The NAM version of the Nokia N85 has started shipping, so all those who have pre-ordered the device previously will get it as soon as possible. Also, AT&T customers looking for a good North America 3G smartphone now have a great option to choose.

The FCC has approved the new Amoi INQ1, a phone designed for those who love social networking. It integrates last.fm, Skype and Windows Live Messenger, and comes with a 2.2" 262k color QVGA display, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps and a 3.2Mpix camera.

Dell has introduced its latest Pharos Traveler 619 smartphone today. Available for pre-order now for $199.95. Looks like nothing special to me:

• 2.8" VGA touchscreen;
• Full QWERTY keyboard;

• 3.5G support;
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE;
• GPS;
• Windows Mobile 6;

Speaking about Samsung's T-OMNIA that will be released on November 27th in South Korea, it has come to our attention that it will come with a 806MHz CPU, which is pretty impressive for a smartphone. That's just to let you know. Other features include:

• 480x800 touchscreen display;
• CPU: 806Mhz (vs. 624Mhz);
• S-DMB Digital TV tuner;
• UMTS/HSDPA 7.

The new NEC N-01A is an interesting piece. It offers three different display modes allowing you to use the phone in different ways. Touch Style mode makes the phone a full touchscreen device, the Share style is a special mode for watching videos, and Communication Style mode turns the N-01A into an upwards slider with a standard keypad.

Features of the N-01A include:

• 5Mpix camera with autofocus;
• VGA resolution display;
• HSDPA data;
• Built-in 1Seg tuner

The NEC N-01A should be available in Japan on November 21st for a yet undisclosed price.

Introducing the DoCoMo Prime F-01A, a new all-in-one phone from Fujitsu. The phone is a real "mustbuy" considering all those hi-tech features packed into a genuine Japanese-style (square, that is) casing.

Here's what it offers:

• GSM/WCDMA/HSDPA support;
• 3.5” WVGA touchscreen;
• 5.2Mpix Camera with AF and Face Detection;
• VGA video @ 30fps (MP4);
• microSD card slot (up to 8GB);
• DCMX eWallet;
• IPX5 and IPX7 specification (works underwater at a depth of 1m for 30min);
• Fingerprint reader

Japan only, as always.

This is the new IcePhone, or rather a micro notebook, as dubbed by the manufacturer. The root Ice stands for In Case of Emergency, which means the device is definitely not targeted at the fashion-addicted market segment.

The IcePhone comes with three independent panels, which include a 3" touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a mouse pad and game console controls.

The AT&T's Holiday lineup is now fully available due to today's release of the mid-range touchscreen smartphone called LG Incite.
