Samsung has to be very happy about sales of their new Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone in Europe and other countries. They have already sold more than 3 million S II handsets, but in the US, Samsung still hasn’t released it.

Now it looks like we may have a firm launch date. According to the president of Samsung mobile, Shin Jong-Kyun, the Galaxy S II will arrive in the US in August, but we still don’t know an exact date. To refresh your memory, the Samsung Galaxy S II features a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus display, with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, and also comes with a dual core 1.2GHz processor, 16GB of built in storage and a microSD card slot.

A new subscription service will let certain T-Mobile customers get more information about unknown callers. The new caller ID service for certain phones will display the name, city, and state of callers, including unknown callers, not just the people in your contact list. Now you can know for sure who is calling and from where.

Name ID will cost $3.99 per month after a free 10-day trial. Right now it’s available for the Samsung Exhibit 4G, but will make it’s way to other handsets after awhile. The T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide should get it before the month is over.

It’s not a surprise, but T-Mobile has confirmed some earlier rumors involving three Android-based phones from Samsung. The Samsung Exhibit 4G and Gravity Smart will both be launching on June 22nd, and the Samsung Dart is available today for free with a two-year contract.

The Exhibit 4G is the highest-end here, with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor and Android 2.3. The Gravity Smart has Android 2.2 and a QWERTY keyboard, while the Dart is a low-end mystery as far as specs are concerned. We do know that it has a 600MHz processor and 3.1-inch QVGA display.

A few days back T-Mobile announced 2 new mid range Android phones, the Samsung Exhibit 4G, available in Black and Violet, and the Samsung Gravity Smart. However there is another mid range Android phone coming to T-Mobile. The Samsung Dart, otherwise known as the Samsung T499 or Galaxy Mini.

The Samsung Dart is the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy Mini, and will come in gray. The Samsung Dart will feature a 240x 320 screen, a 2MP Camera, no flash, 3G bands, Bluetooth 2.1, Android 2.2.

These days phones have invaded every aspect of our lives. However according to the experts at WHO, they emit radio-frequency waves which when absorbed by the human body prove harmful. The powers-that-be have come up with a standard called Specific absorption rate (SAR) and the FCC now requires cell phone makers to report the SAR level of their devices. The upper cap on acceptable levels is less than or equal to 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg).

Here is a list of the top 10 lowest radiation emitting cell phones.

Samsung’s president of the mobile division, JK Shin, says that the company plans to launch a 4G tablet later this year. We don’t know if it will be a 4G version of one of Samsung’s new tablets that have already been announced, or if this is a completely new tablet.

He also said that we can expect to see the new Samsung Galaxy S III in the first half of 2012. The company’s Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets have been a great success, so they obviously want to build on this.

It looks like the Gingerbread packing Samsung Exhibit 4G for T-Mobile will go on sale June 8th. That is, if we can believe this flyer sent in to TmoNews. Looks like a reliable flyer to us. So we have a potential date, but still nothing on pricing, even though we know that the dealer price is $325.

To refresh your memory, the Exhibit 4G is an HSPA + handset with TouchWiz on top of Android 2.3. It has front and rear-facing cameras, an LED flash in the back, and a microSD card slot. The phone will also boast a 1GHz Hummingbird CPU and a 3 megapixel back camera.

Netflix finally has an Android app that is publicly available. The app is pretty identical to the one released for the iPhone and it lets users manage their instant queue and watch videos. Of course to use it you need a subscription starting from $8.

Thing is, only a handful of phones can use the Netflix app, all of which are using Snapdragon processors. These first five include the Samsung Nexus S and four HTC phones, including the Evo 4G, the original Incredible, the Nexus One, and the T-Mobile G2. The Droid Incredible 2 and Thunderbolt, weren’t mentioned, though they have also have Snapdragon.

If we asked you which already announced Android phone T-Mobile customers want to see on the network, the Galaxy S 2 would likely be your answer. And if it was, then here is some very good news.

The above picture is from Adobe.com and though it might be hard to see, there is an image of the Galaxy S 2 with Touchwiz 4.0 icons. Could just be photoshop magic, but there is definitely a lot of buzz about the device arriving on T-Mobile. That would be great news for T-Mobile users.

Verizon Wireless and Samsung are slapping a $299.99 subsidized price on Samsung’s newest handset. The phone is finally official. You can expect it on April 28th. On that day you can get the phone which features a 4.3-inch AMOLED Plus display, rear 8 megapixel camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, 1GHz processor, Android 2.2 and LTE support.

Unlimited 4G data plans are $29.99. The phone’s price is expensive, but keep in mind that you get a mobile hotspot for “no additional charge”. Are you getting this one?

We’ve had Google Android phones since late 2007 and the first Google phone came from working with HTC on the Google Nexus One which launched last year. This year the Google Nexus S arrived from Google and Samsung. So they like to partner up. The latest rumor is that Google is working on its first Nexus-branded tablet with another friend.

According to Mobile Review, Google is working with LG on a Google Nexus Tablet. Of course this tablet will run Google Android 3.0 Honeycomb and it might launch as early as this summer or early in the fall. It is likely that Google would make sure that the tablet would get software updates earlier than third party tablets.

Samsung must be breaking out the champagne right about now, since its App Store has passed 100 million downloads of mobile and TV applications. That didn’t take long. Samsung’s App Store was opened in June 2010 and now has a total of 13,000+ apps for users to download onto their Samsung mobile phones and TV’s. And users have been doing just that.

Users in France downloaded the most, followed by Germany and Spain. Those three countries account for 40 percent of the total downloads recorded. Europeans obviously love what Samsung is offering. Sure those are not Apple numbers, but we are talking Samsung not Apple.

Owners of Samsung’s latest Smart TVs will be able to stream live TV shows to compatible tablets or mobile phones. Both the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy S II will be able to make use of the televisions’ second tuner, turning them into second sets to watch in your home.

We don’t have much in the way of specs right now, but of course the new service won’t work on every TV that the company offers , just the upcoming D7000 and D8000 ranges. We also aren’t sure if it will work with the company’s older phones.

Looks like Samsung may be getting ready to launch a Tegra 2-based version of the Galaxy S II smartphone, for select markets. There are some good reasons to suspect that this is the case. The company has been collaborating with NVIDIA to create a new handset based on Tegra 2, and yet the Galaxy S II was the main focus of its Mobile World Congress unveilings.

Samsung hasn’t officially said that this is the case and the MWC version uses the company’s own dual-core Exynos SoC, but the official specs lists the Samsung SoC as a feature that “may not be applicable in some regions.” So, putting 2 and 2 together, it looks like there will be a Tegra 2 version.

Samsung had announced that they would show off their new dual core Android smartphone at MWC 2011 next week, and now we have some possible specifications on the Samsung Galaxy S2. Those specs include a dual core 1.2GHz Samsung Exynos processor and a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Plus display.

Other specs include 1GB of RAM and an 8 megapixel camera that can record Full HD video in 1080p and a front facing 1.3 megapixel camera for video chat, built in NFC technology and Bluetooth 3.0. Android 2.3 Gingerbread will be running things.
