It was thought that Samsung’s SPH-M930 would be coming to Sprint as the followup to the mid-range Transform (SPH-M920), but now it looks like this model will be landing at Sprint-Nextel’s prepaid operator Boost Mobile.

This device runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 1GHz MSM8655 SoC from Qualcomm, up to an HVGA-resolution display and a camera as low as two megapixels. The M930 has picked up its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi certifications, but hasn’t received FCC approval, so it’s probably still a month or two from release.

Sony Ericsson’s txt pro CK15a entry-level smartphone went through it’s paces at through the FCC today. The device has a sliding landscape QWERTY keypad and runs a proprietary Sony Ericsson OS. Like the name suggests, the txt pro is all about messaging, and features Gmail, Google Talk, Twitter, Facebook and txt apps.

Other features include a 3-inch screen with a 400 x 240 resolution, 64MB of RAM, up to 100MB of internal storage, microSD card support up to 32GB, a 3.2MP camera and up to 400 hours of standby time. Nothing on pricing or availability yet though.

Looks like Sony has been paying attention to what Nintendo is doing. They have announced that future stereoscopic 3D titles on the PS3 will come with a 3D slider that allows you to adjust the depth of 3D displayed by the game. It’s similar to how the 3DS handles 3D.

The adjustment can be made using the left analog stick, using a tilt. Do you have your 3D TV yet? I doubt the phenomenon will last long, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

We know that you’ve been wondering what the Samsung Acclaim looks like. Well, wonder no more. This is the first official pic of the handset, discovered on Samsung’s site. The Acclaim is running Android and the slider also offers a full QWERTY keypad with a dedicated number row.

That cross pattern on the left may indicate some gaming possibilities. Earlier rumors say that the Acclaim will have a US release in July with a 3.2-inch screen. We should know more soon.

This isn’t the first time that pictures of the upcoming BlackBerry 9800 slider have shown up, but so far they’ve been blurry. Now however, we have some pretty good looking images of the device, which give us a much better idea of the device.

Now you can clearly see the SIM card slot and memory card slots. The pics are good enough to give you an idea whether you want the BlackBerry 9800 slider when it’s released, or not.

If the latest leaked images are to be believed, the Nokia C6 comes in slider form and looks fairly similar to the Nokia 5230. Looks genuine, but you never can tell for sure. Hopefully Nokia will confirm or deny soon so we can put it to rest either way.

It also looks similar to the N97 and N97 Mini, but the sliding QWERTY keyboard is parallel to the screen, which is much nicer. Looks like the C6 also has a trackpad that you won’t really need with the full touchscreen display.

Some new info has leaked regarding the BlackBerry slider and according to the latest rumors, the device failed the early diagnostic testing 4 out of 5 times, which obviously isn’t good. If the rumor holds up, the BlackBerry slider may be headed for Sprint, since the device had a Sprint logo.

There is a GSM/HSPA version of the device and the models are called the BlackBerry 9900 and BlackBerry 9930. It looks like the HSPA version will support 850/1900MHz UMTS bands which would make it compatible with AT&T and Rogers’ 3G networks.

We don’t normally see many Android devices in slider form, the Motorola Droid aside, but the Inbrics M1 is another and it’s extremely thin for a slider. The features are pretty decent as well. It boasts a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display, 3-megapixel camera, front-facing VGA camera, an 800MHz processor, 16GB of built-in storage, microSD card slot, and a full QWERTY keyboard.

Not too shabby at all. It runs Android 1.5 for now, but by the time it hits in March 2010, Android 2.0 should be onboard. Nothing on carrier or price yet, but you will know when we do.

Samsung’s entry-level C5130 slider phone looks a little, uh, how should I say, “husky” in this pic. Well, despite it’s width, it has been launched in India for a mere 6200 INR (That’s $134 to you and me). It does have some useful features for an entry-level phone.

Like 3G and social networking integration, home screen shortcuts to 8 popular social networking services like Facebook, YouTube, Orkut and Picasa too. The C5130 also packs Bluetooth, FM radio, a 1.3-megapixel camera, microSD card support and talk time of up to 13 hours.

Word on the street is that RIM is working on a new BlackBerry. One that will feature not just a touchscreen display, but also a slide out QWERTY keyboard. Such a device would definitely give users the best of both worlds and it adds flexibility.

The touchscreen would offer ease of use, while a QWERTY keyboard makes composing emails and text messages a breeze. At the moment this is just a rumor, but it wouldn’t surprise us at all.

Here’s a different kind of slider from JVC Japan. The SP-A130 is exactly what it looks like, a sliding speaker. These portable active speakers are 30mm wide and will deliver stereo output up to 160mW×2ch. The case has a sliding mechanism which protects the actual speakers from dust and dirt.

The unit is powered by 4 AA batteries which will give you 16 hours of continuous play. The speaker also has a passive mode which allows it to draw power from the source.

Pantech’s latest offering to the cellphone gods is the doublEye IM-U490S, available under the Sky brand. This slider boasts an interesting Picture-in-Picture feature, which lets you take photos while recording videos at the same time.

Some other features include an animated Flash menu, widgets support, HSPDA connectivity, integrated DMB-TV tuner, 3-megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot, 2.6″ QVGA display and 130MB of internal memory.

Here’s a conceptual design that we haven’t seen before. The DYA phone concept has materialized from the future, with some interesting futuristic features. For one thing it’s got rounded bubble-type buttons that are easy to press, without having to look at them.

In back it’s coated with elastic paint that makes it pleasant to touch and reduces the chances that it will be damaged when dropped. Strangest of all, and maybe the coolest feature is the diagonal cut that makes it compact when not in use, but at the same time large enough to be used comfortably when you open it up to make or receive a call.

We have to hand it to Motorola on this one, this is one sexy phone. The ROKR ZN50 is a music-centric, full touchscreen slider with a 3.2-inch panel (427 x 240 resolution), automatic screen rotation, shake to switch tracks, 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, Bluetooth stereo headset support, SRS WOW HD audio tech and a battery that will provide 30 hours of audio playback.

You’ll also get a T-DMB TV tuner, 4GB of inbuilt memory, a microSDHC card slot, 3.2 megapixel camera, an e-dictionary and support for 7.2Mbps HSDPA. Now for the bad news. It looks like the phone is being reserved for the Korean market.

The Samsung S5200 has suddenly appeared on the company’s Italian website’s ‘coming soon’ section, so we should be seeing it fairly soon. The S5200 is presented as an ultra-slim, fashionable phone that features a 2.1 inch display screen, a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth and a media player.

We don’t have anything about price yet, but the Italian site claims that it will be available on 3rd June. It has an interesting design compared to other Samsung sliders. It’s a bit thinner than we thought at 103.6 x 48.7 x 10.9 mm.
