Samsung has unveiled another clamshell model series that will surely get attention. We’re talking about the SCH-W830 for SK Telecom and SPH-W8350 for LG Telecom. The round external display is a real eye-catcher and looks awesomely retro and futuristic at once. And it measures just 13.4mm thin.

The phone also includes a button dedicated to opening the phone so you won’t break a sweat with such chores. Some other specs include a 2.6″ QVGA display, 2-megapixel camera, integrated media player, subway system maps, Bluetooth, microSD memory card slot and an SOS function.

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.

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.

Most kids these days own a mobile phone and Samsung wants a piece of that action. The Toby or S3030 is targeting pre-teens and young adults. Tobi features unique GUI themes with animated characters, such as Monster theme, Snowman theme and Ocean World theme. The backside cover is changeable with a see-through protective sleeve, so a photo can be placed there. The phone will be available in six colors, Sweet Pink, Loyal Blue, Apple Green, Bright Orange, Oasis Blue and Snow Silver.

The safety features in the phone include SOS Call, SOS Message and Fake Call, allowing access to family members and friends in emergencies. Samsung’s Tobi is made from recyclable and biodegradable bio-plastic and has non-toxic paints and non-allergic materials. Even the earphone is made eco-friendly without any polyvinyl chloride. It will be available in Italy and UK this month and then other European countries, CIS, and China later this year.

Verizon went ahead and unleashed four new phones all at once targeted at the fall shopping season trying to get a share of AT&T’s iPhone dollars. The new lineup includes the Voyager and Venus from LG along with the narrow Samsung Juke and the Blackberry Pearl sporting EV-DO.

The headliner of this Verizon release party is the LG Voyager looking very similar to the iPhone from the outside with a large touchscreen on the face. Once you get your hands on the Voyager you’ll see that it’s a little bulkier than the iPhone and that touchscreen face actually hinges open to expose another display inside that faces a large QWERTY keyboard, hence the thickness. The Voyager also has V CAST Mobile TV, a microSD slot and a modest 2 megapixel camera.

Mickey and company are eyeing your wallet today as Disney Mobile and Samsung announced two new mobile phones for the Disney Mobile service. Expect these phones to run you about 20 Mouse Ears after a rebate and two-year detail picking up trash at Disneyland.

The Samsung DM-S105 (silver) and DM-S110 (pink) Disney Mobile phones are very much your garden variety cell phones housed in curved clamshell designs. You get your dual-band, tri-mode, a built-in VGA camera, Bluetooth and an internal and external display. There’s also a hands-free speakerphone to scream into as you ride the Matterhorn.

Today Samsung announced some new super-stylish phones at the CommunicAsia expo in Singapore, one of which they tout as the thinnest slider style mobile phone yet. The Samsung SGH-E840 is a mere .42″ thin and has a mirrored, tempered glass face to give it a smooth and sexy look. It also comes in a number of colors to choose from like Ice Silver, Candy Pink, Topaz Gold or Noble Blue.

The SGH-E840 also debuts some “touch sensitive keys” which work unlike normal normal keypad …

I really like seeing unique and innovative designs with new mobile devices, and Samsung has come up with a unique design with the SGH-X830 “Mini MP3 Phone”.

The X830 has a swing-open style that allows the device to work as a compact MP3 player when closed and as mobile phone when swung open. The design comes in 6 different colors – black, candy pink (both pictured here), pure white, oasis blue, orange and lemon green to blend into many different tastes, while the dimensions of the Mini MP3 Phone are a mere 84x30x19.9 mm …
