If you're looking for a really durable phone, the new Samsung Ego GT-S9402 is the one for you. It's made of a “liquid metal” composite alloy developed by Caltech, and reportedly is 3 times stronger, withstands 1.8 times the pressure, is 1.6 times more flexible, and has 3 times better vibration absorption and 100% lower thermal conductivity than titanium. In addition, the phone also offers a nice set of features, which however doen't include Wi-Fi and 3G support.

Samsung has introduced its new BizBee Line of business handsets. Sounds good to us, though we should note that in fact Samsung relaunches its i780 with Windows Mobile 6.1.

The first countries to get the phone this month are UK, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands and Spain.

Samsung Omnia has become the first DivX certified handset in the U.S. This basically means that Omnia users will be able to watch DivX videos on the phone's large 3.2" touchscreen display, regardless of whether the video file is stored in the device’s memory or memory card.

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.

Today Verizon Wireless has announced the anticipated CDMA Samsung Omnia today. It should be be available for order this week, and the full retail release is scheduled for December 8. The phone isn't cheap, though: prepare to spend $249.99 after rebate on a 2-year commitment.

Features include:

• Windows Mobile 6.1 with TouchWiz;
• 3.

Sprint subscribers who own a Samsung Instinct can now download and install a new firmware update from the carrier. One of the main improvements is the possibility of text input from Opera Mini and other Java applications.

In addition, with the upcoming release of Sprint Mobile Email Work update users should also be able to have better viewing support for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF documents.

The following information is not confirmed yet, but judging by the above picture the upcoming Verizon’s Samsung Omnia will still feature Wi-Fi functionality, unlike we previously thought. This is definitely good news for those who'll be getting the device. Hopefully there won't be any last minute changes, as the lack of Wi-Fi is a deal-breaker for many...

As you can see, the Samsung’s Omnia will soon be showing up at Verizon Wireless.

The exact release date is unknown at the moment, but the whole idea to release the phone now defenitely isn't the best, as Verizon's BlackBerry Storm is just around the corner.
