Samsung i8330 ‘H2′ for Vodafone leaked?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

At the time of its release late last year, Samsung’s H1 for Vodafone’s then-new 360 service represented some of the sweetest featurephone hardware that money could buy, thanks to a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen, WiFi, 5 megapixel autofocus cam, and 16GB of onboard storage. Those are still killer specs, but it’s continuously onward and upward with these guys — so we’re not surprised to see unverified information of an H2 model surface. Like the H1, this new handset (apparently with internal model number i8330) is said to run LiMo (release 3 this time) and packs an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and HD video capture, 1GHz Cortex-A8 processor, and a WVGA Super AMOLED display. Super AMOLED sounds like a gimmick until you actually see a display in the flesh, then you realize that it’s the real deal, so this phone could make some waves; it’s tapped for launch before World Cup soccer starts next month, so we could see an announcement any minute at this time.

LG Chocolate Touch for Verizon revealed?

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Don’t adjust your monitors, ladies and gentlemen: this is allegedly the upcoming Chocolate Touch for Verizon, and despite our most heartfelt hopes to the contrary, it couldn’t possibly look less like the BL40. We guess the crazy stylized back is pretty cool, but frankly, this design doesn’t inspire any more emotion from us than a Versa — and that’s a big problem for a phone that’s supposed to help properly rep LG’s chic Black Label line in the US. Call us bonkers, but we’re gonna go ahead and hold out hope that this is actually something other than the Chocolate Touch — LG’s continuously got a ton of hardware in the pipeline for Verizon, after all — and foolishly believe that they’ll still launch a totally authentic, unfettered version of the real deal this fall. Hey, it could happen, right?
