As expected, the touch-based phone from Samsung looks pretty. The cellphone has a 3.2-inch 262,000 color touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera and supports HSDPA at 3.6Mbps. No release date yet for the US, but it looks like it will reach Europe first for a whopping $734 without contract. Full official specs are after the jump. Tri band GSM (900/1800/1900), UMTS 2100, HSDPA 3.6 Mbps 3.2 262K Color 16:9 Wide Full Touch Display with Haptics feedback Croix interface 5 mpx camera, video recording (MPEG4, QVGA at 15 fps) Front camera for video calls Video playback at 30 fps 130 MB of Internal memory Built-in mobile Google apps microSD card slot standard 3.5 mm headphone jack Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP+AVRCP), USB 2.0 Dimensions: 115 x53.5 x11.8 mm Weight: 102g Looks nice, but $734 for a phone with 130MB of internal RAM and 0.46-inch thick? Not for us, thanks. [Unwired View]

The picture that it puts up isn't amazing, but you wouldn't be watching HD movies using this thing anyways. It could be useful for business travelers who want to do easy presentations as well as regular consumers who want to share short videos and pictures with their friends. There are no concrete plans to actually put this tech into, you know, devices you can buy, but hey, they're working on it so you've gotta assume they plan to get paid for it at some point.

Not only does it have a screen underneath for typing (in addition to the outside screen), it's powered by a 520MHz CPU, has Tri-band GSM, 3G, 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, not to mention Wi-fi and Bluetooth. As long as that keyboard underneath feels as good as it looks, this could be a killer communicator. [GPS&Co via Unwired View via New Launches via Uber Gizmo]

Also listed was an 8GB N82, but it was subsequently taken off the list, while this new N95 mention was left on. Could we be seeing a refresh to the Nokia line sometime soon? If a North American 8GB N95 is in the works, one would assume it would offer 3G wireless over US bands like its 4GB counterpart. But if Nokia really wanted to excite me, they would offer an N95 with a touchscreen and a QWERTY/SureType keyboard. [The Nokia Guide via Boy Genius Report]

We don't have full specs yet, but it seems that the 5-megapixel camera has been cut down to 2-megapixels, but the 150MB of internal memory and microSD slot remains. It doesn't look like it's much of a smartphone, but that might be a good thing. [Phonemag]

The Swiss photographer and graphic designer folded a $100 bill in all sorts of clever ways and turned it into a stand for either jesusPhone or iPod Touch. How-to video is after the jump, plus a quick Q&A session with Enrique. Gizmodo: Hey Enrique, how did the idea come about? Enrique Pardo: I made the stand because I had thrown away the little plastic stand that came with my iPod touch. I was taking the train to Paris and spent 3 hours thinking of how I could make my iPod stand to watch a movie." G: Euros or dollars? EP: My first stand "cost" 20 euro in fact. euroipodtouchstand.png G: So why did you make one using a $100 bill rather than a $1 bill? EP: I made the video with a $100 bill just as a joke to say: here's what to do with your $100 Apple rebate for the iPhone'€"that doesn't come with a stand! G: And finally, what denomination would you use to make a Zune stand? EP: Concerning the Zune, I have never held one so I can't tell you if this stand would work but if ever I had the chance I'd try to tweak the origami to make a Zune version'€"why not? G: Thanks for your time Enrique EP: Thanks for writing and for the link on Gizmodo! Have to look after my bandwidth allowance now ;-) [YouTube via SwissMiss]

I believe the loaner unit once spent an entire month down in the motorized track system beneath my driver's seat. So it makes complete sense that some people can now pay not the standard $75 for the basic plastic one, but over $500 for a limited edition model in solid gold. The bigger waste of money may be the sterling silver JX10 for just over $400: since the original comes with a silver finish, nobody but you and your accountant may ever notice the difference.

The idea is that one could customize their phone on a whim, but it seems like doing so would be tedious. It's a good idea in theory, I guess. But so were MySpace's customizable pages.

[Google Along with Verizon, Google seems to be talking with Sprint Nextel about plans to debut the Google Phone or Google Phone Operating System (GPOS'€"we coined that just now) on their respective services. Like Apple, in order for Google to get their OS in front of customers, it needs to find a carrier to cooperate with and sell the handset. The WSJ claims that an announcement about the matter is coming some time within two weeks, which means if the GPOS is close to being finished, it might be ready to use as early as the end of the year.

Let's run through the leaked product test. Tiny image? Check. Pixelated? Check. Cellphone camera origin? Fail. But two out of three ain't bad. And while we hate to get ahead of ourselves, we're ready to celebrate that the Treo's antenna is officially dead. If the picture is fake, we're guessing it's a pretty good mock-up since the button layout more closely resembles that of newer Palm models like the Centro. But at least in my book, the Treo needs an extreme makeover (phone edition) to capture my heart again. Screw functionality, I wanted sliding, clicking and some sort of gesture hologram smell control.

The supposed new features are a "carousel" UI where you scroll left and right for features, as well as other small fixes. There shouldn't be anything spectacular in a point release, and any mindblowing changes to Windows Mobile will be coming in Windows Mobile 7 sometime possibly late next year.
