Those who find the Samsung B3410 CorbyPlus interesting but its lack of Wi-Fi holds you back from getting it, you’ll surely be glad to learn about this Samsung Ch@t B3410W. This device is indeed the same B3410 CorbyPlus released last year, but this time, with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Actually, aside from having a Wi-Fi, this Samsung Ch@t B3410W will also be having large internal memory at 1GB or 2GB. Other features remain the same as with the CorbyPlus, and these include 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen display, 2-megapixel camera, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth, media player, microSD card slot, and of course, access to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter,…

The Acer Liquid A1, which was released last year, is now getting a successor in this Acer Liquid e. I’m not sure what’s with the letter “e” addition to its name, but I guess it has to do with its latest OS as this Acer Liquid e will now be running on Android 2.1 or also known as the Éclair.

With the latest Android 2.1 OS, this Acer Liquid e should then have 5 homescreen pages, live wallpapers, improved web browsers and more. That’s actually the main difference that this Acer Liquid e has to its predecessor, and everything else remains almost the same.

This will have 3.5-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen display…

Along with the announcement of the Toshiba TG02 comes the Toshiba K01, which has as well been announced at the MWC 2010. This new smartphone seems to be the same as the TG02, more so if you’ll see both of its design.

Indeed, this Toshiba K01 doesn’t have that much difference as with the TG02 and perhaps the most noticeable of which is its availability of slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Like the TG01 and the TG02, this will also be powered by 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and will as well be running on Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. This then has 4.1-inch of WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, which is believed to be their…

It looks like the long-rumored Motorola Zeppelin won’t come out with such a name as it has finally been announced at the MWC 2010 as the Motorola CLIQ XT or Quench outside the US. There are a few distinct differences that this smartphone has as compared to its predecessor, the Cliq, which is released last year.

This Motorola Cliq XT or Quench is believed to be the eight Android smartphone from the manufacturer. Unlike the original, this won’t have any physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard; but rather, it will have the Swype input on the virtual keyboard. Aside from that, another difference is that this new smartphone has optical trackpad, Adobe Flash…

So you’ve already heard of the Android-running Asus-Garmin Nuvifone A50, eh? Now, here’s another smartphone collaboration from these two companies, the Asus-Garmin Nuvifone M10. Instead of being powered by Google’s OS, this will actually be running on Windows Mobile 6.5.3.

You might probably choose to have the Android-running A50 than this, but actually, this M10 is a somewhat higher-end device than the A50 since it will have 5-megapixel camera as compared to A50’s 3-megapixel count.

This will also have 3.5-inch WVGA resistive touchscreen display, 3.5mm headset jack, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, 512MB of RAM and ROM, and 4GB of built-in memory. And since this M10 is another Asus-Garmin collaboration, you know this will be…

We’ve actually heard of the mini version of this Xperia X10 back in January, and finally the company has officially announced it along with the X10 Mini Pro.

It was just back in January of this year when Sony Ericsson has announced the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, and now here’s the Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro, which they’ve announced at the MWC 2010. Both of which are actually just the same thing from its design to specs, only that the Vivaz Pro has slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Although this has a slide-out keyboard, you’d probably think that this is much bigger and thicker than the original. Surprisingly though, only 2mm of thickness and 20 grams of weight have been added to this Vivaz Pro.

As said, this Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro holds the same features as the Vivaz and these include 3.2-inch 360…
