Philips X800 and X-Connect touchscreen phones go legit

Philips has recently announced its two iPhone like devices. The Philips X800 is a low end 2G GSM device with a 2.9 inch screen display, a 2 megapixels camera, microSD slot, Bluetooth, document reader and handwriting recognition. The Philips Xenium on the other hand is a high end UMTS/HSDPA device with Windows Mobile 6 and a 3 inch display. More coming on these soon...

Not one to string us along endlessly, Philips has 'fessed up to its pair of touchscreen phones, the X800 and the Xenium X-Connect. The X800 does it low-end with a 2.9-inch 240 x 400 screen, 2G GSM for data (no EDGE or WiFi!), a 2 megapixel camera, microSD slot and Bluetooth. Interestingly, the phone offers a documents reader and handwriting recognition, but this hardly seems to be that next do-it-all handheld you've been dreaming of, though the battery life is laudable. The Xenium X-Connect steps things up considerably, however, with Windows Mobile 6, UMTS and HSDPA, and a 3-inch display -- which hopefully sports a few more pixels. Still no WiFi, though, and other details like launch price and date are still slim.

Gold Plated Samsung SGH-D780 Official Phone For Russian Olympic Team

Russia is one of the strongest contenders in the coming Olympics in Beijing and Samsung has thought of the perfect marketing strategy by announcing a Gold Plated version of Samsung SGH-D780 as the official phone for the Russia Olympic team.

The Samsung SGH-D780 boasts 2 SIM card slots, a 2 megapixel camera, 2.1 inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth, FM Radio, microSD slot and a 1200 mAh battery. All in all it is a decent phone with shiny looks. It is expected to start selling in August.

It's a good marketing for handset makers to prepare the special edition phones for the Olympic Team of any country. When it comes to Russia, a golden phone is needed. And because the Olympics involve travelling to China this year, it's neat to have a device with two SIM card slots so you could use both the domestic number and the local Chinese number.

Hence, Samsung unveiled the special D780 DuoS Gold Plated edition as the official Russian Olympic Team phone. As far as we can tell, aside from the gold plating and the Olympics logo at the back, the special edition phone is pretty much the same as the original D780 Duos. That involves 2 SIM card slots, 2 megapixel camera, 2.1-inch QVGA screen, Bluetooth support, FM Radio, microSD memory card slot and a 1200 mAh battery. In a nutshell - it's a decent mid-range candybar which now shines more than it used to.

DMS002SH: Sharp’s New Walt Disney Phone does Cinderella

Disney is really picking on the merchandise - and who can blame them. With less than fantastic movies coming out for the big screen (Enchanted was good though), why not just concentrate on a completely odd competence: mobile phones.

In partnership with Sharp, Disney unveils their new line of phone collaborations. The theme for this series is Cinderella and here are the specs:

Clamshell design
50MB of internal memory // microSD slot
2.0MP camera
Bluetooth microSD slot
TV Tuner (editor’s note: this is an odd feature for this segment)
Three Cinderella color themes

Personally, if phones were to be labeled with the Disney brand, I’d want them to have big eyes and burst out into song at random moments.
