It looks like the Sagem Puma Phone has just hit at least one carrier in Europe. It looks PosteMobile, "an Italian MVNO that uses Vodafone's network", now has the handset for €299 ($360 USD). This handset sports a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, GPS / HSDPA support, and a solar panel on the back. PosteMobile also has a promotion (here) going on where you can win €500 ($603 USD) in "telephone traffic." Of course, if you don't want this model there'll be the Puma Phone 2 running Android next year.

Sagem's Puma phone looks like it has just gotten clearance from the good ol' FCC (filing here). The filing confirms what we already know so that's a 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, GPS support, and a solar panel on the back. Unfortunately, it won't be hitting the US until the first half of 2011. If you live in Europe you should be getting it real soon because it's expected to hit both Vodafone and Orange in the middle of May.

Sagem is making the first Puma phone but we already know that. Sagem will also be working on two more phones, the Puma 2 and the Netribe. First off, the Puma 2 will launch sometime in 2011 and it'll run Android with their own custom Puma UI. This handset will reportedly cost less than the first Puma phone - which should be around $500 unlocked. The other handset will also be running Android and it's the Netribe. This handset will sport a QVGA touchscreen display and a 3.2MP camera. It should launch sometime in Q3 in Europe and it'll be priced at €115 ($150 USD).

Like we expected, the Puma Phone has just been announced and they teamed up with Sagem to manufacture the phone. It's got the solar panel on the back and reminds me of a Samsung Corby on the front. It's packing a 2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen QVGA display, a 3.2MP camera with an LED-flash, and GPS support. Of course, it's got a stopwatch, pedometer, and a GPS tracker just for you fit people out there. You can strap this one to your arm when you go out for a run. This handset will be available in Europe in April of this year - the price has yet to be mentioned.
