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...

We have the official specs of the new HTC Touch Diamond smartphone. Impressive or not very - you be the judge. The handset should be available for European customers in June, with US availability scheduled for the second half of the year.

• Size: 102 x 51 x 11.33mm;
• Weight: 110 g;
• Connectivity: WCDMA/HSPA: 900/2100MHz; HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA;
• Operating system: Windows Mobile® 6.

Today we present specifications for three yet unannounced, but highly anticipated HTC smartphones - HTC Touch Pro (Raphael), HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Dual Pro (Titanium).

Hopefully, atleast one of them will be released on May 6rth.

HTC Touch Pro (Raphael):

• Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional;
• 256MB ROM / 128MB RAM;
• Qualcomm MSM 7201A @ 528MHz;
• 7.

Nokia's online store for Spain has a Nokia N78 in pearl white color.

However, the device is not available for order yet, but the price is there - 419 Euro.

The Nokia N78 has integrated A-GPS with free Nokia Maps, WLAN and high-speed HSPDA 3G connectivity, a 3.2Mpix camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and microSD card support.

AT&T started selling WiFi-less BlackBerry 8110.

This model looks like the BlackBerry Pearl 8120; it comes in a choice of red and "titanium", lacks Wi-Fi, but adds GPS navigation instead.

You can get the 8110 now for $149.99 after contract and rebates, $50 cheaper than its counterpart.

The new Airis T482 GPS-enabled PDA Phone will be available within a few days in France, and possibly later throughout the rest of Europe. The handset will retail for 424 Euros with French maps or for 478 Euros with Europe wide coverage.

Known specs are as following:

• Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz);
• 3.2" touchscreen;
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth;
• Marvel PXA270 processor and Philips Grangonfly SS6120 processors;
• 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM;
• GPS chip SiRFStar III and CoPilot Live 7 software (optional);
• FM Radio;
• microSD card slot;
• Windows Mobile 6 OS;
• Dimensions: 125×62x14 mm;
• Weight: 165 grams.

FCC has recently revealed the new Samsung SGH-i788, and apparently it is the U.S. version of the existing i780 model.

It is quite possible that the new model won't feature all the same specs as its older brother (HSDPA, GPS or Wi-Fi may be lacking on this one), but it will surely keep the touchscreen, and will most likely run the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 OS.

Stay tuned for more details.

AT&T announced the availability of the Motorola Z9, the slider variant of the RAZR2 V9.

The phone comes in a deep burgundy color and features a 2Mpix camera, integrated GPS, microSD slot for additional memory and an MP3 player.

The carrier offers the Moto Z9 for $149.99 after an on-line discount and a 2-year service agreement.

Apparently, the launch of the anticipated RIM BlackBerry 9000 will be delayed until July or August, instead of late May as previously rumored.

The device will be available from AT&T and will feature integrated GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 2 or 3.2 megapixel camera, as well as support for GSM and 3G HSDPA networks.
