Sure, we’ve seen pictures of the Motorola Sholes before but they have all been blurry, too small, or just downright unpleasent to look at.

Today, BGR has gotten their hands on the above picture of the device and for once you can actually see all of its features. Of course, there isn’t much we don’t already know; it’s a slider, it’s shipping for Verizon Wireless and it runs Android.

We’ll keep you updated regarding a release date.

That BL20 Chocolate phone has just been announced and we have a price for you guys. It’s going to cost 269 Euros in European markets so expect it to be even cheaper when it hits the States. The phone is not to be mistaken with the BL40 Chocolate, a different creation from LG, which is also about to hit the streets soon.

The slider comes with a 2.4-inch QVGA display, quad-band GSM/EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA connectivity, 130MB of internal memory space, microSD support up to 8GB, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, video recording and LED flash. Is that enough for you or would you rather get the BL40?

Samsung has a brand new phone for us but this one is not as impressive as some of the recent smartphones created by the company. The C5130 is a slider phone which lines perfectly with Samsung’s previous creations. The phone is rather an entry-level gadget which will probably be available for a more than decent price, if not free, with new contracts from different carriers.

The C5130 comes with quad-band GSM/EDGE and UMTS 3G connectivity, a 2-inch display, Bluetooth 2.0, a 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD support, FM radio and music player capabilities. As you can clearly see, the C5130 is decent handset but maybe you’re looking for something more than decent.

What you see above is a recently released image of the Sony Ericsson Aino that comes to us as part of the device’s FCC filing. We’ve heard of this device once before, when Sony Ericsson first announced it, but at that time its release date was still a ways off.

Now, we still don’t have a release date but at least we know that a North American 3G version of the Aino is officially on its way. Couple that with the phone’s 3-inch touchscreen, slide out keypad, 8.1 megapixel camera and GPS and you have yourself a a none too shabby device.

What you see above is the first ever Open Market Handset compliant cellphone from Samsung entitled the Mpower 699.

Asyou can see, the phone is nothing special featuring a simple slide out keypad and other basic features but the real gem is the included U-RIM slot that allows for use on any Indian CDMA carrier and the fact that it retails for about $145.

Luckily, for those of you who don’t like the look of this particular handset, Samsung hopes to release an additional 5 Open Market Handset compliant phones in India by next year.

It seems that Vertu isn’t the only one targeting the extremely rich/extremely luxurious crowd as Motorola too has an offering: the Ivory E18, pictured above.

Before the development of the Ivory E18 was called off, it was said to feature a 3MP and a slider with 2 positions, one for just the navigation buttons and one for the full keypad.

As for a price, well, Motorola took a hint from Vertu there too as it was estimated to be close to $3,000. This high price caused with lack of carrier interest led to the phones demise. Does anyone actually buy these?

It seems that hot on the heels of LG’s recently pictured BL40 is it’s brethren the BL42 slider. Pictured above is said handset which will also fall into LG’s Black Label series of devices.

Details haven’t been confirmed but reports say the device features a 240×320 resolution display, a 5MP display and a Java based operating system.

But honestly, who needs the BL42 when you can opt for the 4.1-inch touchscreen touting BL40? Well, maybe those on the budget assuming this phone is cheaper than the BL40. Either or, there was no mention of a price point or release date.

Despite the fact that the site isn’t in English, you can check out more pictures of the device, here.

One more slider is coming to AT&T and that’s the LG Monaco. Its specs include a 3.2-inch WVGA touchscreen, a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, microSDHC support and HSDPA connectivity.

The Monaco sounds a lot better than the Pantech Aladdin doesn’t it? And the Monaco will come with a Pico projector and it will run Windows Mobile 7. That means you’ll probably have to wait about a year to get your hands on it.

The Helio in the picture here is a Helio slider phone which might or might not see the light of day. It is said it was made by Samsung based on the Samsung F400 and branded with B&O and Armani but we have no idea if Virgin or anyone else is going to pick this phone and launch it to the public. It’s also supposed to be multimedia-friendly but we didn’t have a chance to go over an official specs sheet.
