According to what is known for fact RIM is very negative towards other rivals editions that look like its handsets that it's going to sue companies that produce alike products. Recently Samsung launched the BlackJack on the Cingular Wireless network and it made RIM angry.

According to what RIM reports is that because the Samsung BlackJack has a name and a design that could cause "customer confusion" that may damage RIM's brand.

Samsung presented another smart clamshell phone - the new Samsung SCH-U520. This device is very functional and many people could afford it. You will definitely like the features it has - EV-DO, Bluetooth, speakerphone, and a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recording. The SCH-U520 is available on Alltel -the US Carrier and we can mention that the phone is the first Alltel phone to support A2DP.

And again Samsung developed something new and announced two phones: the Dual Face models part of the Ultra (thin) line. These phones have a screen and controls on each side. These phones are slim devices in candybar design, with couples of displays and keypads respectively on the front and back. The front part has a large display and navigation keys, while the back has the numeric keypad and small display for text in a package 9.

The Koreans together with Sprint carrier launches new slim Samsung SPH-M610 phone. The point that captures attention and works in favour of the clamshell is its thickness being just 0.47” (11mm). It is rather small phone when combined with internal antenna.

The SPH-M610 has small caller ID external display and color QVGA internal one, and 2-megapixel camera.

There is a new LCD technology announced by Samsung to create the thinnest display at the same time increasing durability. The new LCD incorporates the screen, and a protective layer technology into a unit 0.82mm thick. The new protective layer rests against the glass of the LCD screen which can reduce the thickness of a phone by 1-2.

You had probably heard about the apparition of the new Samsung SCH-U710 as a rival of LG's VX9900 enV.

Now we can inform you that Verizon is going to rename the phone to U740 but the device remains the same in hardware. In reality the device is not a high-end one as its display has small 176x220 pixels resolution and the camera is only 1.
