Virgin Mobile, which recently bagged the Samsung Slash phone, officially announced the addition to its line-up. A slider phone available in a compact form-factor, the phone features a basic VGA camera (I remember my Nokia 3650 which had a VGA camera in 2004) as well as Bluetooth.

Other goodies on the phone include IM, text messaging and email capability. There’s also speakerphone capability and voice-activated dialing. Preloaded games include Gameloft Jukebox and Superscape Demo. The phone measures 3.8″ x 1.8″ x 0.7″, and weighs 3 oz.

Priced at US $79.99, the Virgin Mobile Slash by Samsung is now available.

Building upon its predecessors, the Nokia N810 tablet is being touted as a new phase in portable internet communication. Whether you are near a Wi-Fi hotspot or have your Bluetooth-capable mobile phone, you can take advantage of the N810 to make internet calls. The N810 features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a touch-scren interface. There’s also a VGA camera for video conferencing.

One of the big plus-points of the N810 is the integrated GPS receiver and pre-loaded maps. It comes with tons of POIs, and you have the option to upgrade to Wayfinder’s voice-guided navigation. You can easily carry it in your pocket or in the car. The large 4.13 inch , 800×480 pixels resolution widescreen is great to fit in your palm, and with an optional 10GB memory card you can carry up to 7500 songs. Nokia claims up to 45 hours of music playback on the device.
