Samsung Omnia

Samsung i900 Omnia, one of the hottest mobile phones of the year, is just about to hit the European shelves. The official launch event will be held only a week from now in Italy where the Omnia will debut.

The otherwise impressive Samsung i900 Omnia will make an appearance with an unsurpassed bundle. A free Xbox 360 gaming console will be available to users who pre-order the device.

Yeah, you got that right – everyone who places a pre-order on the Samsung i900 Omnia (as of July 14) will receive a free Xbox 360 once the handset actually starts retailing.

Orders can be placed through Media World stores across Italy. Sounds quite a deal at 499 euro (for the 8GB version) a piece, doesn’t it? This is not a subsidized price so prices will become even more affordable once mobile carriers take the plunge.

The Samsung i900 Omnia will hit the Italian market on July 22 and will be available in all major European countries and other GSM markets before the end of August.


Samsung i900 Omnia

Based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro, the Samsung i900 Omnia offers a 3.2-inch WideQVGA display (240 x 400 pixels) and an optical mouse much like the one found in the Samsung i780. Samsung i900 Omnia is also boasting a 5 megapixel auto focus snapper with face and smile detection plus auto-panorama shot. Geotagging is also among the camera features since the i900 also packs a built-in GPS receiver.

As style has it, the Samsung i900 Omnia waistline is only 12.5mm and the brushed metal back certainly adds to its refined looks. 8 and 16 GB versions of the Omnia will be available with all of them sporting a microSD card slot for expanding the memory even further.

Telecom Company Ericsson Building Trail 3G Mobile Network In Bangladesh

Ericsson Bangladesh Limited, a telecoms vendor, will introduce 3G technology for the first time in Bangladesh on a trial basis within a month.

The Sweden-based company already got permission from the Bangladesh Telecommu-nications Regulatory Commis-sion (BTRC) for conducting a third generation (3G) network technology demonstration.

"We have brought all the equipment required for demonstrating 3G technology in Bangladesh. So in a sense we are ready to display the advantages of 3G technology in Bangladesh," said Arun Bansal, managing director of Ericsson Bangladesh Limited.

He said, "Everything is going on and we hope officially we will make the demo by the beginning of August".

The company officials said they got the frequency from the BTRC for six months to operate the trail programme in the Dhaka region.

Usually, 3G is a technology that enables to services include wide-area wireless voice telephony, video calls, and broadband wireless data all in a mobile environment.

Ericsson Bangladesh is conducting the trial sharing sites with leading mobile phone operators Grameenphone, Telecom Malaysia International Bangladesh (AKTEL) and Warid Telecom International Ltd.

The company's managing director at its Dhaka office yesterday demonstrated one feature of 3G by making video calls within the trial network.

Bansal said in terms of high broadband technology, 3G can help the nation rather than any other upcoming technology.

Ericsson officials said 3G would be the perfect technology for commercial mobile broadband services as the technology offers the best way in terms of economies and spectrum efficiency.

3G technology-enabled network offers the users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency.

Ericsson completed a high length detail survey in 17 districts across the country among respondents of 15 to 60 years of age and found them highly interested in different features of the 3G technology.

The Swedish based telecom equipment supplier holds more than 70 percent market share in the Bangladesh market.

8 Megapixel Samsung i8510 Primera Surfaces

Just when you thought they can hardly squeeze much more features in a single mobile phone here come Samsung to disprove that. The Samsung i8510 Primera is the next multimedia powerhouse that is to be announced in the nearest future. It will be a Symbian-powered smartphone, sporting more features than any other handset we have ever seen (yeah – more than Nokia N96, too).


Samsung i8510 Primera

Coming with a design inspired by the Samsung U900 Soul and the Samsung G810 the Samsung i8510 Primera will come with an 8 megapixel auto focus camera. We wonder whether the rumor Samsung are manufacturing the camera sensor of the Sony Ericsson C905 is correct - may be the Primera will feature the same camera unit then. There is a LED flash on the Samsung i8510 - pity since a xenon one is highly appreciated in any cameraphone.


The 8 megapixel snapper

Other exciting features of the Samsung i8510 include Wi-Fi and GPS, which also comes with assisted-GPS functionality for better cold start performance of the navigation services.

The display of the Primera will be a 16M color 2.8-inch QVGA one and the handset utilizes the Symbian 9.3 OS with S60 UI. The amount of RAM is 128 MB and there will be a dedicated 3D graphics accelerator. Unfortunately there is no information regarding the CPU used in this multimedia monster.

Much like the Samsung i900 Omnia and the Apple iPhone there will be an 8GB and a 16GB version of the i8510 Primera. There will also be a microSD card slot for expanding it and improving the connectivity. Other connectivity options include USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.0. The network data transfers are good to go via 3G with HSDPA support.

For the music lovers Samsung i8510 will offer a 3.5mm standard audio jack which should also be capable of transferring 5.1 surround audio (unprecedented yet on a mobile phone). We wonder how it's going to do that with a single analogue jack - maybe it's SPDIF.

The Primera will also be capable of recording slow-motion videos in QVGA resolution at 120 fps which matches the capabilities of the LG KU990 Viewty and KF750 Secret. Another common thing with these two LG devices is the DivX playback support on the i8510.

Samsung i8510 will be powered by a 1200 mAh battery and will measure 106.5 x 53.9 x 16.9mm, which is close to Samsung’s previous Symbian-powered flagship – the G810, meaning it's a bulky fella. The official announcement of this multimedia monster is expected to come somewhere around mid-August and the price tag is rumored to be about 780 euro.

You don't really think this leak is accidental, do you? With all the iPhone fuss and excitement in the air, Samsung are obviously trying to cool things a bit by throwing those scrapes of information out in the open.
