The Samsung phone SPH-M910 has paid a visit to the FCC and while it isn’t precisely clear yet, speculation is that that phone is the same device as the recently leaked Sprint Moment 2. The shape of the phone pictured in the FCC documents more or less matches up to the pictures of the leaked phone, so there does seem to be a possibility here. Aside from being powered by Android 2.1 with the TouchWiz 3.0 user interface, there isn’t much knowledge on the Sprint Moment 2, so it looks like we’ll have to be patient. Are you looking forward to the Sprint Moment 2?

This is still very much in the rumor bin, but word is going around that the upcoming BlackBerry 9670 clamshell device might be a Verizon exclusive. According to the rumor, Verizon asked RIM to build such a device, according to their specifications, which included a clamshell anatomy factor, 5-megapixel camera and an updated user interface. whether the rumor is true, Verizon would have the exclusive rights to the 9670 in the US, while Vodafone would have a similarly exclusive deal by in Europe. The 9670 is designed as a hip device targeted at the younger generation and has apparently been told to hit a specific price point, which suggests that that phone might not break the bank, news that is very much welcome. Do you think that there is any truth in that?

The Motorola MING smartphone seems to have gotten an update, where it is now known as the MT820 according to the latest photos uploaded to a Chinese site. These photos seem to tout a different case design as well as button arrangement, but we do know it will be called the MT820. Widely believed would be it running on at least Android 2.0 (or above) alongside the MOTOBLUR user interface, dual SIM support, a 5-megapixel camera with video capture capability and compatibility with the TD-SCDMA network in China. There is no word on pricing or availability just yet though.

Guess you won’t find any stranger named handset in the world other than the QderoPateo Ouidoo. Its user interface resembles that of Windows Phone 7, where it will be equipped with an alleged 26-core CPU (impossible!), a 3.5″ touchscreen display at 800 × 480 resolution, 512MB RAM (how paltry), 4GB ROM, a microSD memory card slot, a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and Ouidoo OS. It will hit China via China Mobile, roaming on the TD-SCDMA sometime that July for no more than $588 after conversion. Folks outside of China who are curious will be able to have a gander at it sometime later via WCDMA and CDMA2000 versions.

Tech startup Kakai is said to be working on a new device which will rival the Amazon Kindle for the classroom, and while we do not have any image or photo of said device, it has a very good chance of coming with a dual display, powered by a Linux operating system while supporting gesture-based touch to navigate through its user interface. Positioned as a hybrid e-reader and notepad, that Kakai offering will feature software and web access, relying on LCDs instead of e-paper. Well, we do hope to see something more concrete roll out sometime in the near future.

Isn’t that ironic – an iPhone clone known as the Miphone A3 will at least not run on a knockoff version of the iPhone OS, but will instead rely on the open source Android OS albeit with a user interface that does resemble the iPhone’s just to keep the folks at Apple hot under the collar. Features include a 3″ HVGA capacitive touchscreen display with multi-touch capability, Wi-Fi connectivity, WCDMA support and Android 1.5. Shame about the operating system version though, as they could have at least thrown in Android 1.6 at the very least. No word on pricing and availability as at press day though.

For those of you who have been hankering after the Sony Ericsson Satio for a towering date already, good news – it is new readily available at Sony Style stores Stateside, where you can pick it up unlocked for $650. Strangely ample, that comes about after having being announced nearly one whole year ago, which more or less makes its specifications somewhere near mid-range, although we are pretty positive that its 12-megapixel camera would be the main focal point of the handset. As for the rest of us who have gotten used to a simpler and cleaner user interface, that Symbian-powered handset might take some getting used to.

Check out the debut of MeeGo 1.0 which is running on an Intel-powered netbook, where it comes with a simplified user interface which seems to lean far more on the Moblin side compared to Maemo. Items such as tasks, appointments, most-used apps and a quick-launch bar are located in front, where you will plus be able to take advantage of 3D gaming support, navigate within Zones, Applications, folks, Net, Media and Settings tabs, take advantage of real-time social networking thanks to Twitter and Facebook integration as well as instant messaging with task bar alerts. What do you think so far?
