We’ve seen a lot of Samsung phones released this year but Samsung will release even more. At some recent dealer event in Amsterdam, the cell phone maker leaked 13 new handsets. One of them is that first Android Samsung phone which we’ve seen earlier so we have 12 more to take a look at. Only one phone has been properly announced during the presentation so we don’t have that much to work with besides the picture above.

That phone is the OmniaHD which is a full touchscreen S60 5th Edition. It will be only 12.7mm-thin and it will offer you Windows Mobile 6.5, a 3.7-inch AMOLED display, WiFi, GPS and an 8 megapixel camera that also knows how to shoot 720p videos

• the B5702, which we’ve already shown you, will get you a 2.4-inch TFT
• the S3310 will come with a 2.1-inch QVGA display, microSD expansion slot and FM radio
• the E2210 is a clamshell phone with a 160 x 128 display and a VGA camera
• the E1125 and E1210 come with 128 x 128 displays, GSM connectivity but no data support and 300/200 contact phone books
• the E1100 comes with a 1.53 inch display and dual-band GSM support
• the C5212 will get you dual SIM, a 2.2-inch 262K color display, a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, up to 4GB microSD upgrade, Bluetooth, USB and a 1.3 megapxiel camera
• the E1360 will be an entry lever phone and it will come with a 1.77 inch 65k color CSTN display and dual-band GSM support.

I guess it finally paid screaming at Motorola to start making some sense again in the mobile business. No more RAZR, ROKR spin-offs. We need those new phones we’ve seen already today. And it looks like we have even more. Besides the four we’ve already shown you, we have three more handsets to look at.

These are the Niagra, the Fairbanks and the Harmony. The Niagra, here above, is a slider phone with a totally new design. Below you’ll find the other two handsets. From left to right these are the Fairbanks and the Harmony. These are two clamshell phones that bring touch-sensitive display to the table. Arrivel dates? 2009 we hope. Carrier? Verizon is written all over these three phones too. Prices? Unknown!

The X800 is impressive with its huge edge-to-edge screen and its sleek dark looks, but that would only appeal premium cell phone users who want more than just phone calls and text messages. Now, Philips is looking to tap the low-range market with the announcement of two new phones, the 198 and 199, which are affordable and functional. Although both the 198 and 199 are similar in their candybar form factor and simple design, the 199 is a step-up over the 198 with an FM Radio . Otherwise, both the phones have the same 1.5 inch display of 62k colors, a four-way navigation key, SMS/MMS, and T9 text input. The miniUSB support is a mystery though, as there is no way to expand memory and being low end, there probably won’t be any substantial storage integrated. All this runs off a 800 mAh battery which can provide up to 5 hours of talktime and 20 days on standby. Only dual-band GSM 900/1800 MHz frequencies are supported along with GPRS and WAP connectivity. The three games onboard add a flavor of entertainment to these otherwise ho-hum devices.

The Philips 198 and 199 will be available for now in Russia at a price of $62 and $70 respectively. Now that’s a steal!

Do you know what MEMS device is? It’s a micro electro-mechanical system device like some of the current microphones in use. Well apparently top handset vendors are thinking of exploiting MEMS too. By the first quarter of 2009 new handsets with dual MEMS microphones are to be released. Until then we are led to believe these handsets will enter development later this year just in time to meat the deadlines.

MEMS microphones for phones have been used more and more and they are expected to reach one billion by 2011 or more than 70% of all handset microphones or so do research say. We wouldn’t know that yet. We’d like to find out more about those new MEMS dual microphones to be developed.
