Psst: Rumor Has It That Samsung i780 Phone is Spotted

September 25, 07 by You Teck

It seems like the Samsung i780 has hit the market and the pocket pc was spotted just this week. Probably you won’t noticed its glossy surface through the picture above but you’ll definitely get a better view in the video.Quick Stats:

  • Supports 3G network and HSDPA connectivity
  • 2.55-inch LCD display
  • 3.2 Megapixel camera
  • WiFi 802.11b/g
  • GPS navigation
  • Bluetooth
  • a microSD card slot.
  • QWERTY full keyboard
  • Touchscreen
  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional OS

Other than its HSDPA capability the other cool part about this pocket pc is its navigable mouse pointer located right below the screen. The neat little tool certainly will come in useful when it’s not that convenient to use the stylus. I’ll leave it to the video to show you how it works instead of blabbering any further.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. For all of you who are dreaming sweet thoughts of the HTC Kaiser like I am, we’re one step closer to seeing the vision come true. Today, the company announced the HTC TyTN II for Europe; hopefully signifying that the U.S. launch won’t be too far behind.

Despite the different naming scheme, the TyTN II is the same smart phone as the Kaiser we’ve discussed before on Crave. The Windows Mobile 6 device features a 2.8-inch, QVGA touch screen that slides out and tilts up to give you a better view for reading and creating e-mails, work documents, and so forth.

It’s also fully stocked with Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), Bluetooth 2.0, HSDPA, and GPS. Other goodies include a 3-megapixel camera, 256MB ROM/128MB ROM, and a microSD slot. The TyTN II will launch with various carriers throughout Europe, including Orange, T-Mobile, and Vodafone, starting in September. You can check out the full press release here [PDF file].

So what about us here in the States? Well, given that the quadband GSM smart phone includes HSDPA support and only one of the two GSM carriers–AT&T and T-Mobile–has rolled out its 3.5G network, it’s pretty safe to assume it’ll land at AT&T.

In fact, there are rumors that the HTC TyTN II/Kaiser will be rebranded as the AT&T 8925 (as the successor to the AT&T 8525) and/or AT&T Tilt. CrunchGear is reporting that the mobile could be available as early as September 3 for $499 with a two-year contract, but there’s been no official confirmation from either HTC or AT&T.

The Nokia N81 will rock you (and your wallet)

September 02, 07 by Alvin

Remember back in May when we teased you with some enticing photos of the yet-to-be-confirmed Nokia N81 and Nokia N82? Well, my friends, we tease you no more.

The company today officially unveiled the Nokia N81 multimedia computer, with expected availability in Q4. It’s likely that the N81 will ship in certain European and Asian markets first–possibly in October–but Nokia said there shouldn’t be too much of lag between those launches and the U.S. release. Thank gawd.

There will be two versions of the Nokia N81: an 8GB model and one with a microSD expansion slot that can accept cards up to 4GB.

Both N81s are built for music and gaming with a 3.5mm headphone jack and dedicated game keys (when held in landscape position). The Symbian S60 device will also work with Nokia’s newly launched Ovi Internet brand, where you can download songs from the Nokia Music Store and games from the N-Gage service.

Music fiends should also be pleased that the N81 includes A2DP support for stereo Bluetooth, an FM tuner, side-mounted dual stereo speakers, and support for a number of file formats, including MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, and M4A. As part of the Nokia N series of multimedia computers, the N81 also has RealPlayer onboard for full-screen video playback and a 2-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities.
