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.

Word on the street is that Samsung will use this year’s IFA trade show to unveil its latest range of 400Hz LCD TVs. It was only at last year’s IFA that Samsung was showing of the world’s first 200Hz LCD televisions. Then Sony came up with theirs.

It’s just a rumor for now. And if true, we don’t know if it will it be a production model or just a prototype, but according to Tweakers.net, this new technology from Samsung will “combine the current 200Hz interpolation technique to insert black frames, a technique that is called BFI/DFI [black frame, dark frame interpolation].”

The Samsung S3100 is official. This basic entry level slider targets the budget conscious and is available in black or pink colors. Just don’t expect much from the specs: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), 2.1″ TFT display with 176 x 220 pixels and 262k colors, Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, MP3 player, NetFront 3.5 Web browser, Email support, 1.3-megapixel camera and microSD memory card slot.

We don’t have any pricing details yet though, but it will definitely be affordable. We think it looks pretty nice for a basic phone.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. We like it. Samsung has launched the ND10 netbook and is allowing you to purchase it OS free. By being free and unshackled of any OS, it allows the buyer to choose what ever OS they want to install, whether it’s XP, Android or Linux.

The ND10 is pretty similar to the NC10 in specs and sports a 10.2 inch screen, an Intel Atom N270 processor and over seven hours of battery life. They are pretty much the same, with you saving $50 by installing your own OS.

Samsung has a world’s first, with the 12.2 MP ST1000, which they are calling the “first multi-wireless compact camera”. It sports a 3.5″ touch screen LCD with 1.2 million dot resolution, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS geotagging built-in.

Some other features include a 5x zoom, HD video recording (1280×720p), ISO 4800 sensitivity and a Smart Gesture UI that allows you to access things with a tap or hand gesture. We don’t have an official price or release date just yet, but rumors suggest that it will be around $600.

The SSD is a tough sell today. A few consumers buy them for their superior performance compared to a plain HDD. The higher levels of performance are offset for many consumers by the fact that the SSD costs so much more to purchase and has less storage space than most HDDs.

Samsung has decided to target the enthusiast gaming segment with its latest 256GB SSD. Samsung says that the fast performance is perfect for gaming. The higher performance for the SSD could mean faster load times for levels and better performance in game.

The Samsung Honey Bubble 3G Phone sports a retro look and a name that drips with flavor. It also goes by model number SPH-W8700. The handset will be equipped with a 2-megapixel camera with panorama mode and video recording capability, video call support, and a DMB Digital TV tuner.

Some other features include Bluetooth connectivity, MP3 playback, a Subway Map, M-Commerce support, GPS navigation, a pre-loaded dictionary and a SOS Siren Alarm. Looks like this one is going to be Korea-only. Sorry rest of the world. Maybe next time.

Sprint and Samsung are friends of the Earth with their latest offering. The two companies have just unveiled the Reclaim, an eco cellphone that’s made from 80 percent recycled materials. It’s a sliding, QWERTY message-friendly phone made from “bio-plastic” materials that are made from corn, is PVC free, and for the most part free of BFR (brominated flame retardants).

It also sports a 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, microSD slot, and has Sprint Navigation. Even the packaging is eco-friendly, made from 70 percent recycled materials and printed with soy-based ink. They really aren’t kidding around here.

Here’s some clever marketing. Samsung and MetroPCS have teamed up with tattoo artist Mark Machado aka Mister Cartoon to release a limited edition SCH-r450. The handsets will feature tattoo inspired wallpapers, ringtones and animations in a re-colored case with Mister Cartoon designed graphics on the battery cover.

If you want one, you better act quick because only 30,010 will be produced. Why 30,010, right? Because the first 10 will be signed by Mister Cartoon himself and will be auctioned off for charity. You still have 30,000 chances though, right?

Samsung seems to have a thing for dual SIM handsets and their latest is the Samsung C3212 DuoS. It’s great for those who want to separate their work and personal life. This model will arrive in Russia first, retailing for about $196, then it will be released in the European Union.

It didn’t even have specs at press time, but we’re guessing it will be EDGE. And it will likely have a bunch of business-minded features with nothing to offer teens or tweens or in betweens.

New phones are hitting the market with increasing regularity over the last few months. Many mobile providers are gearing up for back to school shopping and others are rushing to get new smartphones and feature phones onto a market while the demand is high.

Samsung and AT&T announced a new touch screen phone this week called the Samsung Solstice. The mobile phone has a 3-inch screen with a landscape virtual QWERTY keyboard and uses the Samsung TouchWiz user interface. An accelerometer is built in for applications that are more robust.

Samsung is most associated with consumer electronic devices like HDTVs, Blu-ray players and computers. The company also makes a line of storage products like hard drives that it may not be as well known for.

Samsung has announced its latest hard drive line that features new 500GB per platter technology allowing capacities of 1TB with only two platters. Competing drives with 333GB platters need three platters to reach the same capacity. The new drives are called the Spinpoint F3 line.

Samsung is jumping headfirst into the e-book reader market with the SNE-50K, hoping to compete with the Kindle. The device weighs 200 grams and comes with 512MB of internal memory built in, which will hold about 400 books. Some other features include a 5″ display with 800 x 600 resolution and a battery life that will last 4,320 pages.

It also doubles as a notepad, which the Kindle doesn’t do, while being attractively slim at just 9mm. Unlike Amazon’s Kindle, the SNE-50K doesn’t provide over the air content download, but you can feed it whatever you want with conversion software.

With back to school shopping season upon us, most major computer makers are fast introducing new notebook and netbook models. You can bet with the poor economy many shoppers will be going with netbooks this year, but there are also several new notebooks from Samsung for those with a larger budget.

Samsung has unveiled a new series of notebook computers that include five new models in the X and R series lines as well as new N series netbooks. The new machines fit into different price ranges with the high-end X460 featuring a 14.1-inch screen, a 6-cell 2950mAh battery, and biometric security. The battery is the first 6-cell 2950mAh battery and promises 10 hours of runtime per charge.

We’ve seen our share of wrist phones, most of them looking huge on your wrist. Now Samsung has one with a slimmer design. It’s model S9110 “the world’s thinnest.”

Thin is one thing, but this one is also small. That’s the magic formula for wrist phones. Trouble is you need excellent eyesight to see that 1.7-inch touchscreen. It sports Bluetooth, voice recognition, a speakerphone, and can even play music and check your e-mail.
