Samsung has launched the Alias 2, a dual-flip handset aka the U750, on Verizon with an e-ink display. It displays a different keyboard depending on which way you open the dual-flip, whether you’re making a call or sending an SMS. Flipping it open in portrait will reveal a standard numeric keypad, while opening it the other way will result in full Qwerty.

Some other specs include a 2.6-inch QVGA screen, 2-megapixel camera, and memory card expansion through microSD card alongside Bluetooth, video camera capability and a music player.

Samsung announced the availability of its new Vice for the Canadian market via Bell. The 3G phone features a sliding full QWERTY keyboard with standard number keys that should make texting, emailing, and Facebook easier.

The phone also comes with a 2.2-inch color display, 2MP digital camera, built-in GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, integrated media player, and a microSDHC card slot for expansion. You can get the Samsung Vice through Bell Canada for $49.95 with a 3-year contract.

Samsung is planning the launch of new Android phones codenamed Spica and Bigfoot in Q3. Specifically September. Both of these phones will be built on Android OS version 2.0, which is codenamed Donut. Except for the size and shape, both phones have roughly the same specs:

115.7×53x16.3mm, GSM Quad-band, HSDPA 900/1700/2100, 3″ QAVGA LCD display, 3Megapixel Camera, 1500 mAh battery, 100MB + Micro SD slot, USB 2.0, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS+Compass, OS: Android “donut”, Accelerometer. Supposedly the Samsung Bigfoot will be more of a gaming oriented device, while the Samsung Spica will be an affordably priced mass market device.

There had been some rumors about the Samsung Lucello, a dual slider with a messaging focus, that was set to hit Sprint soon. Well, this device now has an official name and a release date. It’s called the Samsung M550 Exclaim and it’s set to release on Sprint on June 7th.

The interface is all about social networking with a menu that allows instant access to Facebook, MySpace and Google. As phones go, it’ pretty middle-of-the-road, with a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and EVDO Rev 0. The Exclaim will be available in pink and blue flavors.

Typically, when you buy a monitor for your PC you can get silver or black colors. That works just fine for most people, but some want a bit more bling for their desktop and want different colors. Samsung first pioneered its subtle Touch of Color design on its flat screen TVs.

The company has now announced a line of Touch of Color PC LCDs that include two full HD capable models. The line includes the P2070, P2370, and P2370HD LCDs. Both the P2370 models have 1920 x 1080 resolutions for full 1080p content.

Those in Korea are now able to buy the new Samsung HMX-H106 camcorder for just $900. This Samsung camcorder features an internal 64GB SSD with full 1080p recording capability and an integrated SDHC memory card slot.

Some other features include 10x optical zoom through a Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan lens, hardware image stabilization, 4.7-megapixel still shooting and a built-in flash. Full HD (1920 x 1080) with Time Lapse mode in 720p, and a 37mm wide angle.

Most parents have a camcorder that they use to capture home movies of the kids and family events. Many kids use a camcorder to capture video of friends and themselves doing crazy stunts and generally acting goofy.

Samsung has announced a pair of new camcorders that are more for the parents than for kids looking for a cheap camcorder for YouTube uploads. The camcorders include the SMX-C14 and the SMX-C10. The two units are virtually identical with each offering the same ergonomic design and Touch of Color looks.

MetroPCS is certainly not one of the larger mobile phone providers in the country, but it offers unlimited service for a fixed price. That feature is something that will lure customers from the larger providers in the major cities and areas that the service covers.

Samsung and MetroPCS announced today that a new handset called the Samsung Tint is now available. The big feature of the Tint is that it has removable faceplates and includes both pink and grey faceplates for customization of the device.

The rumor is that Samsung might release a new Omnia Pro soon which will feature a full QWERTY keyboard and a wide touchscreen display, similar to the Touch Pro and Touch Pro2 from HTC. Word is that the Samsung Omnia Pro will arrive on the market this July.

It will retail for about €500. That’s a stunning $662. It will run on Windows Mobile 6.1 and can be upgraded to WM 6.5 when the new OS is available. Apart from the sliding QWERTY keyboard, Samsung Omnia Pro should also have a 3.5 inch WVGA (800 x 480) touchscreen display and a 5MP camera with autofocus, flash, image stabilizer and video recording.

Netbook sales are booming as consumers buy the low cost machines in droves. The only real issue that goes along with using a netbook rather than a full notebook is that the keyboards tend to be smaller on netbooks and the machines lack the power that full notebooks have.

Samsung has announced a pair of new netbooks called the N110 and the N120. The two machines share some of the same features including an Intel Atom N270 CPU running at 1.6GHz, Windows XP Home, 1GB of RAM, a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 LED backlit LCD, and a 160GB HDD.

The slider known as the Samsung Trance will be hitting Verizon tomorrow. The phone will feature V CAST with Rhapsody and the VZ Navigator. Some other features include a 2.1-inch screen with a 176 x 220 resolution, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 16GB microSDHC memory card slot, 1GB of built-in memory and support for numerous media files including MP3, AAC, AAC+ and WMA.

Good phone to listen to music while completing other tasks. You’ll also get a 1.3-megapixel camera and Bang & Olufsen ICEpower speakers for great sound quality. Bluetooth as well.

Samsung has announced the 46 and 55 inch B9000 HDTVs which are apparently the follow-up to the A950 models of last year.

The latest additions feature LED backlights with localized dimming, Medi@2.0 with YouTube/Yahoo! Widgets, built-in USB port, DLNA functionality and a wireless connection to the external media box similar to Sony ZX1. As usual, nothing on pricing or availability just yet. Stay tuned, we will likely get an update very soon.

When it comes to life on the road with a notebook one day, you will probably drop your precious computer. If you travel a lot it may be that someone else drops your computer for you. Either way, many notebook users find that their machines end up hitting the ground and the most likely part to die from the impact is often the hard drive.

Samsung has announced a new hard drive series called the Spinpoint M7. The drive is available in 250, 320, 400, and 500GB capacities. All of the models use a new controller that promises power savings of up to 25% compared to conventional 2.5-inch drives.

You never know what kind of deals to expect from Best Buy Mobile. What price you see for an item depends when you go since stuff is always changing. Today you might see an Instinct that will cause you to claim bankruptcy, tomorrow you might see the miniature version of the original Instinct for cheap.

According to a new flyer, the Samsung Instinct S30 will be just $49.99 on contract at Best Buy. That’s $80 less than what Sprint will supposedly ask for it on April 19th. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it’s true.

AT&T just launched the Samsung A657, adding another push-to-talk handset to their lineup. The candybar is a tough one that comes with a rubberized shell that meets US military standards for shock, moisture, temperature and other rough stuff. No camera here though.

And since it’s rugged, why not throw in a flashlight. They did. That way while doing all of the rugged, rough and tumble things you do, you’ll be able to see what’s around you at night. Some other features include Bluetooth, 3G support, GPS mapping and a microSDHC memory card slot.
