Meet the latest mobile “music” phone from Samsung Electronics, the Samsung M3310. The M3310 boasts of a dual slider form factor. For the front panel, just slide it up and you can make use of the keyboard. Also, if you move the slider down, you open the speakers that come with this new handset.

For features, the Samsung M3310 comes with a TFT display with QVGA resolution. It also comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera, music player, FM tuner, Bluetooth and 40MB of internal memory. There is a microSDHC card slot for people who will require larger storage capacities. There is no word yet on availability and pricing for the Samsung M3310 Music Phone.

The E100 is a simple Philips MP3 player phone. I hope it can at least make some calls. It has a built-in music player and that’s about it. It’s simple in design and it kind of reminds me of a Nokia XpressMusic phone.

The phone has a 1.8 inch 160 x 128 screen, GSM/GPRS support, FM radio, 2MB of internal memory and microSD support. The phone will be available in Asia for now and it will cost about $60.

The LiMo foundation announced the new Motorola ROKR EM30 mobile phone, apparently the 22nd handset model based on the LiMo platform. LiMo, for those who came in late, is a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices. You may also remember the Moto ROKR as being one of their music phones, and the EM30 is no different: Motorola claims compelling music features.

The ROKR EM30 will launch first in Taiwan and other markets are expected to follow later. With an LCD display, D-pad navigation and integrated GPS functionality, users can take advantage of any available location based services. The phone uses ModeShift technology to illuminate the keyboard - red keys illuminate in music mode and blue while in phone mode.

With Radio Data System in place, users can know the artist and song playing on the built-in FM radio. The phone features a 3.5mm stereo headset jack.

T-Mobile have announced today that starting May 28th they will be offering the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Phone to all those who want more from their music while on the go.

Let’s take a look at the Nokia 5310:

BoxWave has a bunch of new screen protectors for the Motorola Moto Q music 9m. The models include ClearTouch, Designio Leather Case and Designio Leather Sleeve. The ClearTouch protector is available in two avataars: Crystal and Anti-Glare. The Crystal protector offers true color display, and eliminates 99% of UV, while the Anti-Glare one features a textured finish and offers enhanced contrast.

The Designio Leather Case is hand-crafted and designed to fit the Moto Q music 9m mobile phone. With a padded front cover and accessible interior, the case protects your Moto Q from wear and tear. The Designio Leather Sleeve, like the case, is made of fine grade leather.

The FCC bestowed its approval on the new Sony Ericsson W910i walkman phone that we saw a couple of months ago on the Whack. We should be seeing this soon in stores and elsewhere. The W910i is a HSDPA phone providing high-speed internet access, as well as 3D games.

The phone will be bundled with a 1GB Memory Stick Micro. It’s on target for a Q4 2007 release. Measuring just 99mm x 50mm x 12.5mm, it weighs in at 86 grams. Packaging includes a battery, charger, USB cable, stereo portable handsfree, and PC sync application.

The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic (for some reason listed as the Nokia 5310b XpressMusic in the manuals) mobile phone got approval from the FCC. Featuring an aluminium finish, it is 9.9mm thin and weighs in at just 71 grams.

Nokia claims an 18-hour music playback time (of course, this doesn’t include talk time). The phone can take in microSD memory cards up to 4GB in capacity - good for up to 3000 songs. There’s a 2 megapixel camera on board. The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic also features a 2 inch QVGA screen that offers 16 million colors.

Thanks to the FCC approval, the phone is on target for its Q4 2007 release. Priced at €225 before taxes and subsidies, there’s no info on when it will hit the US markets.

BenQ unveiled three new cell phones targeted at the China market. The BenQ E72, T55 and T33 are the three amigos, with the E72 available in a candy-bar form factor. The cameras come with a 2 megapixel camera, and support the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for enjoying stereo music wirelessly. They also come with microSD memory card support.

The T51 is available in a flip design and comes in a highly compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand. The front of the device, when closed, has music control keys for play/pause, next/previous track and volume controls are available on the side. The T33 on the other hand comes in a slider design. The answer/reject (green/red) buttons on the T33 look a bit weird, like the phone’s eyes or something because of their shape. Photos at a max resolution of 1600×1200 can be taken with these camera phones.

No word on the pricing or availability.
