If designer clothing, including bags and shoes, has most of its ad campaign done by celebrities, mobile phones too can as well be modeled by stars. Take for example what LG has in mind. They teamed up with fashionably sophisticated women Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria Parker to promote two of its stylish touchscreen mobile phones.

These phones are actually the LG Lotus Elite and the LG Rumor Touch, which have both been announced since January of this year. The ad campaign is actually called the LG Fashion Touch, and it is said to promote “personal style and the idea that mobile phones have become the latest in fashion communication.”

This device isn’t actually confirmed yet as it only appeared in an unofficial leak where it is said to be offered by Sprint. Also, rumors say that Sprint is actually gearing up to offer ultra cheap touchscreen phones next month and the Samsung Seek is said to come first. This phone indeed offers touchscreen display of 2.6-inch, and it will also have…

After being made official back in February and after being made available in India in April, the Samsung Monte S5620 is making news once more as it will now arrive in a special edition release. To celebrate the launch of the Iron Man 2 movie, Samsung now came up with the idea of having the Samsung Monte S5620 Iron Man 2 mobile phone.

Its new color, which is in a combination of black and yellow, may not really have something to do with Iron Man’s costume, but what made it a special edition is that this will have Iron Man 2 themes and a microSD card slot that is pre-loaded with…

A new all-touchscreen device from Samsung will now be part of China Mobile’s OPhone group as a certain Samsung GT-i7860 has been spotted. The OPhone is China Mobile’s special version of Android-based OS, so for the Chinese people out there who are looking for a yet another Android device, then this will surely be a great choice.

The Samsung GT-i7860 will also have support for China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA 3G and tri-band GSM radio. This will then be powered by 800MHz processor, and other features will include 3.5-inch WVGA 800 x 480 pixels AMOLED touchscreen display, 5-megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, FM radio, GPS, and WAPI, which is a Chinese version of…

The LG LU2300 Aloha that showed up in an official UK blog a few weeks back is now said to come not in such a name but in LG Ally moniker. We’re really confused about this latest news because based on the photos available, the LG Aloha looks a lot different than the Ally, and may I say that the Aloha looks a lot better.

Still, the LG Ally is believed to be running Android 2.1 OS and will be powered by 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Same features including 5-megapixel camera, sliding QWERTY keyboard, and 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display are as well available.

According to Android Central, the LG Ally will be available…

Well it looks like the Garmin-Asus alliance is back once again after we’ve heard of Garmin teaming up with T-Mobile with the use of its 3G bands a few weeks back. The latest mobile phone from Garmin and Asus is named as the Garmin-Asus A10, which runs on Android OS.

Design-wise, you can see another sleek and modernly-designed mobile phone in a combination of black and silver. The screen is about 3.2 inches, enough for your navigation purposes whether while in the car or walking. This also has a built-in compass and its GPS is as well combined with pre-loaded maps and turn-by-turn voice navigation. Other features then include 5-megapixel camera…

Samsung Galaxy A SHW-M100S Now Available via SKT

Announced in South Korea last February, the Samsung SHW-M100S has now been made available as the Samsung Galaxy A via SKT, which is South Korea’s largest mobile carrier. I’m not sure what’s with the A but I’d like to think it has to do with being an Android 2.1 smartphone and with having an “AMOLED PLUS” display.

Indeed, this runs on Android 2.1, which is said to be the first from the manufacturer. The 3.7-inch WVGA screen is said to come as an AMOLED PLUS, though it is also believed to be just another name for Super AMOLED. The Samsung Galaxy A SHW-M100S is then powered by 720MHz processor, and other…

We’ve already heard of Nokia X6, X5 and X3, so now it’s time for an X2, eh? Well indeed, Nokia has just announced another addition to their X series of music phones, which is the Nokia X2. Like the X3, the X2 is not a smartphone and thus it only runs on Series 40 OS.

The Nokia X3 is believed to be the first Series 40 Ovi Store-enabled device when it was presented since September of last year. With the coming of the X2, perhaps we can then say that this is the second Nokia S40 device to have the Ovi Store application as well. This slim music candybar phone measures…

LG has launched two new interesting Android phones that are both powered by Snapdragon processors. One of which is the LU2300, which we’ve already seen in leaked photos a few weeks back, and the other is the LG SU950/KU950.

Both of these smartphones don’t really have much difference it’s just that the LG LU2300 will have a slide out QWERTY keyboard and a built-in trackpad, while the LG SU950/KU950 will remain as just a mere candybar touchscreen phone. This gives mobile consumers options on whether to have that keyboard or not since both of these actually have the same features.

As said, these two smartphones will be running on open source Android…

Think you have seen this before? Well indeed, this Sanyo Juno is not a new phone but rather, it is a renamed Sanyo SCP-2700 that has already been made available via Sprint since last year. This time around, Boost Mobile has just launched it as the Sanyo Juno.

Based on its design, the Sanyo Juno should more likely be catered to young individuals who love texting, checking their emails or chatting in style. Obviously, all these could be done fast since it has a QWERTY keyboard. Its other features are nothing much to boast about, but still, this could be a functional device. This then includes a 2.2-inch QVGA screen, 1.3-megapixel…

A newly-leaked handset from Nokia’s C-series has been spotted. A website called Ciao Mondo has showed up leaked photos of what is believed to be the Nokia C2, though we still have yet to confirm this since this might just be another of those fake ones or mere rendered image.

Having the C letter designation tells that this is just going to be another feature phone; and based on the photo, this will have 240 x 320 pixels display, 2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and a rotation feature. Also, based on the photo available, that rotation feature could have something to do with the hardware itself since it obviously looks…
