Watch out for a new handset to be released in the market from Samsung Electronics. Following reports that its latest mobile device got FCC approval, the Samsung SCH-R560 is bound to be another top mobile phone that many will be looking forward to checking out and eventually owning.

The R560 is actually the upgraded version of the Samsung R450 which is smaller and less bulkier. The feature which may most likely get the eye of mobile geeks is the 2MP camera/camcorder that comes with it. You can use the pad to move around the menu or spin it and plays videos. You can use the internet with the key pad closed unlike the R450.

For mobile geeks aching to get their hands on an HTC TouchPro 2, here is your chance as there is one available at eBay. There is one being held up for grabs and is being sold for $899.

WMPowerUser spied it when it had a “But it now” price of $899, but it looks like it’s been relisted and will now see how high the price will go by 11 p.m. EST March 27.

The top bid was $475. But before you throw your bid in the ring, do note that while this is an unlocked GSM phone, it only has the 3G radio bands used outside the U.S. So if you are looking for this phone and you want to get your hands on one that is unlocked at that, check it out.
