Samsung i8320 FCC Approved

A new phone from Samsung will be soon released in the market after gaining FCC approval. The new phone is the Linux-based Samsung i8320 which is reported to be in the final stages of production.

The new Samsung i8320 features a full touchscreen keypad and indicates that it may be a flip phone too. We all know that Samsung has been known for producing flip phones and so if the Samsung i8320 is one, it will not be a surprise.

Aside from that, no other features have been released just yet. But since it has already gained FCC approval, you can bet that in a couple of days, these features will be released.

  • When Motorola’s original RAZR hit the scene it effectively took the world by storm. Consumers near-and-far were attracted to its sleek design despite it not featuring any ground breaking features.

    Well here we are years later and the RAZR is still popular enough that Motorola has releases a LuK Hot Pink version for the South Korean market. Technology has progressed a bit, and so has this phone. The LuK Hot Pink RAZR will feature 7.2Mbps HSDPA, video call capabilities and Bluetooth.

    Of course, it’s ~$400 price tag probably wouldn’t spurr up much interest here in the States but perhaps the Korean market will take to it better.

  • A new compact flip phone has been unveiled by Samsung Electronics in cooperation with Metro PCS Corp. The sleek, compact flip design of the Samsung Tint makes it both durable and fashionable. The Samsung Tint includes grey and pink faceplates as a standard accessory to help match the user’s style.

    Additional faceplates are also available in various colors. This handset also features customizable wallpaper, banner themes and fonts to personalize the visual experience on the Samsung Tint.

    The Samsung Tint is equipped with a powerful feature set, including an integrated camera, SMS, MMS, email and IM messaging capabilities, advanced voice recognition, Bluetooth wireless technology and speakerphone for easy, hands-free operation.

    For immediate access to family and friends, the Samsung Tint offers ChatLINK℠ a push-to-talk social networking tool that works like a walkie-talkie. Users can simply push a button and talk without dialing to individuals or groups with compatible phones.

    With the Samsung Tint, MetroPCS subscribers will be able to navigate the mobile Web, download ringtones and graphics and interact with social networks without having to use a laptop or PC.

    MetroPCS’ plans for its wide variety of other phones range from $30 to $50 per month and allow subscribers to talk all they want, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. Unlike most carriers, MetroPCS does not require a signed contract, which means that consumers can activate service without going through a credit check or paying a deposit.
