According to Samsung Mobile USA’s website, the new Samsung Omnia II will be “coming soon exclusively at Verizon Wireless.” You can sign up on Samsung’s email list to be immediately updated when the phone goes live.

Like any successor, the second Omnia is superior to it's predecessor in terms of specs:

• 3.7" WVGA AMOLED touchscreen

At an event in San Francisco yesterday Samsung has announced that its touchscreen Blue Earth phone with solar power will be launching this October, though they didn't specify where it will be available.

The Samsung Instinct HD (Sprint-bound S50 / m850 Dash) has appeared at Best Buy site. According to this listing, the phone will support HD video recording and playback, and will have a 5Mpix camera, TV out connection, visual voicemail and Wi-Fi support.

The price is still not listed, but the offer is set to be actual till September 26th.

Alltel Wireless has recently announced a new Samsung clamshell, the SCH-u350 Glint. It is a basic phone with a VGA camera, Stereo Bluetooth support, and some basic multimedia and messaging features.

Pricing and availability details for the SCH-u350 Glint are not yet avaialble.

Samsung came up with a new basic clamshell called the SCH-W830 (or SPH-W8300 / SPH-W8350 for other carriers). It comes with a circular ultra-low res display, 2Mpix camera and a set of colorful lights embedded in the phone's case.

It's available now on South Korea's LGT, SKT, and KTF.

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.
