BlackBerry Curve 8310 from Vodafone

It seems GPS is gaining more and more popularity with Blackberry devices. Shortly after the Blackberry 8820 was released Vodafone and Research In Motion (RIM) introduced the BlackBerry Curve 8310 smartphone. Featuring an integrated GPS module and Vodafone Navigator software with traffic and possible road obstacles information it gives its users a better chance of planning a traffic-jam free route. The Navigator itself is an off-board navigation system and downloads information from a central server when planning routes.
The BlackBerry Curve 8310, like its forerunner - the BlackBerry Curve 8300, features a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash. The GPRS/EDGE-enabled device sports 64 MB of internal flash memory, which is expandable through a microSD card slot. The display offers 65K colors and QVGA resolution. And connectivity features include Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP as well as a mini-USB. Like the BlackBerry Curve 8300 the BlackBerry Curve 8310 features a full QWERTY keyboard. For the German market a QWERTZ keyboard layout will also be available.
The BlackBerry Curve 8310 is available now from Vodafone in Germany for EUR 99.90. An interesting detail worth mentioning is that the first 5 000 people that purchase the BlackBerry Curve 8310 will have 100 top chart songs in MP3 format preinstalled on them.
As rumors go, the BlackBerry 8310 is only one of a series of new RIM devices that are to be released this summer. Another one - the BlackBerry 8820 has already hit the shelves. It is only a matter of time to see if the 8320 or the 8120 (both with Wi-Fi) will join it or will limit their existence to the gossips realm.(Source : http://www.gsmarena.com/)

5 Megapixel Samsung G800 leaked

Another high-end camera phone from Samsung seems to be under way, unofficial information has leaked. The Samsung G800 slider has a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with 3x optical zoom and is likely the successor of Samsung G600, which was recently announced.
Samsung G800 is recognizable for its stylish design and better camera integration with a dedicated camera button and xenon flash. The back of the phone includes elements, inherent to advanced camera bodies - a special leather-like cover ensuring better grip, as well as its lens and xenon flash comfortably covered by a stylish lens lid. The front panel grabs attention with its large display. The form factor is easily identifiable as a slider, but it might as well offer a touch-based user interface and no hardware keypad.
Other features of the Samsung G800 include Bluetooth, USB support, 3G or HSDPA connectivity and stereo speakers. We are somewhat uncertain about the presence of 3G support, since most of the Samsung 3G-enabled handset come out under the Z-series. As of yet, no information is available on the video recording capabilities of the device.
Although optical zoom enabled phones are not something new on the market as we have already witnessed the coming to light of Nokia N93, Nokia N93i, Sharp 902, Sharp 903 and Sharp 904, the Samsung G800 looks like quickly becoming a common favourite when it hits the shelves. This is expected to happen in the early months of 2008.(Source : http://www.gsmarena.com/)
