ASUS announced they'll be launching their new P560 smartphone next month.

The device was announced at CeBIT earlier this year; it runs the new Windows Mobile Professional 6.1 OS and features HSDPA, Wi-Fi, 3.2Mpix autofocus cam, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, GPS, microSDHC slot, 256MB of ROM, 128MB of RAM, and more.

The price is pretty high, though - €500 (about $772).

This is a product rendering of the future Xenium X-Connect phone by Philips.

It is a Windows Mobile 6 based smartphone with a 3" touchscreen, and such goodies like 3G UMTS/HSDPA radios, GPS receiver, AA/AAA battery backup, microSD slot, and Bluetooth 2.0 all powered by a 624MHz Intel processor.

Unfortunately, Philips Xenium cell phones are primarily found in Asia Pacific region, so we wouldn't count of seeing this one in Europe or U.

As we expected earlier, RIM has finally announced the BlackBerry 9000.

It is indeed codenamed Bold, and will soon be available from AT&T, which is said to be the exclusive carrier in the U.S.

The price is still unknown, unfortunately. Here are some of the specs:

• HSDPA or EV-DO (including an AWS-capable 1700MHz version);
  
• 480 x 320 resolution display;
  
• 625MHz CPU;
  
• 1GB of internal flash memory;
  
• 802.

Verizon has finally officially announced the Samsung Glyde smartphone for its CDMA network.

In fact, the phone needs no introduction, we know enough about it. It is a CDMA slider that has a 2Mpix camera with flash and autofocus, GPS, full range of Bluetooth profiles, microSD slot, a true HTML browser, and no support for VCAST TV service (like anyone cares).

Here's a fresh rumor: Nokia's new E71 smartphone will probably be released on May 8th in the U.S.

It will feature a slim body, 3.5G data support, GPS, Wi-Fi, a camera with autofocus and a full QWERTY keyboard.

Pricing and carrier details are unknown yet. We'll tell you more, once we know it...
