The Samsing SGH-F508 DiVX Certified Phone
July 31, 2007
Here’s another phone to look forward to after the iPhone madness. Well, it’s not just a phone, it’s the Samsung SGH-F508 Ultra Video Phone that answers atleast one of our deepest desires — DiVx video playback! We can’t wait to get our hands on this one already! It’s confirmed that the SGH-F508 already got the green light on DiVX Certification, which also means that the F5-8 will also be compatible with over 90 million DiVx certified devices, as well as be able to play videos from DiVx Stage 6 websites, as MobileWhack writes. Take note that this is already Samsung’s second phone to get DivX certified.
FeOf course it includes a large swivel LCD scren for ultimate viewing satisfaction, the sad thing though is that the Asian market will be the first to experience this DiVx phone by the end of 2007. Oh well, we got the iPhone first.

Conjoined Phones: iCool G700 2-Phones-in-1
July 30, 2007
Indeed, this is taking the Dual Sim thing a notch higher. The iCool G700 does have two phones joined in one clamshell.
Designed a la Vertu, the iCool 30 mm thick is equipped with a 2.0
megapixel camera, a 2-inch display screen, among others. Each half of the clamshell can operate a sim as they have different boards, and are even 3G compatible! The downside
is, they share the same battery. As of now, we have no idea on how much it costs and where it is available.

Victoria’s Secret Out! Sony Ericsson to Release a VS Phone
July 28, 2007
The first thing that comes to mind when the words Victoria’s Secret are mentioned is sexy. However, the soon to be released Victoria’s Secret phone by Sony Ericsson isn’t, so don’t keep your hopes up. It isn’t as curvaceous body-wise, or sleek, chic, and hot as the models, lookswise design-wise, as it is a simple no-frills candybar phone.
The phone’s features however, are better than how it looks. It sports a 3.2 megapixel Cybershot camera with Xenon flash light(not bad), HDSPA, FM radio, an MP3/AC music player, plus an M2 memory card slot, among others.
Hmm. What’s inside is definitely better than what we see on the outside. Are they trying to tell us something?

July 28, 2007
Prada has done it, so has Dolce and Gabbana, quite successfully if I might add. The hottest scoop from the grapevine is that Samsung is currently in talks with fashion hous Amrani to come up with their own mobile phone. They are currently in talks, but the deal hasn’t been inked yet,so to speak. The rumors are supposedly fueled by the Korea Herald when an “unknown informer from [sic] Samsung says we might see Samsung Armani European release already in October,” as Mobile-review writes.
Expect the Armani to live up to its name and to be at par with the other Designer Label Phones, as the Italian Designer is said to provide the phone design and is to have a very active role in the development of the phone, according to IntoMobile. Surely, the phone will have unique interface and design, advanced features and exclusive content.
Very exciting news to all fashionistas worldwide!
