Samsung has announced its newest Anycall F338 Celebrity Edition music phone.

The handset comes bundled with mini live performances of Justin Cheng, Kary Ng and RubberBand and delivers outstanding sound quality.

Anycall F338 features include HSDPA connectivity, 2Mpix camera with 4x digital zoom + front VGA cam for video calls, quick access to the music interface, stereo Bluetooth with A2DP, and a microSDHC slot (up to 4GB).

FCC has just approved the new Samsung U940, of which we first heard last month.

There is almost no information available about the device, but judging by the pictures it is most likely an update for the Samsung F700.

It has a wide touch-sensitive display, a sliding QWERTY keyboard, and might also feature a 2Mpix camera, 150MB of on-board, a microSD slot, and Stereo Bluetooth.

The new Samsung SGH-T819 has been recently approved by the FCC and will be available soon from T-Mobile USA.

It is an entry-level 3G handset supporting 1700MHz UMTS network.

Other features are pretty low-end, so we can expect a low price when it ships.

Samsung T739 Katalyst became yet another cell phone to support T-Mobile's HotSpot @Home service.

Customers will be able to switch between GSM and Wi-Fi networks during voice calls. Features include quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity, Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth, 1.3Mpix camera, speaker-independent voice recognition, and a microSD slot (up to 2GB).

Samsung has released in Korea a special edition of its SPH-W2400 phone, with an AMOLED display.

AMOLED screens provide higher performance than regular LCDs. Other features of this handset include HSDPA compatibility, 2Mpix camera, Bluetooth, DMB, built-in media player, and more.

Samsung F250 is a new sleek music slider phone from the Korean manufacturer.

• Metallic keypad;

Sprint has just unveiled the new Samsung Ace SPH-I325, or the BlackJack World Edition, which turned out to be a real surprise for us.

It isn't the best phone from Samsung, but it's a good addition to the carrier's handset lineup. Features of the SPH-I325 include a 1.3Mpix camera, QWERTY keyboard, QVGA display, and microSD slot (maybe).

The CDMA provider MetroPCS has added today a new handset to its phone line-up, the Samsung r410.

The device has a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard for convenient text messaging, and comes with multiple messaging applications.

It supports 1xRTT data and features a VGA camera with multi-shot capability, Bluetooth and a speakerphone.

Apparently, Samsung's Ultra Smart F700 slider phone, currently available only in Germany and the U.K., will soon be available in Malaysia, followed by other Asian markets.

According to the manufacturer, the device will hit Asia in the beginning of 2008.

However, all this is not yet confirmed; let's rather wait for the official announcement.

Samsung has developed a RFID reader chip that can be integrated into mobile devices like cell phones in the near future.

The chip will download the information from RFID tags and display it on the phone's screen. The reader is very small and consumes almost no power.

It will first be available as a separate device, and then will come embedded into mobile handsets.
