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 Solstice - AT&T;
• LG Xenon (red) - AT&T;
• Global AirCard (G2) - Verizon;
• Samsung Rogue - Verizon;

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.

PhoneArena have obtained some shots of the upcoming Sprint has Samsung M560 Reclaim. It appears to be a wide portrait QWERTY slider with a landscape QVGA display, 2Mpix camera, GPS, fast access to popular social networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and... it uses the same corn-based shell as the E200 Eco, which mean's it's "green". Literally, since there's a green color option.

WiFi Alliance has approved a lower end version of the Samsung i7500 Galaxy, called the i5700 "Galaxy-lite". There is no information available about it's specs, except the fact that it runs Android OS, and is Wi-Fi enabled (duh), but we expect to find out more about it shortly.
