FCC has approved a new mid-range Sony Ericsson phone, the G702. According to documentation it supports GSM/EDGE 850/1900 radios, and features Bluetooth connectivity, 3.2Mpix camera, M2 memory card slot, and a touchscreen display. The user manual also mentions 3G, Wi-Fi, and GPS, but these features are not listed in the FCC filings.

ASOCS and Fujitsu have developed a new wireless processor called MP100.

This single chip can support GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi, Mobile TV, and GPS, while at the same time reducing production costs by 50% and power consumption by 70%. Impressive, and that's not all: ASOCS MP100 is also software reconfigurable, which means that a simple software update can enable support for future technologies like LTE or WiMax.

 

This is the new Samsung SGH-i900 (Anycall i908).

Does it remind you of something? Judging by its specs this handset is rather a media centre then a phone. It has everything one might need. I'm almost in love. :)

Some of the specs of the upcoming Sony Ericsson's P5 Paris have been unveiled recently by a forum user, who took several clear shots of the phone.

He said the phone featured A-GPS, a 5Mpix camera, 2.6" display, Google Maps, and a QWERTY keypad.

Apparently he wasn't impressed with what he saw, but anyway, this info is unofficial, so don't take it too serious.

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...

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.
