Compactness of the S8300 is the specialty of the handset with a 12.8 mm thickness and widescreen OLED display, maybe the largest of all times. Further than this, this wide display will be a touchscreen one.

As we mention before 8 megapixelw with autofocus but unfortunately without a xenon flash are among the other features with HSDPA, DivX video support and GPS receiver. From the photos available, it can be said that the handset will be a TouchWiz interfaced rather than being a smartphone. Another multimedia features on board are FM radio with RDS, microSD card slot and Bluetooth 2.1. Another disappointment would be lack of Wi-Fi feature.

Since this information is not official and subject to change and disappear at any time there is not certain information about the release date and price of the Samsung S8300, but it is mentioned that it will be around by March 2009.

The Nokia N96 is officially added to the list of handsets that will have Comes with Music edition after the Nokia 5310 and Nokia N95 8gb. As you may remember with the service you may download unlimited almost up to 2 million tracks from the Nokia Music store without any charges.

The new Comes with Music edition of Nokia N96 will set you back 540 GBP (around 570 euro or 800 US dollars), which is about 60 GBP more than what you would pay for the standard version of the phone. What you get for that extra money is the permission to download unlimited number of tracks from the Nokia Music store.

The price tag for the Comes with Music edition of the Nokia N96 will be 540 GBP which is 570 euros or 800 USD right now. Thus it will be 60GBP more expensive from the standart edition of the handset. 60GBP could be worth to download unlimited songs in unlimited time frame.

However not everything was great about Comes with Music service. So far first impressions showed there are still much room for the improvement. You still need to use your computer for downloading and you can’t burn your downloaded songs to a CD because of the copyright purposes and finally you cannot transfer the tracks from one computer to another.

But still it is a great news for the music lovers on their mobile handsets. The release date for the Nokia N96 Comes with Music Edition is expected to be January 2009. If you like to refresh your memories about the Nokia N96 you may also click here.

The specialty about the Nokia 8800 Gold Arte is that it is covered with 18-carat gold and white high quality special leather

As for the features, as we mentioned before, Gold Arte follows the Carbon Arte with the same set of features. It includes 2” OLED QVGA display with 16M colors, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and 4GB memory but this time not expandable with microSD cards.

Also the accelerometer based features are available including tapping for time and turning the phone to mute.

As for the price and release date for Gold Arte, there is no certain information available, but we should remind you as soon as it breaks out, but don’t expect it to be lower than a 1000 euros though.

First it was called Samsung T929 Memoir, and now called M8800L is for sure on its way for engagement with AT&T. Some of the features of this handset is given as dual-band 3.5G support of 850 and 1900 Mhz. M8800L also supports 1700 Mhz HSDPA as a connectivity feature when compared to other version and also there is a change in the position and shape of the camera flash. As for the other features, it seems as the same of the original.

With its huge touchscreen, regardless of its name being either Pixon or Memoir, Samsung M8800 should hit US shelves soon with power.

As we all knew, the Nokia N85 and N79 were on European markets since summer, but now they offer a nice upgrade for old N-series owners.

As to remember some of the features in common, both handsets possess 5MP snappers with auto focus option and Carl Zeiss optics, FM transmitter, VGA video, TV out and 3.5mm audio jack. But Nokia N85 also have OLED screen and tri-band UMTS as a higher model. Still Nokia N79 has its Xpress-On covers as a specialty.

Price tag for both Nokia N85 and N79 are given clearly. While Nokia N85 costs $540, Nokia N79 is priced at $440.

When it comes to feature list, this superstar of N series has lots to talk about. On the top of the list there is quad-band GSM and tri-band HSDPA for usage worldwide, Wi-Fi, GPS, 32GB of internal memory which will be expandable up to 48GB with microSD cards, 5 megapixel camera, touch-enabled Nokia Maps, accelerometer for screen rotation automatically and distance sensor for turning your screen off automatically during calls.

When it comes to its huge display, it has 16M color touchscreen TFT display. Its resolution is 360x 640 pixels. And finally and as a classic stereo Bluetooth, FM radio with RDS and 3.5mm audio jack and TV-out are on the package.

The size also matters when there is lots of features. People expect these kind of handsets to be small in size so that it is a real handset rather than a hand computer. The Nokia N97 weighs 150g and quite heavy in this manner but still its dimensions are not even bigger than Apple Iphone 3G.

The Nokia N97 release date is expected to be second quarter of 2009 and its price tag should be around 550 euro before taxes and subsidies.

However unlikely Hugo Boss didn’t change the design of the Samsung F480 TouchWiz mobile phone but just put their logo on the front side of the handset.

There won’t be any change of features in Samsung Hugo Boss F480 and as a reminder it will have 5 mp camera 2.8” huge touchscreen display, and 3G with HSDPA connectivity features and other previously listed features as well.

Also the software that is run inside the handset has been designed for Hugo Boss. Thus there are special icons and wallpaper on user interface with Hugo Boss theme. Also there are some special ringtones that reflects the sound of the company.

Accessories were also inevitable for this type of branded product, and we weren’t suprised to see Hugo Boss styled Bluetooth inside the retail package as well.

Hugo Boss Samsung F480 will only be sold in Hugo Boss stores, and its release date is very soon, December 2008, so expect to see it in a few days across Europe. Its price is expected 479 Euros, so it is a little bit high as the Hugo Boss products.

The outlook for the Nokia 6260 slide is not very different. As we are familiar with latest 6000 line, it has the same look. Especially it shares its design with the Nokia 6600 slide and Nokia 6210 Navigator. However with its superior features it is a candidate to be the best handset among S40 mobile phones.

When it comes to talk about feature list, there is a long list to tell about. Among the communication features, it has quad-band GSM support with HSDPA 10.2 mbps, Wi-Fi, built-in GPS receiver with GPS support.

In its display Nokia 6260 possess 2.4” 16M color display with the one-off resolution of 320 x 480 pixels (HVGA). As a snapper it has 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, but only disadvantage would be 15fps VGA recording quality, which is common among S40 phones.

As for the internal memory, it has 200MB memory and expanded with microSD cards up to 8GB cards. Furthermore nice features are added to S40 handset for the first time like 360-degree D-pad ana Nokia WebKit Open Source browser, which is a special browser for mobile phones that enables you to use a virtual mouse pointer interface, incremental page rendering, visual history browsing and page mini-map. And final addition to S40 features is Flash Lite 3, and using it you will be able to watch flash videos from your handset.

Finally as a classic for higher range Nokia phones, there is a stereo Bluetooth, 2.5mm A/V hack with TV-out and microUSB port is available on Nokia 6260 slide.

The release date for the Nokia 6260 slide will be on January 2009 with beige and black color options so far, and its price is expected to be 299 euro before taxes and subsidies, so it will be a nice competition between expected E series smartphones. However it is especially a nice phone for younger people who cannot afford N series phones especially with newly introduced features for S40 line.

However the bad news is that the website for this customization is only in French, and as you may guess there is no way to translate the website since it is made in flash. However still if you understand French and can get some from the pictures while you create your own Nokia 7310 Supernova you can use the top 5 templates and ready templates or create entire outlook from the start.

Feel free to check this website and pimp your own Nokia 7310 Supernova from the Nokia Build French website.

Especially in a place where Bruce Lee is adored, Nokia released the special mobile handset in Hong Kong. We should remind you that the phone is a limited product so if you are a Bruce Lee fan, you should be quick to get one.

As a mobile phone, Bruce Lee edition has no additional features but comes with special design and accessories on the package. First of all as a design, the handset has Bruce Lee’s face and signature on the back case. And in package, there are very unique photos of Bruce Lee and a Bruce Lee doll manufactured by Enterbay company.

The Nokia N96 Bruce Lee addition is already ready for purchase on Chinese Nokia website. If you are a Bruce Lee fan and don’t know Chinese below you can see the link for the translated version but still since it is a flash website you need help from Chinese guys. The price tag is at 8,788 Chinese yuan (about $1,286), hopefully it will be ready for purchase around the world soon, but don’t expect it so much.
