So you’ve been craving the HTC Hero but you don’t like the color that it comes in. You want something in, oh I don’t know, pink. Well, it’s your lucky day. The Android-powered handset is now available in pink according to the Carphone Warehouse Coming Soon page.

Great news for all of you gals who like pink phones. It’s scheduled for launch later this month and we still do not know which carrier it will arrive with. The HTC Hero will come with a 528MHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera, 3.2” display at 320 x 480 resolution and the Sense user interface.

Are you Buddhist? If you are, you can add this one to your wishlist. It’s yet another Buddha phone. It’s dubbed the C91, a luxury gold phone with a round shape and Buddhist design.

It features a 2.0 inch display, 1.3-megapixel camera, FM radio, dual SIM support, audio and video player, microSD slot and it includes a buddistic music box too. The C91 Buddha phone will cost you $123.

Video conferencing is becoming an increasingly important part of business communication in the poor economic climate around the world. In better years, companies would just fly employees to a conference to talk business, but now many use video instead.

Samsung has announced a new stand alone video conferencing LCD that is called the VC240. The device can also be used as a Pc display. The screen is 24-inches in size and it uses V2oIP for communications and is fully compatible with other VoIP systems.

The successor to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic was unveiled at the Nokia Connection event in Singapore. It’s the third S 60 5th edition handset for the company, after the popular Nokia N97 and 5800 XpressMusic. The 5800 XpressMusic is a touch phone, sporting a 2.9″ 16M color display with a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels.

It features a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, along with an accelerometer sensor and proximity sensor for precise pictures. Since it’s a music phone, it has powerful stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm standard audio jack. Surprisingly, no GPS unlike Nokia’s other touch phones, which is probaly to keep the price down.

Everyone texts today, even my mother in law uses texts and she didn’t get a cell phone until last year. With text messaging being so popular, even the most basic handsets are now being designed for friendly texting.

Sprint has announced a new mobile phone that is aimed at entry-level users and has a QWERTY keyboard for texting. The handset is the Sanyo SCP-2700 and it sells for only $29.95 after instant and mail-in rebates and a new 2-year contract.

When you design phones while on crack, there are bound to be some bad results. The iPod Water phone, despite it’s name, isn’t waterproof and it doesn’t even look like an iPhone. These knock-off companies are really slipping lately. I’m very disappointed. I thought the idea was to make your thing look like the other more desirable thing.

The specs are also disappointing, featuring dual band GSM connectivity, a 2.2″ display, audio and video playback, Bluetooth support and a built-in digital camera of unknown megapixel count. It also has an integrated FM tuner to help you keep radio alive.

All of the phones I have ever owned, including my iPhone, seem to have the camera added as an afterthought. The camera on most phones is junk that won’t take a decent picture, especially in low light. The crap camera is my biggest complaint on my iPhone.

Samsung has taken a different route with its new Pixon 12 camera phone. The camera is the big draw for the device with 12-megapixels of resolution and a full touchscreen. The camera has autofocus and the user can touch the touchscreen to tell the camera where to focus in the shot they frame up.

Now we have a leaked image that suggests Fido will be offering a 4GB iPhone 3G in the near future that will retail for $99, with quad-band EDGE and tri-band HSDPA connectivity, a 2-megapixel camera and iChat video calling, which means a front facing camera.

You might remember all of that talk of a $99 iPhone at Walmart from a while ago. It looks like the timing was off but it may actually happen. This also jibes with today’s earlier rumor here.

We’ve seen our share of dual SIM phones in the past. They’re for the greedy. Those who think that one sim isn’t enough. They’re hogging up all the sims. Do they care? No. They just keep making more. Like this General Mobile DSTL1, which will be Android-powered and hitting the US and Turkish markets before July.

Some features include : 624MHz Marvell PX310A processor, 5-megapixel autofocus camera, 3″ WQVGA LCD resistive touchscreen display, and a microSD memory card slot. It will cost you $550 to $750, depending on where it is.

There are so many cellular phones on the market that there are devices to suit every need and taste. Many women want a phone that offers good looks in addition to functionality. Samsung and US Cellular announced today that the mobile provider was getting the Samsung Gloss handset.

The Gloss looks like a makeup compact to me and has a roughly square design that measures 2.55-inches x 2.94-inches x 0.82-inches and has a 2.2-inch QCIF TFT LCD screen. The handset is available in pink or charcoal colors.

Sure, Samsung has its some high end phones, but fear not, they’ve also got some entry level handsets for ya. Like the C5510 and S6700. The C5510 has a 2.2″ QVGA display, with 512MB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot. No 3G.

The S6700 does feature 3G along with a larger 2.4 QVGA screen, stereo Bluetooth, integrated FM tuner, a 3-megapixel camera and 120MB of internal storage. Both should hit Europe and Asia later this summer.

Looks like LG will be releasing a new 12-megapixel cell phone later in the year. Take it with a grain of salt, but it could very well happen. 12-megapixels will likely replace the new 8-megapixel camera phones that are all over the market.

Sure, the lens isn’t up to par with those of a standard digital camera, but it’s always a march forward. Lens tech will just have to catch up. Who cares if those extra MP are useless?

Here’s some more Zune/Windows Mobile rumors. According to Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet she has specs for Windows Mobile 7 Chassis 1, the heart of that rumored “Pink” smartphone. Here’s the rundown.

Chassis 1 phones will all have 3.5-inch or larger multitouch displays with ARM v6+ processors and OpenGL ES 2.0-compatible graphics hardware, 256MB or more of RAM and 1GB or more of storage, as well as at least a 3 megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, compass, and accelerometer. And a 3.5mm headphone jack is required. Get this. NVIDIA’s Tegra platform is specifically listed as meeting the core CPU requirements, as well as TI’s OMAP 3 platform and “Qualcomm 8k,”.

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:

115.7x53x16.3mm, 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.
