Sony Ericsson Z780i, a thin clamshell phone with HSDPA 850/1900/2100 and GPS has been approved by the FCC today.

Judging by the available photos the phone is bound for AT&T.

AT&T announced they are about to complete upgrading their 3G network to HSPA (HSDPA + HSUPA).

HSUPA provides upload speeds ranging from 500 to 800Kbps when used with compatible devices, so it's a serious step forward.

The company also said that in a month they will have 275 markets covered by the new network, and by the end of the year they plan to extend it to 350 markets.

 

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. :)

According to a Czech site, E-TEN will be launching the new glofiish DX900 dual-SIM smartphone next month at Computex in Taiwan.

Now, dual-SIM handsets aren't as rare in Asia, as they are in the U.S. It would be great to see these (DX900) on sale stateside, especially with tri-band HSDPA in the mix.

We hope for an official announcement and launch in the nearest future.

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.

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.
