well-deserved price of $600.

We are surprised this didn’t leak out much earlier, given that AT&T has been tinkering with the thing in its labs for some time now. May be LG and AT&T know a few more tricks than Nokia and Sony Ericsson who seem to be having considerable difficulty keeping future handsets under wraps. Anyways, the LG Xenon’s specs is pretty impressive with quad-band GSM, dual-band UMTS/HSDPA support, a 2.8-inch display of 240×480 resolution, Bluetooth 2.0, USB and WiFi connectivity, 100MB of internal space with up to 16GB of microSD expansion, and a sliding QWERTY keyboard underneath it all. There’s also the ubiquitous aGPS receiver and accelerometer with a proximity sensor to boot. With a name like Xenon, you think they would have snuck in a better lens, but this Xenon seems easily satisfied with a 3-megapixel camera. On the whole, not a bad package, which might be headed our way this Christmas at an unknown price.
