Samsung has already said they wan to offer Windows Mobile 6 along with the Omnia II upgrades that will be released with the 6.1. But that commitment needs to be made into practice, right? Microsoft’s Austrian has also said that the Korean WinMo superphone is going to be on the domestic market early this September with the 6.5 installed. This says clearly that other handsets in some other markets in the world have taken this technology. Still, Samsung is in the race to be the first with the WinMo 6.5 on Omnia II but we want proof not just talk.

The exclusivity has ended. Sprint has touched bases with Verizon and, in the race to deliver the BlackBerryTour to the market, they are releasing this great RIM device right on July 12. The price will be, for contract and after the rebates, around $199.99. Now, the statement “later this summer” has been replaced with “early this summer”. This can only be great for us, consumers.

Rogers gets the coolest gadgets and mobile phones the fastest way. All North America knows that. But this time, Rogers didn’t get first this phone. T-Mobile USA took the cake and beat them to the punch. T-Mobile is adding the new Nokia 7510 on the offer. With this phone, if you are in range of a hotspot, you will be able to have offload calls to WiFi. you can also do easily transfers from the GSM. The phone has no 3G, but it comes with cool changeable faceplates, secondary display, micro SD and also 2 megapixel camera. The price, with a 3 years contract, is $49.99 in Canada.

Vodafone UK is quite pleased these days. The operator has included in the offer the business Samsung C6625. The cute Samsung C6625 runs on Windows Mobile 6.1, has full QWERTY keyboard and also a quite modest 2 megapixel camera. The screen has a resolution of 320 x 240, and, as expected, it can plug into Microsoft Exchange for e-mail, contacts and other business goodies. This good looking phone will also run on 3G with speeds up to 3.6 Mbps, fact that compensated the lack of Wi-Fi.  The downside of the C6625 is the keys which look a bit uncomfortable.

New and so fresh looking. Here it is the Samsung’s M8910 Pixon12. The camera has an amazing 12 megapixel sensor that can capture the light through a 28mm wide-angle lens, just like the Nokia N86 that only has 8 megapixels.  It looks like the Samsung handset has steped on the speed to release this and face the competition against Canon A620 and 350 SRL. Besides this, the phone looks good and the images it has are amazing.  The details get pictured really well. Still, we don’t know the price.

These days, some skillful hackers have transformed Google’s mobile OS into a Samsung Omnia i900. But don’t get too excited. There are many things to be developed.

But if you are a developer, you can also win almost $450 bucks if you make a fully functional Android installer for the Samsung Omnia. You can enter the competition here at AndroidOmnia.com.

In the last few months there were rumors that Intel and Nokia will become long-term partners. It is now official. The press release says that they have agreed on a long-term partnership that could change the way you live. The release doesn’t say exactly how that is going to happen but we can assume this coalition will shift the mobile computing. The press release says that in time, most of the innovations were made through association between giants. Another important aspect of the press release is that it said the first thing on the agenda will be to innovate the new mobile platform much more than the smartphones, notebooks and netbooks can do today. I must say that an Intel-powered smartphone can be quite interesting.

The price for this gadget is $99.99.
