With all the new phones AT&T revealed over the past few days we started to miss those iPhone rumors which are characteristic for this period of the year. But the WWDC is almost here folks and back are the rumors. Now we hear that Apple will announce no less than six new iPhone versions and a whole new iPod nano.

The new iPhone will be available in 16GB and 32GB versions and it will support different radio protocols: 3G, enhanced 3G and TD-SCDMA. You do the math and you will end up with six different versions.

The iPod nano rumor is a bit strange since nobody is really waiting for a new one. It looks like the new model will bring you a 1.5:1 screen, an integrated digital camera and a smaller click wheel. What we are expecting is a new iPod touch which should be similar to the new iPhone in specs. But let’s wait for facts, shall we?

Hundreds of athletes will be tested at this year’s Olympics. Talent, willpower and stamina will be placed on the line with this event. Samsung, as the official Olympic wireless communication provider since 1996 will also be put to the test as its TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) phones becomes the official 3G handset for over 18,000 Olympic staff members and journalists during the games.

This standard 3G connectivity developed in China allows the Samsung SGH-i688 and SGH-L288, both TD-SCDMA phones, to access Wireless Olympic Works (WOW) and has privileges to access OCM2008 (Olympic Communication Messaging) 2008. It will provide schedules, weather, and results. Samsung’s devices will allow WOW access without having to switch between mobile handsets, walkie-talkies and PDAs.

Here are four phones that can access all features above:

1. E848: world’s thinnest slider-type phone
2. SGH-F268: slider-type, with a 2.1-inch display
3. SGH-L288: candybar-type model with a 2.6-inch screen
4. SGH-i688: slider-type that runs on Windows Mobile, which will be issued to 2,000 VIPs during the games, including Olympic officials

Samsung SGH i688 is the handset that only work in TD-SCDMA network. The rest can be used in 3G or 3.5G connectivity.
