Some sources report that the AT&T's upcoming Samsung i907 will be renamed to “Mirage” instead of the i900 Omnia. They also indicate that the device should be released on October 7th.

Don't know 'bout you, but that's fine with me, as long as they release it without delays and glitches.

The new entry-level Samsung SGH-A837, known as Rugby, has been released by the AT&T today. Certified to Military Standard 810F, the handset is built to work in extreme conditions such as rain and dust. Features are modest, but appropriate for this type of phone.

AT&T now offers it in black for $130 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a contract.

FCC has unveiled two new phones today, the Samsung T919 for T-Mobile and the LG VX9600 for Verizon Wireless.

The T919 is a tri-band GSM/3G handset with support for 1700MHz WCDMA and probably HSDPA. Other features may include MP3 player, a-GPS and a full Internet browser with "touch".

The LG VX9600 is a CDMA 850/1900 / EVDO handset with a 3" touch sensitive display with 3D graphical UI, according to documents.

FCC has recently showed two new variants of the Samsung Omnia handset, the i910 and i907.

The first is a CDMA phone bound for Verizon Wireless, and the other is a customly designed Omnia for AT&T.

There is no info about these yet, so we'll have to wait for the official confirmation.

Rogers has spread the word about a new addition to its UMA-enabled Talkspot phone lineup, the Samsung t336. For just $49.99 CAD (about $47) on a 3-year contract you'll get a 1.3Mpix camera, 220 x 176 primary and 96 x 96 secondary displays, stereo Bluetooth, and even a Wi-Fi radio.

The phone will appear on shelves later this week.

Verizon has launched a Samsung u430 today. It's a basic clamshell phone, first seen back in June. Not much to say about it: VGA cam and Bluetooth are the things of the far past, but if you want a simple to use phone for just making/receiving calls, take this one into consideration.
