At the CeBIT show in Germany, Samsung (http://www.samsung.com) unveiled the SCH-i310, the successor to its i300 Smartphone. Outwardly, the two devices are nearly identical. But the i310 is based on Windows Mobile 5 software and has an integrated, 8 GB micro hard drive built into it for storage of music, video, and other data. (The original i300 had a 3 GB drive, but a 4 GB version was also released.) The popularity of mobile music and video ensures that we'll be seeing more Windows Mobile devices with high-capacity micro hard drives.
The i310 supports GSM/GPRS networks and is EDGE capable. It has integrated Bluetooth that supports audio streaming, a 2 mega pixel flash camera, and a micro-SD expansion card slot. Samsung will also bundle document viewing software with the i310 and i320, for MS Office applications and Acrobat files.

slim Sony ericsson phone
The Sony Ericsson rumor mill has been churning things out at a wild rate in the last days and weeks, leading some (that some includes us) to speculate that a product launch (or two!) may be just around the corner. The latest fodder for our eyes to feast upon -- from left to right in the picture -- is the candybar codenamed "Nicole" and the slider called "Shinobu." The Shinobu is rumored to pack such niceties as HSDPA, 2.4 inch QVGA screen, 2 megapixel cam, and what appears to be a forward-facing camera into a svelte half-inch thick package. Nicole is touted to be the first handset under the Sony Ericsson / Sagem partnership and brings a 2 inch QCIF screen, 2 megapixel camera, and 3G (no word on flavor) also packed in a half-inch thin handset. Both pics smack of fan renders, so we will just have to cross our fingers and hope that Sony Ericsson spills the beans on these two in the near term.

Sony Ericsson W958c Walkman Phone
The Sony Ericsson W958 phone is actually designed for the Chinese market. It is a GSM/GPRS phone with a 2.6 inch screen for easier navigation of your playlists and albums. The phone is powered by the UIQ3 and Symbian OS v9.1 and features some of the best features on a smartphone. The W958 features 4GB of flash memory which can store up to 4,000 songs, and has included Opera 8.0 (mobile version) on the W958 for an enhanced web browsing experience. Bluetooth and Infrared are also available. Pricing information has not been made available at this time.
Sony Ericsson launched their newest mobile phone, the Sony Ericsson K320i, which features support for blackberry-like push email, PC synchronization, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Sony Ericsson K320i is the company’s first phone to feature automatic Bluetooth pairing which makes it easier to pair with accessories such as a wireless headset. Unlike most business phones, the Sony Ericsson K320i comes built in with a VGA camera with 4x digital zoom and a media player which can play both music and video clips. This tri-band phone is available in Misty Silver, Graphite Grey and Light Brown and will be available in select markets beginning next month. Unfortunately, there is no word on pricing yet. More spec after the jump!
