According to Akihabara, Toshiba is planning to release its Portege G810 smartphone on June 20th.

We don't know where exactly it will be available and how much it will cost, so stay tuned for more details as we get them. Meanwhile, here's a short speclist to give you an idea of what the device has to offer:

• Windows Mobile 6.1;
• HSDPA/HSUPA;
• 2.

AT&T launched a promo website for the upcoming U.S. version of the BlackBerry Bold, i.e. the same Bold only with an AT&T logo on it. The carrier didn't announce the exact release date yet, but we hope to see the device in the U.S. within the July timeframe.

The feature list is taken from the site and can be found below:

• GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA support;
• Integrated Wi-Fi/GPS;
• 480 x 320 resolution display;
• Memory card slot;
• 1GB of built-in storage;
• 624MHz CPU;
• 128MB of Flash memory;
• Bluetooth 2.

HP has finally decided to start shipping its iPAQ 900 / 914 3G business communicator, which was announced back in September of last year.

The device's system was updated to Windows Mobile 6.1, in rest everything remains the same: 2.46" display, Wi-Fi, GPS, HSDPA, 3Mpix camera, and a 1800mAh battery.

Worldwide shipping should start on June 30th.

Samsung has finally announced its i900 Omnia. We knew about its features long before its announcement, but let's recap them anyway:

• Connectivity: USB, stereo Bluetooth (A2DP), Wi-Fi;
• Display: 3.2" WQVGA (240×400 pixels) touchscreen;

Finally it's happened! The 3G iPhone we've all been anxiously waiting for for quite a long time was officially announced today. Without the unnecessary talk let's get down to business. The most notable features (or rather improvements) of the new handset include:

• Thinner edges;
  
• Plastic back;
  
• Headphone jack;

Motorola has released the new Q9e phone in the U.S. - the same Q9 model, only without 3G and Wi-Fi.

Features include quad-band GSM/EDGE, Windows Mobile 6.0, and a 2Mpix camera with LED flash. Available now.

Unlike what we seen previously, this new photo of the Samsung SGH-i900 is clear and finally gives us the full idea of how the device looks.

While the phone offers some decent specifications like a 240 x 400 display, 5Mpix camera, 16GB of onboard memory, HSDPA, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, we somehow have a feeling it will cost much more than we think...

ASOCS and Fujitsu have developed a new wireless processor called MP100.

This single chip can support GSM/EDGE, Wi-Fi, Mobile TV, and GPS, while at the same time reducing production costs by 50% and power consumption by 70%. Impressive, and that's not all: ASOCS MP100 is also software reconfigurable, which means that a simple software update can enable support for future technologies like LTE or WiMax.
