Verizon to release latest Samsung Sway Ultra-slim phone

Verizon Wireless’ line-up of music phones has just been enlarged today, with the addition of Samsung Sway.
The phone is a slider that looks pretty and has a thickness of only 0.47 inches. This means a bit less than 12 millimeters, and I don’t think there are too many sliders to beat that.
Due to its rather fragile appearance and its slimness, Samsung Sway will probably be more popular among girls and women (yes, we like our phones to be thin). But this can’t upset Verizon or Samsung, as long as the phone’s sales will be good, right?

Here’s what the full-specs list of Samsung Sway includes:
2.2 inches TFT display with 240 x 320 pixels, 262K colors
Music Player
V CAST Music with Rhapsody for access to more than 5 million songs
Stereo Bluetooth, USB
VZ Navigator
2.0 MP camera with night shot mode, video
Mobile Web 2.0 capable
Instant Messaging, text, picture and video messaging
MicroSD card support, up to 8GB
270 minutes of talk-time, 312 hours of stand-by time
weighs 3.56 ounces
measures 4.15 x 1.96 x 0.47 inches
Samsung Sway will cost you $69.99 after the signing of a 2-yr agreement and a $50 mail-in rebate. You can also buy the phone with a 1-yr contract, for $139.99, or with a month-to-month contract, for $239.99. Source...

T-Mobile releases Nokia Xpress Music 5610

This one hasn’t exactly been a secret, but for anyone that’s been looking to grab one of these sliders today is your day. The Nokia Xpress Music 5610 is now available from all of T-Mobile’s physical and online retail channels. The handset sports a 3.2 megapixel camera, dedicated music player rocker key, included 2GB memory card, and shiny aluminum side panels. It’s certainly not the most advanced handset on the market, but for $99 this represents one of the better values in T-Mobile’s current lineup. Although the handset ships with a 3.5 mm headphone adapter, the actual jack on the handset is Nokia’s proprietary pop-port a 2.5 mm connector. Not surprising for a phone at this price point, but still not such a good thing for such a music-focused handset. If that’s not a deal breaker for you, however, head on down to your local T-Mobile store and swoop up one of these bad boys. Source...

The LG KF390 features with a 2 megapixel main camera, large tactile keys, built-in speakerphone and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s going to be a fast phone when it comes to data, but with the current price plans, it looks like it’ll burn your wallet just as fast.

Sony-Ericsson goes ultra-thin with new walkman phones

Sony Ericsson says its celebrating the Walkman phone's third birthday with three new GSM handsets. Upstage owners getting tired of their aging, UI-challenged handsets are gonna love these.
The W902 is a sharp-looking candybar, thinner than a pinky. It has a 5-megapixel camera, a free 8GB memory stick for your songs and stuff and a 240x320 pixel 2.2" display. It comes in black, red and green. Fat capabilities in an ultra-thin case pitch this as a model for smartphone-hating minimalists who still want nice toys.
Specwise, the W595 is a step down from the W902, with only a 2GB memory card and a 3.2MP camera, but some trim gives it distinction. It has dual stereo jacks for friends to listen together, and "shake control," which lets you move from song to song by flicking it just so. Sony Ericsson's ad only had girls in it, so take this as the Mazda Miata of the new lineup.
The W302 is touted as an affordable unit that "doesn't compromise." It has a 2MP camera and a 512MB memory stick included. Though the same size as the W902, it's only 78 grams, and the crisp design speaks for itself. Unlike the other models, it doesn't have HSDPA, or even EDGE — but it does have an FM radio! Source...

Sony Ericsson C902

The Sony Ericsson C902 is the first cell phone in the C Series of Sony Ericsson meaning Cyber Shot. Before all the cyber shot devices were part of the K series but the new C902 is the replacement for their K850i. As the cyber shop phones have been extremely popular over the past few years most of the people however feel that Sony Ericsson has been imperfect with their recent models as a few include unreliable firmware and dodgy keypads. However the new Sony Ericsson C902 is the flagship cyber shop model and therefore there are pretty high expectations.

Design

The Sony Ericsson C902 physically seems to be like the old Sony Ericsson phone style but very much developed. It is a classic style mobile and is ultra-slim nearly 10.5mm. The keypad is also very comfortable being the old fashioned one which has appropriate square keys enabling fast texting. Interestingly, you will also find an excellent five way navigation pad which works just fine. The handset also feels of very high quality with a great combination of plastic and metal offering an elegant finish. The phone is available in choice of red or black or both colours.

The screen of C902 is a bit smaller than the K850i which is due to the touch sensitive shortcuts at both sides of the screen. However the screen is very much sharp and bright which works perfectly in most light conditions. The camera is actually hidden under a mini sliding cover and when you open the slide the phone would switch to a camera mode. Being a five megapixel camera it is even better with the autofocus function, flash and stabilizer. The quality of camera is much like the Sony Ericsson K850i. There is also the BestPic feature that lets you take nine pictures in a second.

Entertainment

As the Sony Ericsson C902 is a cyber shop phone is also offers you excellent music features. The in built media player is fully features that even supports album art. The MegaBass feature of Sony ensures that you receive rich sounds from the small speakers. You can even personalize the phone as you download MP3 ringtones through PlayNow feature. The TrackID feature would let you identify the song from a few seconds of recording. There is also an FM radio with RDS included among the music features. Sony lets you use an optional Bluetooth stereo headset or just plug in a stereo headphone in the C902. The most impressive feature of C902 is that it offers you an in built memory of nearly 160MB which is much more than the K850i. Additionally it also supports Memory Stick Micro card of nearly 4GB which makes up enough space to store data.

The connectivity is also great as it supports USB and Bluetooth. The C902 being a 3G phone with support for HSDPA enables fast download speed. The battery life of the cell phone is standard but being an ultra-slim phone it tends to run short of battery life like similarly to other ultra-slim phones. Source...

Samsung M150 Out Next Month

There isn’t anything like 3G or other cool stuff in sight. Said phone will be available in Germany starting next month, and users will have the honor of picking from a total of five colors. Source...
