Samsung GT-i9250 (Nexus Prime?) Hits the WiFi Alliance

Labels: , , , ,

Okay, so the Samsung GT-i9250 has just been spotted at the WiFi Alliance and rumour has it that this is "99.9%" the Nexus Prime. At least that's what some websites are saying. If that's the case then this one should be raising the smartphone standards as we know it. It should be running the next major version of Android "Ice Cream Sandwich" and it could also pack a 1,280 x 720 resolution display which is quite amazing. Word on the street says that it'll be powered by a TI OMAP4 CPU which sounds great. Now we play the waiting game.

Labels: , , , , , , ,

The Samsung (T989) Hercules may have just hit the Bluetooth SIG and the WiFi Alliance. The smartphone should be launching in Q4 of this year on T-Mobile USA. Specs are rumoured to be a 4.5-inch Super AMOLED+ WVGA display, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of ROM, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, an HDMI output, 4G, and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" with the Touchwiz UI. Furthermore, it should also have NFC so it's kind of like an upgraded Infuse 4G.

Samsung GT-i9023 Hits the FCC, Could It Be a Nexus S With Android 2.4?

Labels: , , , , , , ,

A new smartphone has just hit the FCC and it's the Samsung GT-i9023. Engadget has just mentioned that this smartphone is shaped exactly like a Nexus S so it could be just that. This handset could be a "Black Silver" Nexus S model because that's what some European retailers have put it up as but it actually could be something a bit better.

The video below is coming from BestBoyZ and Engadget has theorized that the GT-i9023 that hit the FCC could actually be a Nexus S with Android 2.4 which should be the next version of Google's OS (called Ice Cream or Ice Cream Sandwich. It could also have some other improvements including a dual-core CPU (hopefully!) and HSPA+ connectivity for T-Mobile USA (the i9023 has AWS 3G support). Google's probably already testing whatever device this is so we'll really just have to wait. Maybe the unveiling will be at MWC or Google I/O. We'll have to wait and see.

Dell M02M Hits the WiFi Alliance, Will Be Their Next Tablet / MID

Labels: , , , , , , , , ,

It's pretty clear that a new device from Dell is currently being tested, it has just been spotted at the WiFi Alliance. Dubbed the M02M, it's a step up from the Streak which is the M01M. This is clearly a "mobile internet device" with support for WiFi b/g/n so it could very well be a new tablet from the company. It could be a variety of things. It could be the 5-inch Streak 2 aka the Opus One or it could also be the 7 (or 10) inch Looking Glass tablet that was leaked by Engadget back in April. We'll just have to wait and see.

Samsung GT-I9010 Hits the FCC Looking Like a Galaxy S, Could It Be the Nexus Two?

Labels: , , , , , , , ,

That was definitely quick; everyday we're hearing more and more about the next Google Nexus device. For the time being we'll just call it the Nexus Two, even though that may not be the name when it actually launches. So far we've heard that this smartphone will be a "Google-experience" smartphone, it'll launch with the new version of Android, and it resembles the Galaxy S to a certain extent. Now, the FCC has just let the Samsung I9010 right on through and it definitely sports the same shape as a couple of the Galaxy S variants. In case you forgot, the Galaxy S's model number is the I9000 so you can tell that they'll be quite similar. Check it out at the FCC and even the WiFi Alliance if you're interested.

Who Knows What the Samsung (SPH-M920) Transform For Sprint Will Be?

Labels: , , , , ,

It looks like another Samsung handset, has just leaked out prematurely. Dubbed the SPH-M920, it could be hitting Sprint as the Transform. We don't know why it's called that but that could be because it has some transforming capabilities like a magic slide-out QWERTY keyboard or something like that. Specs are unknown right now even though this handset just hit the FCC. Engadget points out that this handset did also hit the WiFi Alliance and sports WiFi b/g/n support so that's a positive. Maybe we'll see this unveiled soon, sporting Android.

It tells us that it's (the GT-P1000) sporting WiFi a/b/g/n so that's some good news. This 7-inch tablet is going to be running Android along with Touchwiz 3.0 and it'll pretty much be a large Galaxy S.

Labels: , , , , ,

A new handset from Samsung has just hit the FCC (filing here) and it also hit the WiFi Alliance (here). This is the Samsung i5500 and it'll be a part of their Corby line-up. This is going to be the first Corby handset that will be running Android and it'll be version 2.1. The handset itself features WiFi, Bluetooth / GPS support, a touchscreen display, and a camera.

Although it's unconfirmed right now, the DROID 2 might have just been spotted at the WiFi Alliance. The tweet above matches with the certificate below. Whatever the Motorola A955 is it has WiFi b/g/n. If the rumours are true then this will be hitting Verizon later this year as the true and only successor to the Motorola DROID which was pretty successful. Keep in mind that the original DROID's model number was the A855.

We have no clue what this PB92100 handset is from HTC, but it'll definitely be rocking Windows Phone. The disclosure date is set for September 15th 2010, which is later this year suggesting that it could be one of their first smartphones running Windows Phone 7. This handset has passed the FCC, Bluetooth SIG, and even the WiFi Alliance so it's definitely a real device. The only thing we don't have are the specs.

10+ WiFi 802.11n Capable Handsets Pass the WiFi Alliance, Some Headed To Sprint / Verizon

Labels: , , , ,

The WiFi Alliance made an interesting announcement. Apparently, at least 10 new handsets have been granted with WiFi n capabilities and so far all of the ones that also passed the FCC were caught sporting CDMA connectivity. Obviously this means that Verizon / Sprint will be getting a couple of these handsets, which would be perfect for Skype on the go. The details on every single handset hasn't been revealed yet, so let's hope we see the majority of them by the end of the week.

Samsung GT-I9000 Spotted at the WiFi Alliance

Labels: , ,

We don't know what it is right now, but the Samsung GT-I9000 looks like it has just been spotted taking a dip at the WiFi Alliance. It's got WiFi 802.11 b/g support but no sign of 802.11n on there. Maybe this'll be the Omnia III or something and maybe it'll even run Windows Phone 7. Oh, the possibilities.

Verizon Palm Pre Gets a WiFi Certificate; Stocking Up On 600,000 Palm Pixis As Well

Labels: , , , , , ,


So, a Palm smartphone has just popped up in the WiFi certification and it looks like it could actually be the upcoming Pre - the one headed to Verizon. To make things even more interesting Verizon could also be looking to stock up 600,000 Pixis next year as well. Maybe both handsets hit Verizon at the exact same time, kind of like when Verizon launched the Motorola DROID and the HTC Droid Eris.

Motorola MB501 Spotted at the WiFi Alliance, Possibly Another Android Handset

Labels: , , , ,


At the WiFi Alliance, a new Motorola handset has just been spotted, the MB501. This handset has a similar codename to the MB200 / MB300 which turned out to be the Motorola CLIQ and the DEXT, so this could be another Android handset from them. Maybe it's the Motorola Droid, which would suck since we already know all about it. We want something new - even though the Droid is a damn powerful device.
