A picture of the upcoming Samsung InstinctQ has surfaced recently, and confirmed our expectations: it's an Android-powered landscape QWERTY slider for Sprint. We definitely like the touch-sensitive Home, Menu and Back buttons, and the keyboard looks pretty solid. The screen doesn't look bright and clear, but maybe it's just the photo. Final judgements will be made upon a hands-on review.

The new Samsung Gravity 2 is now available on T-Mobile's website at a laughably cheap price of $29.99 on contract after rebate. The phone comes in a choice of "Metallic Pumpkin" and "Berry Mauve", and features a 2Mpix camera, small screen, GPS, AWS 3G, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard perfect for heavy texters.

So, any takers?

PhoneArena has managed to get some new info regarding the Instinct HD. The handset will be dubbed the S50, like it was called initially, and is expected to be hit the shelves sometime around mid-September, which is about half a month away.

Additionally, we also found out that the Android-powered Samsung Instinct Q could appear in stores sometime in November, but that's pure speculation.

It looks like Samsung's runningg out of ideas for phone names. Really? "Honey Bubble"? What a dumb name. Spec-wise, this slider features a 2Mpix camera, a T-DMB tuner, media player, and Bluetooth.

No word on availability and pricing at the moment, but will there bee any takers?

According to Electricpig.co.uk O2 UK are going to launch the Samsung Galaxy i7500 this week. It is an Android handset with a 3.2" AMOLED screen, 5MPix camera and 8GB memory. Pricing and exact release date are yet unknown, but we'll keep you up to date.

According to documents seen  on the FCC site, there's a new version of the Samsung Instinct headed for Sprint, model number SPH-M850. The handset features EVDO, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a "full touch" display and HDTV out, as well as a "5M AF camera", according to the Bluetooth SIG, which has also approved the device. Neither Sprint nor Samsung has announced this device.

Best Buy Mobile will start selling a slew of new handsets for each taste on August 23rd. Here's a list of devices and their carriers posted on BGR site:

• Samsung Gravity 2 (berry) - T-Mobile;
• Samsung Solstice - AT&T;
• LG Xenon (red) - AT&T;
• Global AirCard (G2) - Verizon;
• Samsung Rogue - Verizon;
• LG BL40 Chocolate Touch - Veri

Want an good alternative to the Samsung Eternity? Look no further than the new Samsung Solstice from AT&T. Sure, it has a lower-end camera and lacks support for AT&T Mobile TV, but it comes in a sleeker package, and has an updated UI. Oh, and the fact that it's new gives it some points in plus. If you want to know more, Brighthand has reviewed the thing.

A white / silver Samsung Galaxy has been recently spotted in the wild. It doesn't differ spec-wise from it's black counterpart and will also be released at O2 Germany before rolling out to other carriers in Europe.
