Unveiled last week as a handset that’s “smarter than a smartphone”, the Samsung Jet S8000 will apparently be one of the Sammy’s most successful devices of 2009.

The company has announced that it received more than 2 million pre-orders for the Jet.

We’re not sure if this includes the units that can already be purchased from Vodafone UK, but, either way, it’s an impressive number.

The new phone has a set of very nice features, including a 3.1 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, TouchWiz UI 2.0, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS, 5MP camera, 800 MHz processor and 2GB of internal memory.

Starting this month, Samsung Jet S8000 should be available worldwide, in no less than 50 countries.

There’s still nothing official about the third-generation Apple iPhone, but more and more rumors are starting to appear.

The latest rumor comes from China, providing an insight on what the new iPhone might bring, hardware-wise.

According to this thread from the WeiPhone forum, the next iPhone (model number MB717LL) will rely on a 600MHz processor and 256MB of RAM.

Moreover, the new smartphone should also feature: FM radio, digital compass, 32GB of internal memory and a 3.2MP autofocus camera (it’s not the first time we hear about the 3.2MP camera). And, needless to say, the device will run on iPhone 3.0 OS.

Sadly, it looks like there will be no major changes when it comes to the external case, the display and the battery. Not that there’s something wrong with iPhone 3G’s case, screen and battery, but I think that a fresh design and a display with a higher resolution would be more than welcome. After all, most high-end touchscreen phones now have 480 x 800 pixels screens.

Of course, none of the above specs are confirmed. Let’s hope there’ll actually be much more coming from Apple – the Cupertino company will probably announce the new iPhone during WWDC 2009 (June 8 – 12), at about the same time with the Palm Pre and Microsoft’s new, mysterious Zune.

The Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot is not the newest SE phone in town, but it’s still a 2009 handset – it was announced back in January, at the same time with the W508 Walkman clamshell.

The North American version of C510, namely the Sony Ericsson C510a, has just appeared on SE Canada’s official website. And since it’s a GSM/HSDPA phone, it’s very likely that it will be launched by Rogers – Canada’s only GSM carrier (well, Fido’s a GSM operator too, but it belongs to Rogers anyway).     

Of course, the exact release date of the C510a is not known, but Canadian mobile users will probably be able to buy it in the next few months, maybe at about the same time with the Android-powered HTC Dream and HTC Magic.

In case you don’t know yet, the specs and features of Sony Ericsson C510 / C510a include:

• 2.2 inches TFT scratch-resistant display with 262K colors and 240 x 320 pixels
• 3.2 MP camera with autofocus, face detection, geotagging and LED flash
• Slide in lens cover
• Illuminated imaging shortcuts
• Auto-rotation
• Google Maps
• Access NetFront browser
• Email
• Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
• Bluetooth 2.0
• Media player
• FM radio with RDS
• 100MB of internal memory
• Memory Stick Micro M2 cards support, up to 8GB
• 107 x 47 x 12.5 mm
• 92 grams

Sony Ericsson C510 retails for about €200 ($272) in Europe, so the Canadian C510a shouldn’t be too expensive.

Want to try mixing some music whilst on the go? Well, if this concept hybrid cell phone by Pilotfish ever becomes a reality, we just might be able to see such a situation. As per the concept, the device will come ready with a tiny mixing panel, a trio of recording sticks, internal memory and bendable center which allows users to insert their own pitch blends at selected areas of a track, at the same time acting as a rather weird stress ball. The three OLED-infused sticks function as a main phone panel when installed, or it can be clipped onto instruments for recording purposes when moved.

Sony Ericsson’s W995 has decided to take a trip to the FCC for approval, which is certainly good news for those who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this phone. Specifications wise, it’s certainly a good phone, since it sports a 8.1-megapixel camera, 8GB of internal memory, 2.6-inch QVGA scratch-resistant screen, aGPS, Wi-Fi, stereo speakers and Walkman player 4.0. The bad news however, is that there isn’t any mention of the 850/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA bands that we’re looking for, so this might actually be a European variant of the device. Hopefully we’ll be seeing the North American variant, the W995a, sometime soon.

After a false start, it looks like LG has finally gotten it down pat and officially announced the Viewty Smart (LG-GC900). In case you missed all the hype over the phone, it sports an 8-megapixel camera that has sensitivity up to ISO 1600, LED flash, multi-face detection. It also has LG’s new 3D S-Class UI, which debuted in LG’s Arena earlier this year. A WVGA 3-inch touchscreen display, HSDPA, A-GPS, 1.5GB internal memory and microSD card expansion top off the list, just to make sure that you’re drooling.

The handset is a dual band GSM/GPRS one that features a 2.4 inch TFT touchscreen display, probably with a QVGA resolution.

The price of Orange Vegas (on Pay as You Go) is said to be of only €69 (92 USD), which would make it one of the cheapest full-touch phones ever.

The rest of its specs include:

• Bluetooth
• MP3 player
• FM radio
• 1.3MP camera
• 64MB of internal memory
