T-Mobile has added the Samsung t339 and Nokia 6301 Wi-Fi + UMA capable handsets to its HotSpot@Home service.

Both phones can swich between GSM and VoIP based connections and are available starting today.

Check out this new slider from Samsung. The J800 LUXE will be available in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America this month for around $400.

Sprint subscribers can now get their hands on the new Samsung Instinct. Originally we thought it would cost $200, but to be make a good competition to the 3G iPhone the CDMA carrier had to cut the price. Now the Instinct costs $129.99 with a 2-year agreement after a $100 mail-in rebate.

Just to let you know, Samsung D780 is now available in gold Olympic edition. And here's what it features:

• GSM / EDGE (900/1800/1900);
• 2.1" QVGA 262K color display;
• 2Mpix CMOS camera;
• Bluetooth 2.0;
• USB 2.0;
• stereo FM radio;
• MP3/WMA/e-AAC+ support;
• mobile printing (BPP, PictBridge);
• microSD support;
• Size: 115x49.

We're no sure pabout You probably know that AT&T-branded Samsung SGH-i780 will be renamed to i788. Well, here's a new rumor: this phone could actually be the upcoming Blackjack 3. And why not, with all those great features, some of which are lacking on the Blackjack II:

• Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS;
• 3G HSDPA;
• Optical touchpad with stylus;
• Forward-facing camera;
• WiFi;
• GPS.

Today Sprint announced they would start selling the Samsung Instinct on June 20 for just $129.99 with a 2-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate. Cheaper than the 3G iPhone, you think? Wrong... In order to activate the phone, you must subscribe for one of Sprint's unlimited data plans. And while the cheapest plan will cost you $69.99 per month (with 450 minutes of talk-time), the price for the handset becomes the same as iPhone's.

Apparently, Samsung is planning to launch its new SPH-W5000 pretty soon. The phone's photo was posted on the company's website, and I must say it looks great. And now let's take a look at its features:
Samsung SPH-W5000 specs:

• Dimensions: 100.4 x 50.5 x 13.5 mm;
• Weight: 96 g;
• WAP/MMS;
• Triband GSM (900/1800/1900MHz), WCDMA, HSDPA 3.

Samsung has finally announced its i900 Omnia. We knew about its features long before its announcement, but let's recap them anyway:

• Networks: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE + HSDPA 7.2Mbps;
• Connectivity: USB, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), Wi-Fi;
• Display: 3.2" WQVGA (240×400 pixels) touchscreen;
• Camera: 5Mpix with auto-focus, ace and smile detection, auto-panorama shots;
• OS/UI: Windows Mobile 6.

Unlike what we seen previously, this new photo of the Samsung SGH-i900 is clear and finally gives us the full idea of how the device looks.

While the phone offers some decent specifications like a 240 x 400 display, 5Mpix camera, 16GB of onboard memory, HSDPA, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, we somehow have a feeling it will cost much more than we think...

According to a leaked presentation from Verizon, the carrier will apparently be offering the Samsung i770 and Treo 800w smartphones in the near future.

• The Samsung i770 is an upgrade to the i760 model, which doubles the memory, has a better 2Mpix camera and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 OS.
  
• Regarding the Treo 800w, it will be available in Q3 2008.
